How we calculate the difference

Annual software difference = (your monthly software cost per location − your selected Taply monthly plan) × locations × 12. Prices are held constant for this illustration. A lower current bill will show Taply costing more; equal prices show no savings.

The default example is Square Premium at $149, compared with Taply Ultra at $29.99 per location/month: $1,788 − $359.88 = $1,428.12 less per year for one location. Selecting Premium with one $20 KDS app subscription makes the difference $1,668.12. This is a price comparison, not a claim of equivalent features or guaranteed savings. Free or custom competitor plans may cost less.

Taply Free includes one main register for custom amounts, tax and Stripe M2. Pro includes one main register, one printer and M2; S710 is an optional $5/month connection. Ultra includes one main register plus five connections: receipt printer, kitchen printer, customer display or KDS, one S710 connection, and one Floor app. The main register’s M2 connection is separate. Running both a customer display and a KDS requires Enterprise. Multiple locations here represent separate subscriptions, not centralized multi-location tools; Enterprise pricing is custom. Confirm the plan that covers your required features and devices.

Excludes equipment purchases or leases, payment processing, taxes, implementation, shipping, contract exit charges and optional services. One-time hardware savings are not repeated annually. Discounts, promotions, custom quotes and future price changes are not assumed. This is not a total ownership cost estimate.

Sources and comparison details

Checked September 16, 2026. Competitor figures come from their official US websites and may change. Taply hardware figures are our supplied-setup prices. The $173 hardware difference is $768 − $595; the 22.5% figure is rounded. No payment-processing savings are assumed.

Apple’s standard 11-inch iPad (A16) has an A16 chip, storage starting at 128GB and an all-screen design with Touch ID in the top button. The 10.9-inch 10th-generation iPad also has top-button Touch ID; it uses A14 Bionic and starts at 64GB. Both displays measure 10.86 inches diagonally as a rectangle, with 2360 × 1640 resolution and 500-nit brightness. The older 10.2-inch 9th-generation iPad has the front Home button. Square supports both the A16 and 10th-generation models; this comparison uses the same A16 model rather than assuming a competitor supplies an older iPad. Confirm the exact model, storage and connectivity in your hardware quote. Apple’s 9th-generation specifications ↗

* Lightspeed’s US price card omits a billing period; $4,428.12 is an illustration assuming $399/month, not a verified annual quote. Clover uses its Advanced purchase option’s recurring software charge, excluding $4,447 equipment; its $354/month, 36-month equipment subscription is a different option.

Before you switch

Frequently asked questions.

Hardware, costs and the details to settle before you choose your setup.

Talk through your setup
Can I use hardware I already own?

Taply Restaurant uses compatible iPads. Taply Floor can use compatible iPhone or Android phones on Ultra and Enterprise. Bring your exact device, printer and reader models to the demo so we can confirm your setup.

Do I have to buy a complete hardware package?

No. You can bring compatible devices or choose a supplied setup. Hardware and software are separate. Ask for an itemized quote with the devices and accessories you need.

Can I move my menu, products and customer data?

Bring sample exports from your current system. Review which fields can be moved, any cleanup and the import cost with us before choosing a launch date. Keep a copy of your original records.

What happens if the Wi-Fi or internet goes down?

Review outage behavior for your exact devices and setup in the demo. Ask to see which tasks need a connection, what happens during an outage and how records are checked after reconnecting.

Can I take card payments offline?

Confirm this separately for your reader and processor. Ask which payment methods need a connection, and how to check a payment with an unclear status, before choosing your payment setup.

What will card processing cost?

Processing is separate from software and hardware. Request a quote for your card volume and payment mix, including the percentage rate, per-transaction fee and other applicable charges.

What is the contract length?

Ask for the term, renewal rules, notice period and any cancellation or equipment charges in writing. Compare the software agreement and payment agreement separately before you sign.

When can I get support?

Ultra includes Hugsy phone support for the first 30 days from initial Ultra activation. Enterprise includes ongoing 24/7 Hugsy phone support while active. The Hugsy tab is hidden after the Ultra window ends. Help guides and email support remain available.

How much will switching cost?

Compare software, hardware, processing and optional setup separately. Use the pricing calculators as a starting point, then include any import work, training and fees from your current provider in the final budget.

How should I plan the first day on Taply?

Use your demo to walk through a normal day and the exceptions your team handles. Agree on the setup, training and launch steps before changing your live operation.
