How are the savings calculated?
For one location: (the selected provider’s monthly software price − the selected Taply plan) × 12. For Square Premium: ($149 − $29.99) × 12 = $1,428.12. With one $20/month Square KDS app, the difference is $1,668.12. A cheaper selected plan shows Taply costing more; equal prices show zero difference. Equipment, processing, tax, setup and unselected add-ons are excluded. This is a software illustration, not guaranteed total savings.
Are these equivalent plans?
This comparison pairs Ultra with higher-tier restaurant offerings, not entry-level defaults. The packages still differ. Toast Build Your Own requires a quote. Lightspeed Premium’s advertised $399 is illustrated as monthly because its price card omits the period. Clover Advanced is a hardware bundle with Restaurant Growth software, not a separate software tier. Taply Ultra covers one location, one main register and five specified connections (customer display or KDS, not both); centralized multi-location tools require Enterprise. Compare the features, devices, support and processing terms you actually need.
Can I compare a custom quote?
For negotiated, bundled or enterprise pricing, select “Use my own invoice or quote” and enter just the recurring software amount. We do not assume a custom quote costs $0.
Does Taply need a separate analytics platform?
Taply has its own sales, inventory and staff reporting, with demand forecasting. Review the analytics and location tools included in your plan. Explore Taply reporting.
What should I include in a complete quote?
Use the same locations, active devices, features and payment volume for every provider. Include equipment, installation, processing, software add-ons and taxes. Confirm the billing period, contract term, support hours, renewal and cancellation conditions. Talk through your setup with Taply.
