Square's point-of-sale software is free — the business model is the processing fee on each sale (2.6% + 15¢ for in-person payments). Hardware readers are cheap and the ecosystem grows into online stores, appointments, and payroll. Square Appointments adds paid tiers for salons, clinics, and services that book online.
Best for: Retailers, cafés, and service businesses that need a free POS and transparent card rates.
