Epos Now Review 2026: US Pricing, Contracts, Pros and Cons

Epos Now, sold in the US by EposNow LLC of Florida, offers cloud POS software, countertop and mobile hardware, and its own card processing to retail and hospitality businesses in the US. The pitch is a complete system in one order: a Countertop 2 terminal with a 15.6-inch full HD touchscreen, an Air card machine, a receipt printer and personalized onboarding. Our best POS systems ranking covers the whole category; this page is about Epos Now alone.

Toolradar data: on Toolradar, the software directory we run, Epos Now is listed as an alternative to 1 other tool, joint #134 of 191 payment processing tools, as of October 2026. Buyers rarely shortlist it against the big names, which is why its price and contract deserve a close read before you sign.

Epos Now sells hardware bundles, POS software and Epos Now Payments together. The Complete POS System includes the Countertop 2 terminal, Epos Now POS software, the Air card machine with Epos Now Payments, an 80mm POS80 thermal receipt printer, and personalized onboarding and training. Other devices include the Pro+ handheld, a dual-screen Duo and Micro, which runs the software on your own device.

The software covers sales, stock and reporting, with an AppStore of 100+ integrations such as QuickBooks, Xero, Deputy, Mailchimp and Shopify. Epos Now Online adds a website builder that syncs products and prices between store and web.

You request an offer or a quote, a salesperson configures the bundle, and Epos Now ships the hardware with onboarding. Payments run through Adyen as the facilitating bank, and card reports sit next to sales reports in the Back Office. Support, under the US terms, runs weekdays 9:00 to 18:00 and Saturdays 9:00 to 17:00, with 24/7 cover on Premium support.

Pricing depends on the proposition you sign. The live US terms list two zero-upfront bundles, Plus with Epos Now Payments and Basic with a third-party processor, while a time-limited web offer sells the Complete POS System with an upfront payment. Get the monthly fee, the term length and the processing rate in writing, because the terms say they take precedence over prices on the website.

Epos Now prints its US prices in three places, all read on 19 October 2026: the US terms and conditions, in force since 5 September 2022, list Plus at $0 upfront and $99 a month with Epos Now Payments and Basic at $0 upfront and $129 a month with a third-party processor, and say they take precedence over website pricing. The payments page sets card payments at 2.6% + 10¢. The Complete POS System product page also runs a time-limited offer, $399 upfront against a crossed-out $1,099 with a countdown timer and terms applying; treat it as a promotion to confirm in your quote. Other bundles and larger stores go through a quote.

Our scenario: a store taking $20,000 a month in card sales across 500 in-person payments. On the Plus plan in its written terms, Epos Now costs $669 a month: the $99 fee plus $570 in processing. On the same sales, Square Free costs $595 a month, Square Plus $624, Shopify Basic with POS Pro $698, and Clover Retail Standard $594.95, our arithmetic on each vendor's printed rates. Square and Shopify hardware is extra; Clover Standard adds $1,899 upfront, while Epos Now Plus charges nothing upfront and keeps the hardware as its property.

Over a first year with hardware included, that makes Epos Now Plus $8,028 and Clover Standard $9,038.40 for this store. Epos Now's zero upfront wins the first year; Clover's $74.05 lower monthly bill catches up after about 26 months. Rates were read on Square's pricing page, Clover's retail pricing and Shopify's POS pricing the same day.

Epos Now suits a small retail store or café opening its first location that wants a countertop terminal, card machine and printer delivered and set up together, with onboarding included. It also suits owners who value a US support team on Saturdays and are comfortable processing through Epos Now Payments. Our clothing boutique POS and coffee shop POS rankings show where it lands against specialists.

Skip Epos Now if you want to keep your own processor at a negotiated rate, since the Basic plan with third-party payments costs more each month. Skip it too if you want a month-to-month plan you can leave at any time; KORONA POS runs month to month and works with any processor.
