Storey vs Square
Square offers a $0 Free plan, but core features such as loyalty programs and staff scheduling sit behind paid tiers, and processing rates change by plan.
Storey is one flat product: every module — retail, restaurants and table service, reservations and bookings, invoicing, inventory, employee management, e-commerce and loyalty — is included, with no per-feature fees, no paid tiers and no software cost. The only paid part is card processing, at competitive rates with no software markup.
