Which POS software is best for a shop in Egypt?

There is no single best one; it depends on what your shop needs first. If you must issue ETA e-receipts now, choose a system that issues them today. Otherwise compare Arabic receipts on your own printer, what happens when the internet drops, stock counts, branches and the full price, and use each system's trial on a real day before you commit.

Which of these issue Egyptian ETA e-receipts?

On their own websites, Daftra states that it issues e-receipts through the e-receipt system, and DEXEF states that its cashier software is compatible with the ETA e-invoice system without mentioning e-receipts. Loyverse does not mention ETA. PointLit does not issue e-receipts or e-invoices yet; support is planned.

Which of these have a free plan?

PointLit's Starter plan is a Free plan for one shop, and Loyverse charges nothing for its core POS, with paid add-ons. Daftra lists no free plan and offers a 14-day trial. DEXEF's pages mention a free or trial version without saying whether it ends, and describe a 30-day trial.

Are these prices current?

They are the prices each vendor's own page showed on 19 October 2026, quoted with their currency. Vendors change their prices and offers, so check the source pages listed below before you decide. PointLit's own prices are on its pricing page, read from the live price list.

Is this comparison neutral?

We make PointLit, so it is not neutral, and we say so. To keep it fair, every fact about another system comes from that vendor's own website, with the source and the date, and the page says what another system offers that PointLit does not. Corrections go to support@pointlit.com.

Head-to-head comparisons

PointLit vs Daftra

A one-time licence that it says works with ETA e-invoicing, or a shop POS with a Free plan and monthly plans.

How was this comparison made?

Every fact about another system comes from that vendor's own website: its pricing page, its product pages and its pages about Egyptian e-invoicing. Each source is listed at the end of this page with the day it was read. Where a vendor's pages do not say something, the table says "not stated" rather than guessing, and where two of its pages disagree, it says so.

We make PointLit, so read this page knowing that. The page has no ratings and no scores, only facts you can check, and it says what another system offers that PointLit does not. PointLit's own prices are on our pricing page, read from the live price list. Prices and features change; check each vendor's page before you decide. If you find a fact here that is out of date, write to support@pointlit.com and we will correct it.

What does each one offer?

Daftra states that it is integrated with the Egyptian Tax Authority's e-invoice system and issues e-receipts, which PointLit does not do yet. Its plans page also lists accounting, HR, CRM and manufacturing modules, and it has iOS and Android apps.
DEXEF sells a one-time licence, for an owner who prefers to pay once, and states that its cashier software works with the ETA e-invoice system and runs on Windows, iOS and Android. Its RED edition lists a barcode scale.
Loyverse charges nothing for its core POS, runs as a phone and tablet app, and manages several stores at no charge. Its add-ons are priced in US dollars, and its pages do not mention Egyptian e-invoicing.
PointLit has a Free plan for one shop, publishes its prices in Egyptian pounds with VAT included, keeps selling through an internet cut during a shift on every plan, lets you count stock and the cash drawer blind, and is built around sizes, colours and seasonal collections, with transfers between branches on Chain. It does not issue ETA e-receipts yet and has no app-store apps.

Which one fits your shop?

If your business must issue ETA e-receipts now, choose a system that issues them today; PointLit does not yet. The table above quotes what each vendor states, and our ETA e-receipt explainer lists what to ask any vendor.
If you want one system for the till, accounting and payroll, choose one whose plans include those modules: PointLit is not a full accounting system.
If you would rather pay once for a licence, ask any vendor that sells one what support and updates cost after you buy. PointLit's paid plans are paid up front for 1, 3, 6 or 12 months.
If you want to start one shop at no monthly cost, compare PointLit's Free plan with Loyverse's core POS on Arabic receipts, Egyptian pound prices and what happens when the internet drops.
If you sell clothing or shoes in many sizes and colours, across seasons and branches, request early access to PointLit, and ask each of the others to show the same thing on your own products.

Why are Qoyod and other systems not in the table?

Qoyod is an accounting and POS system offered in Saudi Arabia and Jordan. On 19 October 2026 its own country menu marked Egypt as "Soon", so it is not offered to shops in Egypt yet and is left out of the table. We add a system when its own pages state the facts this table compares.
