Comparison · Mewayz vs Lightspeed

The whole business,
not just the POS.

Lightspeed runs a strong retail or restaurant POS, but the ecommerce store, loyalty, marketing and deeper features climb tier by tier and add-on by add-on, on top of payments. Mewayz gives you the store, your site, payments and the full back office on one login and one flat price.

Where Lightspeed's tiers climb

Three reasons teams switch.

01

Ecommerce and loyalty are add-ons

The POS is the base; the online store, loyalty and marketing are separate modules priced on higher tiers as you grow.

02

Priced by tier and register

Plans scale by feature tier and register count, on top of card processing, so the bill grows with the business.

03

The back office lives elsewhere

Full accounting, HR and CRM sit in other tools, so the sale, the staff roster and the books never share one record.

Build your store and site

Import your catalogue, publish an on-brand store and website, and take payments through your own gateway.

Step 02

Put the back office next to the till

CRM, staff, invoicing and accounting are included, so the sale and the roster share one record.

Step 03

Cancel the separate ecommerce, loyalty and marketing modules. One flat Mewayz plan covers them.
