We test and compare payment terminals for small businesses — on pricing, fees, hardware and ease of use. No provider pays for a better placement.
Ranked by our overall score across price, features and ease of use.
SumUp Solo combines a low upfront price, no contract and a standalone terminal with built-in connectivity — one of the easiest and cheapest ways to accept card payments.
Zettle Terminal is a full standalone terminal with strong software and PayPal behind it — a safe choice, but a little pricier per transaction.
myPOS Go suits businesses that want funds instantly and have consistently higher transaction amounts. The fixed fee makes small amounts expensive.
The numbers that matter, side by side.
