LunixPOS vs Clover
Your Clover hardware doesn't have to define your software.
Hardware-first. Software locked to the device.
Clover pricing
$799+ in locked-in hardware, then $14.95–$94.85/mo per device
Best for
Merchants who want a single bank-backed bundle and don't mind hardware lock-in
Where it falls short
Operators who want to choose their own processor and avoid app stacking fees
Clover sells well because banks resell it, but the platform is famously locked to its own hardware. If you ever switch processors you can lose access to your data, and the App Market apps you need quickly stack into hundreds per month.
