"POS software er dam koto?" is one of the most searched software questions in Bangladesh. Prices range from free (pirated) to several lakh taka, so here is an honest breakdown.
The three price bands
1. Free / pirated desktop POS — Tk 0
No support, no updates, no cloud backup, and often no VAT-compliant invoice. One virus or disk failure and years of data are gone. The "free" option is usually the most expensive mistake.
2. Desktop POS licenses — Tk 15,000–50,000 + yearly AMC
You pay one-time, then discover the extras: AMC (yearly maintenance) fees, per-PC license charges, paid "modules" for reports, and paid visits every time something breaks. The software also lives and dies on one computer.
3. Cloud POS subscription — low monthly/yearly fee
Everything included: updates, backup, support, and access from any device. This is why most new businesses in Dhaka and Chattogram now choose cloud POS. See HisabPlus pricing for current plans.
Hidden costs to ask about
- Is training included, or Tk 5,000 extra?
- Does adding a second counter or branch cost a new license?
- Are software updates free forever?
- Is there a charge to export your own data?
