Pricing comparison
Most of this category charges per unit, forever.
So the bill grows in a straight line for as long as you do. Vendariz includes 20 markets in $15 a month and then charges less for each one you add — not the same. At 100 markets that is $87. The cheapest established alternative with a published price is $154.

Why it costs less
Nothing in your subscription is paying for hardware
The price difference is not a discount or an introductory rate. It is structural, and it has three causes.
No hardware to fund
Platforms priced per unit are usually amortizing a card reader and a cellular connection into a monthly fee. Vendariz sells no hardware, so there is nothing to recover. You keep whatever readers and processor you already have.
Priced per market, and the rate falls
Twenty markets are included in Starter. The twenty-first costs $0.90, and past a hundred it is $0.70, past three hundred $0.50. Per-unit pricing does the opposite: the hundredth unit costs exactly what the first did.
Founder-built, not sales-built
There is no sales organisation, no enterprise procurement cycle, and no quote to negotiate. That overhead is not in the product, so it is not in the price.
Beyond the price
What only Vendariz bundles
Cheapest is not the same as best. No other product in this category puts all of these in one subscription — several of them you cannot get from anyone else at any price.
- Sales telemetry on the free planYour markets’ own sales feeds, included free — 2,000 observed transactions a month, no hardware to buy, no separate telemetry line. Nobody else in this category puts it on a free tier.
- A layout marketplace you can forkPublish a planogram or fork someone else’s, and start a new market from a product mix that already works instead of a blank grid.
- Receipt to margin, end to endPhotograph a supplier receipt; AI turns it into line items, and those costs land in realized margin per product and per market.
- A mileage logbook, kept for youEvery trip logged with date, purpose, and distance — generated from the routes you actually drove, in the shape your accountant wants.
- Financial statements, generatedStatements built from your own restocks, receipts, and mileage — not a CSV you rebuild in a spreadsheet every quarter. On Professional and above.
- QR shopper feedback, free on every planA code on every market turns a frustrated customer into a ticket you can act on. A dedicated specialist product charges $99/month and up for exactly this; Vendariz includes it free — including on the Free plan.
- A free plan with no clock on itThree markets, no card. A plan you can run a small operation on indefinitely — plus 14 days of Pro features on top, and when they end the plan is still there.
- A field app that works with no signalRestock sessions, trips, and mileage queue on the device and sync the moment you are back on signal.
- Every price on the websiteNo demo required to find out what it costs. Most of this category will not tell you without a sales call.
How we got these numbers
Every figure above is a published list price, checked on 3 August 2026. Here is exactly what the comparison does and does not include.
- Software subscription only, on every row. Payment processing and hardware are extra on every row here, including ours. If you take cards, you pay a processor either way, and those fees are in nobody’s column.
- The cheapest alternative, not an average. Each benchmark is the lowest rate we could find published anywhere in that pricing model. We compare against the best case for the alternative, not a convenient one.
- What counts as an alternative. Established platforms in unattended-retail management with a published price and a real operator base. We do not benchmark against hobby projects or one-off tools without a track record — a floor set by a product nobody runs a fleet on is not a price you can plan a business around.
- Cheapest plan that fits, billed monthly. Every row uses the least expensive plan that covers that market count, billed monthly, with no add-ons beyond extra units. Annual billing takes two months off the Vendariz price.
- Team seats are not a per-user cost. Paid Vendariz plans include unlimited team seats, so the figures above are the whole software bill however many people you put in the field. Check the seat model on anything you compare us against — some platforms price per user on top of the per-unit fee.
- Prices move. These were checked against published pricing pages on the date shown. If you find one out of date, email info@vendariz.com and we will correct it.
