Loyverse and QuickBiz get compared constantly. Both run on phones. Both target small shops. Both work in Kuwait. The honest answer to "which is better" is: it depends on what you actually need — and most online comparisons skip that part.
This one doesn't.
Quick verdict
Pick Loyverse if: You need a genuinely free POS, you're cash-only or all-card (no credit sales), and English receipts are acceptable for your customers. The free tier is real and the app is solid.
Pick QuickBiz if: You sell on credit (any meaningful amount), you need Arabic receipts, you want KNET labelled as KNET rather than "Card", you're growing past Loyverse's free-tier limits, or you want the Kuwait-built experience throughout.
Pricing
Loyverse: Free tier covers basic POS, inventory up to 100 items, one location. Paid add-ons start around USD 25/month per feature (employee management, advanced inventory, etc.). Stack three add-ons and you're at USD 75-100/month.
QuickBiz: Free 14-day trial. Then a single KWD subscription that includes everything — customer credit, supplier ledger, full reports, multi-payment, Arabic — no per-feature add-ons. See current pricing at quickbiz.pro/plans.
For a small shop staying within Loyverse free-tier limits, Loyverse is cheaper. The moment you need any one of: customer credit tracking, multi-store, employee permissions, or Arabic receipts, the comparison flips.
Feature-by-feature
Arabic language support
Loyverse: App UI has Arabic menu translations. Receipts print in English regardless of UI language. For Kuwait customers, this means your beautifully-Arabic-configured app still hands them an English receipt.
QuickBiz: Full Arabic UI with RTL layout. Receipts print in Arabic. Customer names accept Arabic without breaking the database. Reports render in Arabic. End-to-end Arabic isn't an add-on — it's the default.
KNET / payment method naming
Loyverse: Card payment is "Card". You can rename it in settings but reports group it under generic categories.
QuickBiz: "Online" (covering KNET, debit cards) is a first-class payment category. Cash, Online, Credit, and Partial are the four core types — matching how Kuwait shops actually think about transactions.
Customer credit / supplier ledger
Loyverse: Basic customer database is in the free tier. Credit-sale tracking with running balances requires the Advanced Inventory add-on. Supplier ledger is not natively supported — you track supplier debt outside the app.
QuickBiz: Customer credit ledger AND supplier ledger are core features. Every credit sale links to a customer. Every credit purchase links to a supplier. Running balances update in real time. Repayments (full or partial) get recorded against the right party. No add-on.
Inventory limits
Loyverse: Free tier caps at 100 items. Paid tier removes the limit.
QuickBiz: No item cap on any plan.
Profit reporting
Loyverse: Reports show sales totals and basic margin per item. Cost-of-goods tracking is available but requires manual cost entry on every purchase.
QuickBiz: Perpetual weighted-average cost (WAC) — each purchase auto-updates the cost basis, every sale auto-calculates COGS using the current WAC. Net profit (Sales − Returns − COGS − Expenses) is the headline number on the dashboard. Full explanation of the profit math here.
Thermal receipt printing
Loyverse: Supports common Bluetooth thermal printers. English receipts.
QuickBiz: Bluetooth + LAN thermal printers. 58mm and 80mm paper. Bilingual receipts (Arabic + English on the same receipt if needed).
Offline mode
Both apps work offline and sync when reconnected. Tie.
When Loyverse wins
- You're starting with zero budget — Loyverse's free tier is genuinely free and good enough to run a shop on, indefinitely
- Under 100 products, cash-only or all-card — well within the free-tier sweet spot
- You don't need Arabic receipts — your customers are fine with English
- No credit sales — or so few that tracking them in a notebook is acceptable
- Single-location, single-owner — Loyverse's free tier was designed exactly for this case
When QuickBiz wins
- You sell on credit — even occasionally — and want a real ledger, not a side note
- Arabic matters — for receipts, for staff, for customer relationships
- KNET / Online payment naming matters — you want reports that match how Kuwait talks about payments
- Your inventory will pass 100 items — clothes shops, electronics, hardware, accessories all hit this quickly
- You want one subscription, no per-feature add-ons — pricing transparency over feature gating
- Net profit on the dashboard matters more than just sales totals
Migrating from Loyverse to QuickBiz
If you've been on Loyverse and want to switch, here's the path:
- From Loyverse dashboard → Reports → Export products to CSV
- From Loyverse dashboard → Customers → Export customers to CSV
- QuickBiz Import → upload both CSVs (the column format matches)
- Enter opening balances for any customer with outstanding credit
- Run both apps for one week to make sure nothing's missing
- Cancel Loyverse paid add-ons (if any) — the free tier remains usable as a backup
Most one-shop migrations finish in 90-120 minutes. The hardest part is the opening-balance entry for credit customers — go through your notebook one customer at a time, enter the balance, and move on.
Frequently asked questions
Is Loyverse really free in Kuwait?
Yes, the basic Loyverse plan is genuinely free with no time limit. It works in Kuwait. The free tier covers basic POS, inventory under 100 products, and one location. Multi-store, employee management, and customer credit require paid add-ons.
Does Loyverse support Arabic?
Loyverse has Arabic menu translations but its printed receipts are English-only. For a Kuwait shop where many customers prefer Arabic receipts, this is a real gap.
Can I track customer credit in Loyverse?
Not in the free tier. Loyverse Advanced Inventory at USD 25/month includes credit tracking. QuickBiz includes customer + supplier credit ledgers in the standard plan.
How does KNET payment work in Loyverse?
Loyverse treats KNET as a generic "Card" payment. Cards still work through a separate KNET terminal, but receipts and reports show "Card" instead of "Online" or "KNET".
Can I switch from Loyverse to QuickBiz easily?
Yes. Loyverse exports products and customers to CSV. QuickBiz imports the same format. Most one-shop migrations take under two hours.
