The POS app itself is free if you self-host Odoo, but most businesses end up paying for Odoo's cloud hosting, other connected apps, or implementation help — so the effective cost is rarely zero.

When does Odoo POS make more sense than TillX?

If you already run (or plan to run) your entire business on Odoo's ERP — accounting, e-commerce, HR — its POS module ties in natively. If you just need a POS that works well out of the box for a retail or F&B shop without adopting a full ERP, TillX is the more direct fit.

Does TillX work offline?

TillX is built for stable cloud connections. If offline-first operation without any internet is a hard requirement for your location, that is worth discussing directly with our team before you switch.

Start free setup Ask us directly

TillX

TillX is a dedicated, single-purpose POS — not a module inside a larger ERP — so setup is built around billing, inventory and profit from day one rather than configuring one module of a much larger system.

Odoo POS

POS module within the Odoo ERP suite

Odoo Point of Sale is a module inside the wider Odoo ERP suite, priced from around $24/user/month on paid plans (the POS app itself is free if self-hosted, though most businesses pay for Odoo's cloud hosting and other connected apps). It works online and offline and syncs once reconnected, and is popular with businesses that want POS tied into a full ERP — accounting, inventory, email marketing and e-commerce in one suite.

Side by side

Where they differ

Topic	TillX	Odoo POS
Product scope	Purpose-built POS: billing, inventory, branches, staff and profit reporting	One module within the full Odoo ERP suite (accounting, inventory, sales, e-commerce, etc.)
Setup complexity	Set up and start billing without configuring a wider ERP	Best value when adopting Odoo's broader ecosystem; more setup if used standalone
Pricing model	Flat published plans on the pricing page	Per-user monthly pricing (from ~$24/user/month), plus hosting/app costs if not self-hosted
Offline sales	Works on standard devices; billing continues uninterrupted on a stable connection	Explicit offline mode — sells and takes orders without internet, syncs when reconnected
Industry-specific workflows	Pre-shaped for 12+ UAE retail and F&B verticals out of the box	Highly customizable, but customization is on you (or an Odoo implementation partner)

Worth switching for

Reasons shops choose TillX over Odoo POS

You want a POS that works immediately without configuring modules across a larger ERP
Per-user ERP pricing doesn't fit a small team running the till
You want workflows already shaped for your specific type of shop, not a general-purpose system you configure yourself
