Loyverse or TajerGo, in short
In short
For a UAE cafe that buys stock and sells on credit, TajerGo covers more of the day at AED prices. Its free plan includes inventory basics, the khata ledger and 10 supplier bill reviews a month, and paid plans are priced per branch in dirhams. Loyverse is free at the core too, but purchase orders and transfers sit in a USD 25 per store add-on and prices exclude tax. Loyverse remains a capable free choice for a simple counter, and its kitchen display is free.
Why switch
Why UAE operators switch from Loyverse to TajerGo
One checkable fact per card, with the page that shows it working.
Published per-branch pricing
TajerGo plans are in dirhams per branch, before VAT. Loyverse prices its add-ons in US dollars per store, so the amount moves with your card rate.
PricingSupplier bills flow into recipe cost
The free TajerGo plan reviews 10 supplier bills a month, and the approved cost reaches the drink’s recipe. On Loyverse, purchase orders sit in the paid Advanced Inventory add-on.
Recipe costingA khata ledger for customers who pay later
Regulars who pay at the end of the month get a khata tab with a running balance and aging, from the free plan. Loyverse’s free apps list a loyalty program; a credit ledger is not listed.
Khata ledgerAI agents that ask before they act
When the cafe grows, TajerGo agents draft orders and flag supplier price changes for approval. Loyverse’s published apps and add-ons do not include agents.

Where TajerGo and Loyverse part ways
On Loyverse the free core covers selling, and buying stock through the system means the Advanced Inventory add-on per store. On TajerGo, inventory, reports, the khata ledger and a monthly allowance of supplier bill reviews start at Free. For a counter that never buys stock through the system, Loyverse free may be enough.
What the Loyverse price page settles
Loyverse genuinely publishes its core apps as free, including essential inventory and a kitchen display, and prices the rest as per-store add-ons in US dollars: Advanced Inventory, which adds purchase orders and stock transfers, at USD 25 a month; Employee Management at USD 25; Unlimited Sales History at USD 7. Prices exclude taxes. For a UAE cafe two things follow: the amount moves with your card rate, and buying stock through the system means paying for Advanced Inventory per store. Add up the add-ons each branch needs before treating free as the total.
