The short version

  • Only Belliata has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Belliata an archive capture of belliata.com/pricing from 11 December 2023 shows a Free plan (forever, no cost) as one of the named tiers, but the paid tier prices rendered as unreadable/broken text in the captured HTML so no paid figure can be quoted; Revel Systems requires 3-year contract with high early termination fees making it difficult to cancel
  • They diverge on capability: Belliata covers Online booking, Revel Systems covers iPad POS.
