Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

BentoBox

  • BentoBox is now Clover, and its own site states that BentoBox products and services are only available to Clover POS customers
  • The pricing page publishes no plan price, setup fee, online ordering commission or contract length
  • Existing customers wanting to add services are directed to a customer success manager or an email address rather than a self serve price

Rezku POS

  • Platform exclusivity: only available on iPad, excluding Android, Windows, and other platforms limiting deployment flexibility
  • Payment processing lock-in: requires use of Rezku Pay proprietary payment processing with no ability to negotiate rates or switch
  • Hardware reliability issues: card readers have 30-day warranty with frequent connectivity issues and premature failures
  • Limited integration options: the list of integrations is solid but shorter than competitors with less third-party support
  • No free trial: requires sales team demos rather than offering self-service trial access
