The short version

  • Only Toast has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: NCR Voyix pricing is negotiated and unpublished, so there is no way to sanity check a quote against a list price, and comparison against competitors requires running a full procurement rather than reading two pricing pages.; Toast starter tier lacks advanced features; most capabilities require paid plans above $69/month
  • They diverge on capability: NCR Voyix covers Restaurant point of sale, Toast covers Point of sale.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 30 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

NCR Voyix

  • Pricing is negotiated and unpublished, so there is no way to sanity check a quote against a list price, and comparison against competitors requires running a full procurement rather than reading two pricing pages.
  • Contracts run for years and include hardware, so the commitment is capital as well as subscription, and a refresh cycle you fund is built into the relationship from the start.
  • Implementation requires professional services or a partner, so the true first year cost is a multiple of the software line and the go-live date depends on a third party's delivery schedule rather than your own team.
  • The system becomes entangled with payments, loyalty, kitchen and back office integrations, so replacing it later is a multi-year programme and the switching cost grows every year you stay.
  • NCR has been through a corporate split and subsequent divestitures, so product line ownership, roadmap and support responsibility have moved before and could move again during a long contract term.

Toast

  • Starter tier lacks advanced features; most capabilities require paid plans above $69/month
  • No free tier for advanced features like employee scheduling, inventory, or loyalty programs
  • Setup and training time required for complex multi-location deployments
  • Payment processing tied to Toast ecosystem; limited flexibility for alternative payment processors
  • Hardware costs can be substantial for full-featured setups with multiple terminals and kitchen displays

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

NCR Voyix: Is this an e-commerce platform?

No. It runs stores and restaurants. If you need an online storefront you are buying that separately and integrating it.

Toast: What is the cost of Toast POS?

Toast offers a free Starter Kit tier for one or two terminals with POS and payment processing at no upfront cost, though costs are built into payment processing rates. Paid plans start at $69/month for the Point of Sale plan, with Custom tier available via quote for advanced features.

NCR Voyix: What does it cost?

Nothing is published. Pricing is negotiated per deal and includes hardware and implementation, so budget for a first year total well above the software subscription.

Toast: Does Toast include online ordering?

Yes. Toast offers online ordering capabilities where customers can order via QR code while seated (Order & Pay) or through standalone online ordering integrated with the POS for kitchen automation.

Source
NCR Voyix: Who is it actually for?

Multi-site chains. An independent restaurant or single shop is not the buyer and will get better economics from a self-serve POS.

Toast: Does Toast offer drive-through capabilities?

Yes. In April 2026, Toast launched a drive-thru product supporting voice ordering through integrations, allowing restaurants to automate drive-through workflows.

NCR Voyix: What should I ask during negotiation?

Get the roadmap and support ownership for your specific product line in writing, given the corporate restructuring, and get the exit terms and data extraction rights defined before signature.
