Vend plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lean | $69/month | 2 | Entry tier |
| Standard | $119/month | 2 | +$50/month, 2 more features |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.
Lean
$69/monthThe entry tier. It covers single register, basic inventory management.
Standard
$119/monthOver Lean, this tier adds:
- Multi-outlet management
- Promotions
What the product covers
The full Vend feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.
Other
- Point of sale
- Inventory management
- Customer management
- Employee management
- Sales analytics
- Mobile POS
- Multi-location support
- Reporting
People bring Vend in for unifying inventory across physical stores and online channels, managing multi-location sales with centralized customer data, processing transactions and loyalty rewards in single system, gaining real-time visibility into store-level sales performance. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Vend are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in Inventory

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Vend badges page.
Before you pay for Vend
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 2 tiers between $69/month and $119/month, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
Vend runs on web, ios, android, and is published by Vend (Lightspeed subsidiary) of Auckland, New Zealand. The full record is on the Vend review, and the rest of the category is under best inventory tools.
