Most shops choose billing software once and live with it for years, so it pays to compare properly. Work through these questions in order.
What should it cost?
Free tools are fine for very small shops but usually limit invoices, users or support — see free billing software for small business, free billing software for retail shops and open-source vs paid. For what paid software really costs, read billing software price for retail shops.
Cloud, offline or PC?
Cloud software works from any device and keeps a backup for you; offline software keeps billing when the internet drops. Many shops want both — compare in cloud vs offline billing software, offline billing for retail and billing software for PC. Hardware question: POS software vs a billing machine.
