More detail
The sticker price of a machine is the wrong thing to compare. What matters is the total: hardware, software, eTIMS filing, support and whether stock and M-Pesa are included or charged separately.
A free terminal on a monthly plan removes the upfront barrier that stops many dukas and small shops from going digital, and bundles eTIMS, M-Pesa and stock into one cost.

Is there a free POS in Kenya?
Veira includes a free terminal with every paid plan, so you avoid a large upfront machine cost and pay a monthly subscription that bundles eTIMS, M-Pesa and stock.
Do I need to buy a POS machine at all?
No. Veira runs on a phone or tablet you already own, or on the free terminal, so you can start without buying dedicated hardware.
Veira gives Kenyan shops one calm app for selling, M-Pesa, KRA eTIMS and stock, with a free terminal. Book a demo and see it set up for your trade.
