What the market actually charges
Moneypex starts around Rs 3,000 a month and leads with FBR e-invoicing. Byopar is near Rs 2,500 with the same pitch. ManageKaro has a free tier and paid plans from about Rs 2,000. LookPOS charges roughly $95 a year, which works out near Rs 2,200 a month.
Modventrix is free for a WhatsApp order page with up to 30 orders a month, Rs 500 for unlimited orders, Rs 1,500 for a full counter till, and Rs 5,000 for complete inventory with purchasing, multiple warehouses and an online store.
International options — QuickBooks, Zoho Inventory, NetSuite — start around $30 a month and go up steeply. They also bill in dollars, so your software cost moves with the exchange rate, which is a real problem when you are budgeting in Rupees.
Why the cheap ones are cheap
Almost every package under Rs 3,000 covers the selling side: billing, a stock count, maybe a counter. That is genuinely useful and for a lot of shops it is enough.
What they usually do not cover is buying. Purchase orders, receiving goods against them, capturing what you actually paid when the rate lands after the order went out, and keeping a running balance per supplier. In import and wholesale that is where the money is made or lost, and it is why the price steps up when a system includes it.
The second thing that costs more is real multi-location stock. Not a location field on a product — separate quantities per warehouse, transfers between them, and reports that keep branches apart instead of pooling them into a total that hides which shop is failing.
The honest test for which tier you need
If you take orders through Instagram and WhatsApp and hold little or no stock, use a free order page. Paying for inventory software before you have an inventory problem is the most common mistake we see.
If you have one counter, one location and buy from one or two suppliers, you want a POS around Rs 1,500. Anything more is capability you will not open.
If you buy on purchase orders, hold stock in more than one place, or sell in more than one channel, you have an inventory problem and the Rs 5,000 tier is doing work the cheaper ones cannot. If none of those are true, do not buy it.
The thing to check before you pay anyone
Ask whether FBR e-invoicing is supported, and get the answer in writing. It is the single most common reason a Pakistani retailer has to switch systems after committing, and vendors are inconsistent about what "FBR ready" means.
Modventrix does not currently submit invoices to FBR's e-invoicing system — we store tax and NTN details on invoices but we do not file them. If that is a legal requirement for your business today, Moneypex or Byopar are the better answer and we will tell you so on the phone.
