Zettle vs SumUp — and the alternative to both.
Zettle is known for a simple card reader and POS app; SumUp for card readers and mobile payments. Here's how they stack up — and why operators who want one platform instead of a pile of tools pick Eleo.
Zettle, SumUp, and Eleo.
High-level positioning across the capabilities most operators need. Check each vendor for current features and pricing.
Reflects typical published plans as of 2026 and is intended as high-level positioning, not a feature audit.
One platform beats either tool.
One platform, not a stack
Both are point tools — you bolt on accounting, an online store and more. Eleo keeps POS, inventory, finance, e-commerce and production on one set of data.
Lower total cost
One subscription instead of several, with a genuinely free plan to start — no per-module add-ons stacking up as you grow.
AI across everything
Because it's one system, Eleo watches sales, stock and cash together and tells you what to do next — neither tool can.
Don't choose between two tools — replace both.
Start free and run POS, inventory, finance, e-commerce and AI on one platform. No card required.
