The average UK EPOS software subscription costs £720–£1,440 per year. EposDirect costs £0 per year after the one-time £399 + VAT payment. This guide shows what annual EPOS costs are acceptable for UK businesses.
UK businesses spend between £480 and £1,440 per year on EPOS software subscriptions — costs that repeat every year, often with annual price increases at renewal. EposDirect's annual EPOS software cost after year one is £0. The one-time £399 + VAT payment covers the complete software licence indefinitely. When UK business owners calculate annual EPOS costs, EposDirect's model becomes undeniably attractive: the first year costs approximately £399 + VAT (less than one month's subscription for premium providers), and every subsequent year costs nothing.
