FOR LICENSED DISPENSARIES
The short answer
Exactly two cannabis POS vendors publish a price. Cova lists $349 a month for up to two workstations and $499 a month for up to four when you also take Cova Pay, and IndicaOnline lists $240 to $680 a month billed annually depending on how many register and courier licenses you need. Everyone else, Dutchie, Flowhub, Treez, BLAZE, Meadow, Sweed and POSaBIT among them, routes you to a demo, and the figures reported for them run roughly $399 to $1,000 a month per location. One thing to know before you read any other comparison: of the five most visible cannabis POS roundups on Google, the three written by companies that sell a POS each rank their own product first, and not one of those three publishes a price. Dispensaries is a directory. We do not sell a POS, and nothing on this page is for sale here.

Ranking roundups written by a POS vendor that put their own product first
Searching for a cannabis POS comparison puts you in front of a strange market. Point of sale is the single largest recurring software bill a dispensary carries, it is a multi-year commitment because migrating a register mid-license is painful, and almost none of the companies selling it will tell you what it costs without a sales call first. So buyers do the sensible thing and read the comparisons. The problem is who wrote them.
We opened the five cannabis POS roundups ranking on Google in September 2026 and checked two things about each: who publishes it, and who it puts first. Three of the five are published by companies that sell a cannabis POS, and all three rank their own product at number one. None of those three quotes a price for anything, including their own product. The two that do publish prices are the two with no POS to sell. That is not a scandal, it is ordinary marketing, but it does mean the comparison you are reading is usually an ad. This page is our attempt at the version that is not: every price below is either taken from the vendor own published rate card or labelled as a third-party report, and we say plainly which is which.
Why it works
The monthly number means nothing until you know what it counts. Cova meters workstations, IndicaOnline meters register and courier licenses, Jane charges per completed online order, and the directories cannot agree whether Flowhub $399 is per user or per account. Two quotes at $499 can differ by thousands a year on the same store.
Cova roundup ranks Cova first. The BLAZE roundup ranks BLAZE first. The Meadow roundup ranks Meadow first. All three are legitimate companies writing legitimate marketing, and none of them publishes a price. Read them, but read them as vendor material.
Cova charges $349 a month with Cova Pay and $389 without, so the software discount is paid for by the payment rail. Dutchie prices similarly move with whether you take its payments product. Always ask what the software costs if you bring your own processor, then compare that number.
One software directory reports Flowhub onboarding at $5,000 to $50,000, and a seed-to-sale vendor reports implementation fees of $500 to $1,000 per location as normal. For a single store the setup line can exceed the first year of subscription. Get it in the same written quote.
Every system on this list reports to the state track-and-trace system, so compliance is table stakes rather than a differentiator. What varies is whether the integration is certified for your specific license type, particularly delivery and non-storefront retail. Ask for it in writing for your license, not for the state generally.
Dispensaries is a directory of state-licensed shops, not a POS vendor and not a reseller for one. We take no referral fee from anything on this page. A claimed, license-verified listing is $99 a month, flat, and it brings shoppers to a store whose register is already sorted.
How it works
Cova, IndicaOnline and GrowFlow publish real prices, which makes them the only fixed points in this market. Cova runs $349 to $599 a month depending on workstations and whether you take Cova Pay; IndicaOnline runs $240 to $680 a month billed annually; GrowFlow retail runs $420 to $499 a month per license depending on term. Whatever a quoted vendor tells you, you now have a yardstick.
Count registers, locations, delivery vehicles and monthly online orders. Those four numbers decide which pricing model is cheapest for you, and they are the only way to make quotes comparable. A store doing 200 online orders a month and one doing 2,000 should not pick the same system.
Ask for software, implementation, hardware and payment processing as four separate lines, for the same register count, with the contract term and the price at renewal. Vendors quote different bundles by default, and a verbal number that turns out to include payments is not comparable to one that does not.
Subscription plus implementation plus hardware plus the processing spread over 36 months is the number that reflects what switching actually costs. It also surfaces the cheap-install, expensive-contract pattern that makes the first quote look best and the third year hurt.
The numbers
| POS system | Price | Published by the vendor? | What the price meters | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cova | $349/mo with Cova Pay, $389 without; $499/mo with Cova Pay, $599 without | Yes, public US rate card | Workstations: up to 2 on Boutique, unlimited on Powerhouse | Owners who want a real number before booking a demo |
| IndicaOnline | $240 to $680/mo billed annually ($300 to $850 billed monthly) | Yes, public rate card | Plan tier, with 2 to 10 register licenses and courier licenses | Storefront and delivery on one published card |
| Dutchie | Reported around $299/mo for basic ecommerce, up to $1,000/mo per location | No | Location and the modules you switch on | Stores where online ordering volume leads the business |
| Flowhub | Reported at $399/mo, though directories disagree on the unit | No | Disputed: listed as per user, per account and per location | Single-location storefronts wanting a light register |
| Jane | Reported at roughly $1 per completed online order | No, but the model is stated by its founder | Completed online orders, not stores or registers | Menus that would rather pay per order than per month |
| BLAZE | Reported from $500/mo by one affiliate directory | No | Location, channels and volume, quoted | Delivery and distribution running alongside retail |
| Treez | Not published, quoted only | No | Quoted | Enterprise and multi-state operators |
| Meadow | Not published, quoted only | No | Quoted | California retail and delivery operators |
| Sweed | Not published, quoted only | No | Quoted | Chains wanting POS, ecommerce and loyalty in one contract |
| POSaBIT | Not published, quoted only | No | Quoted, and led by the payments product | Stores buying the register and the payment rail together |
| LeafLink | Not a dispensary register at all | n/a | n/a | B2B wholesale ordering between licensees, not retail checkout |
Cova and IndicaOnline prices read from their own public pricing pages on September 21, 2026, and both are current as of that date. Everything in the reported column is a third-party figure from a software directory, a competitor roundup or a founder statement, not a vendor quote, and none of it is a substitute for a written offer for your own store count. We checked each remaining vendor own site for a published price and found none. We sell no POS and take no referral fee from any vendor listed here.

Mostly the vendors themselves. In September 2026 we opened the cannabis POS comparisons ranking on Google first page and recorded two facts about each: who publishes it, and which product it puts first. Three of the five are published by companies that sell a cannabis POS, and every one of those three ranks its own product at number one. None of the three publishes a price for any system, including its own.
The two exceptions prove the point rather than breaking it. Distru, which sells seed-to-sale software for cultivators and distributors rather than a retail register, ranks BLAZE first and does quote some figures. Software Connect, a directory carrying an affiliate disclosure, ranks BLAZE first and publishes starting prices for three of its five picks. The publishers with no POS to sell are the ones willing to talk about money.
None of this makes those articles worthless. A POS vendor writing about its own category often knows the category better than anyone, and the feature descriptions in them are frequently accurate. It does mean that the ordering is a marketing decision rather than a finding, and that a comparison with no prices in it cannot help you with the decision you are actually making. Here is what we found, so you can weigh each source yourself.
There is no single best cannabis POS, and any comparison that names one without asking about your business is selling something. The honest answer is that four facts about your store decide it: how many registers you run, whether you deliver, how much of your volume arrives as an online order, and whether you want to control your own payment processor. Those four route you to different systems, and they route you there fairly reliably.
If you run one storefront and want to know the price before a sales call, Cova, IndicaOnline and GrowFlow are the only three vendors that will tell you, which is worth something on its own. If delivery or distribution runs alongside the store, BLAZE and Meadow are the names that come up most, and IndicaOnline is the only one of the three that publishes what its delivery tier costs. If most of your revenue arrives through an online menu, Jane per-order model can be cheaper than any flat subscription below roughly 400 orders a month and more expensive above it. If you are a multi-state operator, Treez and Sweed are built for that and neither will quote you without a call.
The one answer we can give confidently is about process rather than product: decide your four numbers first, ask all of them for the same four written lines, and compare on a three-year total. We go deeper on what the whole stack costs, including hardware and processing, in our breakdown of cannabis POS pricing across vendors, and on the register hardware itself in our guide to dispensary POS hardware costs per register.
For the software alone, roughly $240 to $1,000 a month per location. The bottom of that band is IndicaOnline Core tier at $240 a month billed annually, and the top is the figure reported for a full Dutchie implementation. Cova sits in the middle at $349 to $599 depending on workstations and whether you take its payment product. Those are the anchors, and they come from published rate cards rather than estimates.
The wider ranges you will see quoted are describing the whole stack, not the subscription. One directory puts monthly cannabis POS software at $200 to $2,000 and annual totals at $3,000 to over $100,000. A seed-to-sale vendor describes mid-tier systems at $500 to $1,500 per location per month plus $500 to $1,000 in implementation per location. Both are reasonable descriptions of a market that includes a single medical shop and a forty-store operator, which is exactly why an average is useless to you and your own four numbers are not.
What surprises operators most is not the subscription. It is the implementation line, which one directory reports at $5,000 to $50,000 for Flowhub onboarding, and the payment processing, which is usually the largest cannabis-specific cost in the building and is quoted separately by everyone. We cover why the card networks still complicate that, and what the alternatives cost per transaction, in our page on cannabis payment processing for dispensaries.
A dispensary POS bundle is software plus the register hardware sold as one package: a terminal or tablet, a receipt printer, a barcode scanner and a cash drawer, and in many states a label printer and a legal-for-trade scale. Vendor-assembled cannabis bundles are reported at roughly $2,500 to $6,000 per register one time, plus the monthly software, which on the two published cards is $240 to $680 a month for IndicaOnline and $349 to $599 for Cova.
Check which kind of bundle a quote describes before you compare two of them. Some vendors use the word for a hardware kit, some for a software tier priced by workstation, and some for software that is only discounted if you also take their payment processing. A $2,500 bundle and a $349 bundle are not competing offers. Our guide to the dispensary POS bundle breaks the three apart line by line, and dispensary POS hardware cost itemizes each device so you can price a bundle against buying the parts yourself.
Because the price genuinely varies, and because a demo converts better than a rate card. Both things are true at once. A cannabis POS quote moves with store count, register count, delivery vehicles, which modules you enable and whether you take the vendor payment product, so a single published number would be wrong for most buyers. That is the honest half of the answer.
The other half is commercial. A vendor that publishes a price invites you to compare it against a competitor before anyone has spoken to you, and it loses the chance to discover your budget first. Cova and IndicaOnline have each decided the transparency is worth more than that leverage, which is a real differentiator and worth weighing alongside the features.
What this means practically is that you should never treat a quoted vendor refusal to publish as a red flag on its own, and never treat a published price as the final one either. Cova rate card still has an Enterprise tier priced on request. Use the two published cards as a sanity check, then push every quoted vendor for the same written breakdown and the renewal price.
Four things, and only one of them shows up on a feature matrix. The first is what happens during an outage, because a register that cannot sell when the internet drops costs more in one bad afternoon than a year of the price difference between two vendors. Ask each vendor exactly which operations still work offline and how the queued sales reconcile with the state system afterwards.
The second is payment lock-in: whether the software price assumes you take the vendor processor, and what it becomes if you do not. The third is your state track-and-trace integration certified for your specific license type, particularly if you deliver. That is not a formality: New York moved its whole licensed market from BioTrack to Metrc at the end of 2025, and our audit of New York cannabis dispensary POS vendor pages found one still describing the switch as upcoming. The fourth is what leaving looks like, which nobody asks in a sales cycle and everybody wishes they had. Ask whether you can export your full transaction and customer history, in what format, and whether it costs anything.
Hardware is the one place where the comparison is easier than it looks, because most of these systems run on similar equipment and several will let you keep what you have. The register kit, receipt printer, scanner and cash drawer together run a fairly predictable range, and we itemize it in our guide to what a dispensary POS bundle costs per register. If you already run a system and are weighing a move, the sequence and the timing matter more than the vendor: see how to switch dispensary POS systems.
For a single storefront, the deciding factor is usually the total of subscription plus implementation rather than the feature list, because one store rarely uses the enterprise features it is paying for. Cova Boutique at $349 a month with Cova Pay covers up to two workstations, and IndicaOnline Core at $240 a month billed annually covers two register licenses. Those two published numbers are the floor that any quoted vendor has to beat or justify.
For a chain, the meter is what matters. Cova's pricing page lists Powerhouse at up to four workstations on its plan card and unlimited in its comparison table, and which one your contract says changes the arithmetic sharply once you pass four registers in a store. Systems priced per location scale linearly and systems priced per register do not, so the same vendor can be the cheapest option at two stores and the most expensive at eight. Model it at the store count you expect in two years, not the one you have.
For delivery, IndicaOnline is the only vendor here that publishes what the delivery configuration costs, at $600 a month billed annually for its Delivery Pro tier including ten hub courier licenses, with extra couriers at $40 and on-demand couriers at $100. BLAZE and Meadow are the names raised most often for delivery-heavy operations and neither publishes a figure. If you run both a storefront and delivery, price the combined configuration rather than two separate products, because that is where the quotes diverge most.
We do not sell a cannabis POS, resell one, or take a referral fee from any vendor on this page. That is the only reason we can publish the table above in the form it takes, and it is worth saying plainly given what we found about who writes the rest of the comparisons in this category.
What we do sell is the other side of the counter. Your POS handles the sale once a customer is in the store. Getting them there is a separate job, and adults looking for a licensed shop nearby choose between the stores whose menu, hours and deals they can actually see before they drive. A claimed, license-verified listing on Dispensaries is $99 a month, flat, with no referral cut and no per-order fee, and you can list your dispensary in a few minutes.
