Comparison
Global platforms are broad. We're local and deep.
Large global POS platforms cover a lot of ground in a lot of countries. MyBookingApp covers one market properly — Australian GST, eftpos, surcharging caps and the way local service businesses actually trade.
- AU-first compliance
- Local support hours
- No add-on maze
Be honest
When a global platform wins
Scale and breadth are real advantages, and we'd rather you chose correctly than churn in three months.
- You trade in several countries and need one system across all of them
- You depend on a specific third-party app in their marketplace
- You need a niche vertical feature we haven't built yet
When we win
One country, done properly
Australian compliance isn't a checkbox for us — it's the design constraint the whole system was built around.
- Sequential, immutable tax invoices with your ABN by default
- Surcharging capped at your genuine cost of acceptance
- Bookings and retail in one plan, not two subscriptions
- Support that's awake when your shop is open
