Vori is a YC-backed grocery POS and back-office platform that bundles smart pricing, vendor ordering, and loyalty marketing for independent grocers.
Markt POS is purpose-built for neighborhood markets, international grocers, butcher shops, and specialty food stores that need grocery-specific tools on day one.
Here's a full breakdown of how they compare.
Last updated: April 2026
Vori's discounted price of $250 per lane per month sounds manageable until you really do the math. For a 3-lane setup:
That's $7,800 before you process a single transaction. At list price with hardware: $26,050 upfront. Even at full discount on hardware, you're still paying $7,800 to go live and $750/month ongoing — plus 2.7% + $0.10 on every card transaction.
Markt POS starts at $49/month and includes scales, EBT, eWIC, loyalty, e-commerce, self-checkout, and 24/7 support. Onsite hardware installation is available at $300/lane if you want it. No surprise line items.

Getting locked into an agreement with escalating rates limits your flexibility and can cost you if the system isn't the right fit.
Cloud-based software lets you access your store from anywhere, at any time.
Selling by weight is a daily reality in markets — your POS needs to handle it natively.
Self-checkout lanes reduce labor costs and keep lines moving during peak hours.
An online store synced with in-store inventory can expand your reach and give customers a way to order for pickup or delivery.
Migrating to a new POS means moving thousands of SKUs, configuring departments, and training staff. How much of that your new provider handles for you can make or break the switch.
Real-time inventory tracking keeps shelves stocked and shrinkage visible.
Built-in loyalty and SMS marketing programs bring customers back and increase basket size.
Accurate, professional labels keep your shelves organized and your pricing transparent.
Electronic shelf labels eliminate manual relabeling by pushing price changes from your back office directly to the shelf.
If your state requires bottle deposits, your POS should handle them without workarounds.
Wholesaler integration connects your POS directly to your distributors, automatically pulling in price updates, suggested order quantities, and promotional deals.
Automated invoice processing reduces manual data entry and catches cost discrepancies before they reach your margins.
Selling age-restricted products requires reliable ID checks at the register.
Dual pricing lets you offer a lower price for cash customers while the standard price applies to card payments.

Vori's onboarding is hands-on — their operations team visits your location, handles installation, and trains your staff on go-live day, with kickoff calls in the weeks prior to configure products and vendors.
It's white-glove service, and it's priced accordingly at $7,800+ in one-time costs.
Post-launch support runs 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM PT on weekdays and 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM PT on weekends, with AI chat at help.vori.com available after hours.
Markt POS handles inventory import, department configuration, scale setup, and staff training as part of onboarding — included on all plans, no separate line item.
Support is 24/7 by phone, in-house, not through resellers or a ticketing queue.
Unlimited training is available whenever you need it, and onsite hardware installation can be added for $300 per lane.
