Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: OmniPOS at 100% against Square's 34%. OmniPOS also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and device support (3 vs 1). Square's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
