Hiboutik

Zagareli SA CH

Hiboutik is a browser based retail till from a Swiss company that gives away an unusually complete free plan, with no limit on users, tills or hardware. It is explicitly a 100 percent online cash register, so a dropped connection stops the sale.

Best for

Small independent retailers and bakeries that want stock, invoices and loyalty for nothing and already have a laptop or tablet

Strengths / Weaknesses

Strengths

  • The free plan includes stock, invoices, variants, loyalty points, label printing, a daily Z, table and floor plan management and a built in web shop
  • Premium is 16.90 EUR a month for the whole account, no matter how many users or tills
  • Extra shops are 12.90 EUR a month each, with shared catalogue, transfers and shared loyalty
  • Runs in any browser on hardware you already own, no contract and no automatic renewal
  • Dedicated Belgian and Dutch country sites, with a Brussels phone line

Weaknesses

  • No offline mode at all, the vendor calls it a 100 percent online cash register
  • Split bills, the kitchen screen, the monthly Z and the accounting export are Premium only
  • No Luxembourg country page, although the sign up form accepts Luxembourg and euro
  • The homepage claims an NF525 certificate while the document the vendor publishes is a July 2025 proof of commitment to certification, with no certificate number anywhere
  • No German TSE and no Belgian black box support is mentioned on any of its country sites
  • Support is in French, English and Spanish only

Verdict

For a shop counter on a budget, Hiboutik is the best free deal in this field and it is not close. The free tier is a real till, not a demo, and the Premium price is a rounding error next to a per terminal subscription. Two things should stop a restaurant from signing: there is no offline mode, which is a hard no for a dining room on a weak line, and the compliance story needs checking. If the French certificate matters to you, ask Hiboutik for the certificate PDF with a number and a date before you commit.
