Hiboutik and digabloPos: introducing both solutions
This is a detailed review and price comparison of Hiboutik and digabloPos with 2026 pricing for both. Hiboutik is a French POS software launched in 2013, NF525-certified by LNE. It offers a free Standard plan (all POS operations, daily Z ticket), a Pro plan at €9.90/month excl. tax, and a Premium plan at €12.90/month excl. tax which unlocks the dashboard, advanced reports, customer credit, kitchen screen, and API. For each additional till at the same point of sale, you must add the multi-till option at €11.90/month excl. tax. Hiboutik offers 2 free months on annual subscription.
digabloPos is a more recent NF525-certified POS, designed around a modular model: forever-free plan (unlimited orders, 2 employees, floor plan, thermal printing, offline mode), with optional modules billed in USD (advanced reports $20/month, stock management $15/month, additional employees $5/month each, reservations $10/month, etc.). Designed for restaurants, retailers and services in France and French-speaking Africa (native FCFA multi-currency).
Both are NF525-certified. The choice comes down to UX, specific features, and total cost depending on your activity.

Price comparison: total 1-year cost
Scenario 1: independent shop, 1 till, 1 employee - Hiboutik: free Standard suffices → €0/year. - digabloPos: free plan suffices → $0/year. - Tie on minimum needs.
Scenario 2: shop with detailed reports and 2 tills - Hiboutik: Premium €12.90/month + multi-till €11.90/month = €24.80/month excl. tax → €297/year excl. tax. - digabloPos: reports module $20/month → $240/year (~€220/year). - digabloPos saves about €77/year.
Scenario 3: restaurant with floor plan, 3 employees, advanced reports - Hiboutik: Premium needed for reports + non-native floor plan (manual workaround) = €12.90/month → €155/year excl. tax, but without truly integrated floor plan. - digabloPos: free plan + 1 extra employee ($5/month) + reports module ($20/month) = $25/month → $300/year (~€275/year). - Hiboutik cheaper on the surface, but without native floor plan. For a restaurant, digabloPos fits better functionally even if slightly pricier.
Scenario 4: multi-establishments (3 stores) with consolidation - Hiboutik: Premium × 3 + multi-till × 3 + Enterprise on quote (from €50-100/month depending on volume) → €800-1,500/year excl. tax estimated. - digabloPos: enterprise modules + 5 employees + advanced reports = $80-100/month → $960-1,200/year (~€880-1,100/year). - Comparable, evaluate case by case.
Hiboutik is cheaper for simple profiles (shop with 1-2 tills, no complex reports), digabloPos is more complete in its free plan and more relevant for restaurants and French-speaking Africa.
