Software Advice lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. Users can talk to our advisors for free to receive software recommendations matching their needs. Software providers pay us for sponsored profiles to reach users interested in their products.
Software Advice carefully verified over 2 million reviews to bring you authentic software experiences from real users. Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.
Researchers at Software Advice use a mix of verified reviews, independent research, and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or talk to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.
Lightspeed Retail vs Windward System Five: Which is best for you?

per month
per month
and Demo
Features
- What drew me to Lightspeed was that I was told by the sales representative that we did not have to use their credit card processing service and we could continue to process with our currents provider.
- I want to share my experience with Lightspeed POS, which has been disappointing and frustrating from the start. When I first signed up, I was assured by our sales representative that we could use our own credit card processor and that Lightspeed would only charge a monthly subscription fee of $246.66.
- My overall experience was positive, and still is to some extent, though we largely use System Five as a database for older customer information now.
- Very difficult to move away from - their database structure is as well thought out as a dump truck full of spaghetti.
