CannAgent vs POSaBIT.

Payments-first cannabis platform that grew into a POS — the dominant cashless-payments processor in the vertical, now bundling its own register.

Pricing — operator-reported

What lands on the bill.

CannAgent

Monthly$240–600 / store / mo
Setup$4k–16k cutover (fixed scope, quoted from your workflow)
Per-transactionNone
ContractMonth-to-month. No multi-year.

POSaBIT

Monthly$300–800 / location / mo (POS license; payments bundled)
Setup$0–2k onboarding
Per-transactionPayments are the revenue model — closed-loop / PIN debit ~$0.85–$1.50 per transaction (operator-reported); ACH PIN debit lower.
ContractAnnual common; month-to-month available with payments lock

Honest read

What POSaBIT is genuinely good at — and where operators feel pain.

Strengths

✓Largest cashless-payments installed base in cannabis — the network effect on payments rails is real (ACH PIN debit + closed-loop wallet integrations)
✓Public-company financial transparency (POSAF) — operators can audit the vendor's runway in a way most cannabis-tech vendors don't allow
✓Payments-and-POS bundle simplifies vendor count for operators who hate stitching processors and registers separately

Where operators feel pain

•POS came after payments — the register is younger than the payments rail it sits on; back-office breadth (payroll filings, write-ups, hiring pipeline) is bolt-on or out-of-scope
•Per-transaction pricing on cashless rails compounds — a $1 fee × 10k cart-events/mo = $10k/store/mo operators-report-discovering-at-year-two
•Compliance is documented, not enforced — WAC re-verifies, waste-log signatures, vendor-license lapses sit on the operator the same way Dutchie does
•Cannabis-payments dominance means switching cost is concentrated on the payments side; the POS feature set is differentiated less than the payments rail

Single-shop or small-chain operators whose primary procurement decision is the cashless-payments rail (PIN debit / closed-loop / ACH) and who accept the bundled POS as the trade.

If you’re stuck on POSaBIT and want to switch

Migration from POSaBITis a fixed-scope cutover quoted from your shop’s actual workflow. Two to four weeks for a single location. Three days of on-floor support during the first week. 90-day satisfaction window — if it doesn’t land, we refund the setup fee and you keep your data exports.

01Data extract from POSaBIT — products, customers, transactions, employees, vendor records.
02Per-location Postgres provisioned. Schema mapped. Pilot register stood up in parallel.
03Cutover overnight — last close on POSaBIT Sunday, first open on CannAgent Monday. Three days of on-floor support.

30 minutes. Three real surfaces. A fixed-scope quote.

We walk a register transaction with a vertical-ID gate, a manager write-up against the WA labor rubric, and a Form 941 from the back office. We end by quoting your cutover from POSaBIT.
