PROSALE alternative · honest comparison
PROSALE runs the register. We run the whole sale from your phone.
PROSALE is a real desktop point-of-sale for sales like yours — it has markdown discounting and settlement reports. But it lives on a desktop, it processes the money, and it no longer shows you a price without a demo. If that has you looking, here is the honest comparison.
The moment
A desktop POS that pulled its pricing behind a demo
PROSALE is alive, but it removed public pricing — it is now “personalized pricing” arranged through a demo. Hidden pricing is usually a sales-led drift, not a product renaissance, and it is a fair moment to ask what you are actually signing up for.
On capability, PROSALE is a desktop point-of-sale: barcode scan, photo inventory, quick labels, suggestive pricing, automated incremental discounts (its markdown), settlement reports, integrated payments, and multi-location analytics. What it is not: mobile, offline, AI-drafted, or channel-neutral — it processes the money through its own payment rails.
We invert that: phone-first, the sale day runs offline, the AI drafts the catalog for you to approve, and the money is recorded without ever being touched — Square and cash stay yours.

What to weigh against a desktop POS
- Where you work — PROSALE is desktop point-of-sale; we’re phone-first, walking the house and the sale-day line from your hand.
- Who touches the money — PROSALE has integrated payments; we record the money and never process it, so Square and cash go straight to you.
- Whether you can see the price — PROSALE hides pricing behind a demo; our plans are public and flat, no quote required.
How we fit
- Everything runs on the phone or tablet you already carry — capture, pricing, labels, sale day, settlement.
- The sale day runs offline with mark-sold in two taps; the money stays on your Square or cash, recorded but never processed.
- Close with a consignor settlement statement and export everything free — no demo, no quote, no lock-in.
Side by side
| What matters | PROSALE | TagLot |
|---|---|---|
| Platform | Desktop point-of-sale | iOS, Android, and the web — the same catalog in sync across all three. |
| Offline sale day | Desktop POS — no offline mobile capture | Full offline capture, pricing, and sale day — the core is never gated and runs with zero bars in a dead-WiFi house. |
| Markdown schedules | Yes — automated incremental discounts (a strength) | Automated markdown schedules — set once (25% off day two, 50% day three) and every lookup shows today’s price with the original struck through. |
| Consignor settlement | Yes — settlement reports (a strength) | A consignor settlement statement that reads like a bank statement — sold items, commission, itemized fees, and the net — as a link or PDF. |
| The money | Integrated payments — processes the money | We record the money — we never process it. No card fields, no cut of the sale; Square and cash go straight to you and your consignor. |
| AI cataloging | Suggestive pricing; no AI photo cataloging | AI drafts a title, category, condition, and a suggested price; you review and set the final number before anything counts. |
| Pricing model | Quote-gated — no public price; check their current pricing | Free to start · Starter $59/mo · Pro $99/mo · Team $149/mo — public and flat, never quote-gated |
PROSALE facts verified July 2026 against their public site and materials. Their pricing is demo-gated — we quote no figure. Their current numbers may differ — always check their own site. We never invent a competitor claim: rows we can't verify say “check their current…”, not a made-up figure.
What PROSALE does well
PROSALE is a mature desktop POS with genuinely useful pieces — automated incremental markdowns, settlement reports, integrated payments, and multi-location analytics. For a fixed-location operation that wants a full register, it is a real tool.
The part that doesn't fit in a table
TagLot runs on promises we build into the product — marketing claims that are also product constraints, so a price change or a repackage can't quietly walk them back:
- No per-item fees, ever.
- We never touch the money.
- Export everything, free, forever.
- The price you join at is yours.
- Offline is the core, never gated.
When PROSALE is still the right call
You run from a fixed location, want a desktop register with integrated card processing built in, and prefer one vendor to handle payments end to end. That is PROSALE’s shape. We’re for the mobile operator who works house to house, keeps their own payment rails, and wants the money recorded — not processed.
