MediPOS vs Mint POS: which is better for a pharmacy in 2026?

MediPOS vs Mint POS is a question many medical store owners ask, because both are Pakistani POS software, both keep billing when the internet or the power goes, and both print FBR invoices with a QR code. The difference is who each one is built for. Mint POS is a retail POS: its own home page says it is "Trusted by Clothing Brands & Retail Chains", with a separate page for pharmacies. MediPOS is built for pharmacies and medical stores and nothing else. For a pharmacy owner, that difference shows up in money: what you pay each month, what expires on the shelf, what a 10+1 scheme really costs, how much udhaar is outstanding, and how easily you can see all of it from your phone.

This comparison takes Mint POS's prices and features from its own website, mintpos.pk, checked on 27 September 2026, and MediPOS's from our pricing page, with the prices that apply from 28 September 2026.

The short answer

For a pharmacy, MediPOS is the better buy:

• One counter, paid monthly: MediPOS Rs 2,375 a month, Mint POS Rs 3,499 a month. You keep Rs 1,124 every month.
• One shop on its own PC: MediPOS Offline Rs 23,750 one payment, for life. Mint POS Solo Rs 29,988 every year. You keep Rs 6,238 in the first year, and the whole Rs 29,988 every year after that.
• Your shop on your phone: the MediPOS Android app comes with every Cloud plan, from Basic at Rs 2,375 a month, and it bills at the counter too. Mint POS's phone app starts with its Zanjeer plan at Rs 8,999 a month for one branch. You keep Rs 6,624 every month.
• Two branches with the phone app: MediPOS Standard on Cloud Rs 52,500 a year for up to three branches, Mint POS Rs 167,976 a year for two. You keep over Rs 1 lakh a year.
• Medicines ready on day one: MediPOS comes with 80,000+ Pakistani medicines from the DRAP register. Mint POS's website mentions no medicine list.
• Free trial: 14 days with MediPOS, phone app included, against 7 days with Mint POS. Neither asks for a card.

The rest of this guide shows the numbers and the pharmacy features behind them.

Your pharmacy in your pocket: the MediPOS app

An owner cannot stand behind every counter all day. The MediPOS app for Android puts the whole pharmacy on a phone, not only a view of it:

• Bill at the counter: search by brand or generic, or scan the barcode with the phone camera. Sell by box, strip or tablet, with the nearest-expiry batch first, give discounts, and print the receipt on a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi thermal printer.
• Today on Home: net sales, bills, profit and udhaar, with the change against yesterday, and the last 30 days on a chart. With a plan that has several branches, Home shows all branches together.
• Udhaar: each customer's khata, payments received, follow-ups and promises to pay.
• Purchases and stock: distributor purchase bills and purchase returns, Add & stock from the medicine database, stock counts with the camera, adjustments, stock transfers and expiry.
• Money: cash shifts, expenses, accounts, the cash book and the day book.
• Staff, reports, the inspection pack and alerts.

What each person can do in the app follows your plan's modules and their role, the same as on the PC. The app opens with your fingerprint, face or phone PIN, and udhaar screens stay out of screenshots. A shared counter phone works with each staff member's own PIN. The app works with the Cloud edition, so it works from anywhere with internet; the Offline edition keeps your figures on your shop PC and does not use the app.

The app comes with every MediPOS Cloud plan, from Basic at Rs 2,375 a month, including the 14-day free trial, so you can try it from your first day. You download it from medipos.pk/download. It is not on Google Play yet, and there is no iPhone app yet.

Mint POS's phone app ("Live sales on mobile app (iOS + Android)") comes with its Zanjeer plan for branches and its custom plan. Its Solo plan for one counter does not include it. A one-shop owner who wants the app on Mint POS pays the Zanjeer price: Rs 8,999 a month, or Rs 6,999 a month billed annually, for each branch.

Price in PKR: what you actually pay

Mint POS has two published plans. Solo is for one counter: Rs 2,499 a month billed annually, or Rs 3,499 month to month. Zanjeer is for branches: Rs 6,999 per branch a month billed annually, or Rs 8,999 month to month, with a custom quote for three or more branches.

MediPOS Basic is Rs 2,375 a month or Rs 23,750 a year on Cloud. As an Offline licence on your own PC it is Rs 23,750 once, for life, with updates included and no yearly fee. Standard adds the balance sheet, custom roles and the audit log, and runs up to three branches for one price: Rs 5,250 a month or Rs 52,500 a year on Cloud. Every Cloud plan, Basic too, includes the Android app; the Offline edition does not use it. On Offline, Standard is Rs 38,000 once, for one shop, and moving up from Offline Basic later costs only the difference, Rs 14,250.

Mint POS's yearly figures are its monthly prices times twelve: Rs 2,499 × 12 for Solo, and Rs 6,999 × 12 for each Zanjeer branch. MediPOS Offline is paid once, so from the second year it costs nothing more, while Mint POS is paid again every year. MediPOS Offline Basic also covers two PCs, the main PC and one counter PC on the shop network, and Standard covers five.

The branch price is where the gap is widest. Mint POS charges for every branch, so a second shop doubles the bill. MediPOS Standard is one price for up to three branches, so your second and third shop cost nothing extra.

Built for every shop, or built for a pharmacy

A clothing shop sells a shirt. A pharmacy sells a batch: a strip of Augmentin 625 with its own number, expiry, cost and scheme from the distributor. Software made for retail in general can record a batch number. Software made for pharmacies uses it at every step, from the purchase bill to the counter to the return to the distributor.

That is the whole idea of MediPOS. Every screen assumes a medical store: medicines with generic and strength, box, strip and tablet prices, expiry on every purchase, udhaar customers and distributor balances. Nothing has to be bent to fit.

80,000+ medicines, ready on day one

MediPOS comes with 80,000+ Pakistani medicines from the DRAP register, each with its brand, generic, strength, form and manufacturer. Search by brand, generic, company or barcode, and add a medicine to your products with its units ready. Read more on the Pakistan medicine database page.

Mint POS's website does not mention a preloaded medicine list. A pharmacy stocks thousands of items, so without one, every medicine goes in by hand or from your own spreadsheet before you can sell it.

Expiry: a warning, or a stop at the counter

Mint POS's pharmacy page says it records batch numbers and flags medicines expiring within 30, 60 or 90 days on its dashboard. A warning works only if someone reads it in time.

MediPOS acts on expiry at every step:

• The expiry screen shows expired stock and stock expiring within 7, 30, 60 or 90 days, with its value at cost, so you know how much money is at risk. On the Cloud edition the MediPOS app shows the same on your phone.
• At the counter, MediPOS sells the earliest expiry batch first (FEFO), so old stock leaves before new stock.
• Expired stock is blocked from sale, and you can block stock close to expiry too, so it never reaches a customer by mistake.
• Near-expiry stock goes back to the distributor by batch for a credit against your bills, and any shortfall is booked as a stock loss.

Mint POS's website does not mention selling the earliest expiry first or blocking expired stock at the counter. See FEFO vs FIFO in a pharmacy for why the order of sale matters.

Distributor schemes and your real profit

Pharmacy margins live in the purchase bill. With a 10+1 bonus, a trade discount, sales tax and freight on one bill, the price printed on the invoice is not what each strip cost you.

In MediPOS, you enter the distributor's bill with batch, expiry, TP and the scheme, and MediPOS spreads bonus units, discounts, tax and freight into the landed cost of each medicine. Your profit reports, and the profit on your phone, use that cost, so the margin you see is the margin you made. The maths is in pharmacy bonus schemes.

Mint POS's website lists purchases and inventory but does not mention bonus schemes or landed cost.

Udhaar with limits, and a supervisor PIN

Most medical stores sell on credit to regular customers. MediPOS keeps a digital khata: every customer has a credit limit, credit sales post to their account at the counter, and payments come off it. When a cashier goes over a customer's limit, gives a bigger discount, changes a price, voids a bill or takes a return without the bill, MediPOS asks for a supervisor's PIN. From the MediPOS app you see who owes what, take payments and note follow-ups and promises to pay. See udhaar management.

Mint POS's website does not mention customer credit limits or supervisor approval.

Books, from cash book to balance sheet

Every MediPOS sale, purchase, payment and expense posts to the books as it happens. Basic includes the cash book (counter cash, bank, EasyPaisa and JazzCash with a running balance), the day book, profit and loss, and money transfers between accounts. Standard adds the balance sheet and trial balance. There is no separate accounting program to keep up.

Mint POS's website mentions inventory, purchases and a ledger.

Offline, FBR, backups and updates

Both work without internet, and both print FBR invoices with a QR code.

MediPOS Offline runs on the shop PC, and counter PCs connect to it over the shop network, so billing carries on when the line is down. FBR POS integration is included in every MediPOS plan, Basic too: each invoice, void and return is reported to FBR through its online API or the Fiscal Component. Receipts print straight to a 58, 76 or 80 mm thermal printer with no print window, and the cash drawer opens on cash bills. See FBR POS integration for pharmacy.

Your data is looked after without anyone remembering to do it. MediPOS backs the shop PC up every night, at every cash-shift close and before every update, and checks each copy. The hourly cloud backup add-on (Rs 5,000 a year) also sends an encrypted copy off the PC every hour, so a dead disk loses at most an hour, where Mint POS lists a daily cloud backup. Updates install themselves with a backup taken first, and if anything goes wrong MediPOS puts the previous version back on its own.

Side by side

Moving from Mint POS or any other software

Switching does not mean typing your shop in again. MediPOS imports your medicine list, opening stock, udhaar customers and distributor balances from Excel CSV files, and checks every row before anything is saved. Export what you have from your current software to Excel, then follow importing your data. Anything you add later can be picked from the 80,000+ medicines instead of typed.
