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

MediPOS vs Mint POS is a common question from medical store owners, because both are Pakistani POS software, both keep billing without internet, 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 only for pharmacies and medical stores. For a pharmacy, that difference shows up in money: what you pay each month, what expires on the shelf, what a 10+1 scheme really costs and how much udhaar is outstanding.

This comparison takes Mint POS's prices and features from its own website, mintpos.pk, checked on 26 September 2026, and MediPOS's from our pricing page.

The short answer

For a pharmacy, MediPOS is the better buy:

• One counter, paid monthly: MediPOS Rs 2,500 a month, Mint POS Rs 3,499 a month. You save Rs 999 every month.
• One shop, paid for the year: MediPOS Offline Rs 12,000 a year, Mint POS Rs 29,988 a year. You save Rs 17,988.
• Two branches: MediPOS Rs 5,500 a month for up to three branches, Mint POS Rs 13,998 a month for two (billed annually). You save over Rs 1 lakh a year.
• Medicines ready on day one: MediPOS comes with 45,000+ Pakistani medicines from the DRAP register. Mint POS's website mentions no medicine list.
• Free trial: 14 days with MediPOS, 7 days with Mint POS. Neither asks for a card.

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

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 2,500 a month or Rs 25,000 a year on Cloud, and Rs 12,000 a year (or Rs 30,000 for three years) as an Offline licence on your own PC. Standard runs up to three branches for one price: Rs 5,500 a month or Rs 55,000 a year.

Mint POS's yearly figures are its monthly prices times twelve: Rs 2,499 × 12 for Solo, and Rs 6,999 × 2 branches × 12 for Zanjeer. The Offline Basic licence also covers two PCs, the main PC and one counter PC on the shop network, where Mint POS's Solo plan is one counter.

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.

45,000+ medicines, ready on day one

MediPOS comes with 45,000+ 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. Ask about this before you buy any pharmacy software.

Expiry: a warning, or a stop at the counter

Mint POS's pharmacy page says it flags stock expiring in 30, 60 and 90 days. That is useful, but a warning works only if someone reads it in time.

MediPOS goes further, from the purchase to the counter:

• The expiry dashboard shows expired stock and stock expiring in 7, 30, 60 or 90 days, with its value at cost, so you know how much money is at risk.
• At the counter, MediPOS sells the earliest expiry batch first (FEFO), so old stock leaves before new stock.
• Expired and near-expiry stock is blocked from sale, 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 FEFO 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 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. 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 and printing

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, for retailers who must integrate: each invoice, void and return is reported to FBR through its online API or the Fiscal Component. The Offline edition prints receipts straight to a 58, 76 or 80 mm thermal printer with no print window, and opens the cash drawer on cash bills. See FBR POS integration for pharmacy.

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 45,000+ medicines instead of typed.
