Buyer's guide
Wafeq is a well-built accounting and e-invoicing tool that many Saudi businesses rely on. But if you also run a shop, warehouse or online store, you may be tired of bolting a separate till and stock system onto your books. This guide compares Wafeq and Tallium fairly, and tells you plainly who should switch and who should stay.
Key takeaways
Wafeq is a Saudi-focused accounting platform with strong ZATCA e-invoicing and clean bookkeeping that accountants trust. Tallium takes a wider angle: one system where your POS, inventory, online store and accounting share the same data, priced per unit in USD.
| Feature | Tallium | Wafeq |
|---|---|---|
| Core accounting & bookkeeping | Full double-entry accounting, expenses, receipt scanning and reports in every plan | Strong, purpose-built accounting — a core strength of the product |
| VAT & ZATCA VAT return support | VAT tracking built in to help you prepare your ZATCA VAT return | Well-established VAT handling designed around Saudi requirements |
| FATOORAH e-invoicing | E-invoicing support for the FATOORAH framework across your sales | Mature, ZATCA-integrated FATOORAH e-invoicing — one of its best features |
| Point of sale (POS) | Built-in POS for counters, cafes and shops, tied to the same ledger | Not a native POS — typically needs a separate till system |
| Inventory & stock control | Real-time inventory across products, with low-stock and cost tracking | Basic item tracking; not a full inventory system |
| Warehouse & multi-location | Warehouse and multi-location modules for stock across sites | Not a focus of the product |
| E-commerce / online store | Online store module so web orders flow into stock and books | No native online storefront |
| One connected system | POS, inventory, e-commerce and accounting share one dataset — no syncing | Accounting-first; sales and stock tools live in other apps you connect |
| Pricing | Per-unit USD monthly: shop $79, online store $159, warehouse $99, factory $269; billed monthly, cancel anytime | Tiered SAR subscription plans; check Wafeq for current pricing |
| Free trial | No free trial — paid from signup, cancel anytime | Offers trial/free options — check current terms with Wafeq |
The honest verdict
If your business is mostly bookkeeping and invoicing handled by you or your accountant, Wafeq is an excellent, focused choice and there's little reason to leave it. Switch to Tallium if you sell across a counter, a warehouse or a website and are tired of stitching a POS and stock app onto your accounting — Tallium puts all of that in one place. Both keep your VAT and FATOORAH e-invoicing in order for Saudi Arabia.
