If I’m being entirely honest, SumUp kind of reminds me of Square’s sophisticated European cousin who’s come to the US to stay. Lean, sleek, and refined, standing in contrast to Square’s large, colorful profile. But in the end, they’re both family — and by that, I mean they’re both mobile POS apps that let almost anyone take payments anywhere they can get data or Wi-Fi.
It’s fair to say that Square has a LOT more on its plate lately, with its retail-focused app and several add-on services. But if you’re just looking at their mobile processing — a way to take payments on a smartphone or a tablet — which is the better option? I’m here to take a look at Square vs. SumUp to see how they stack up.
