Receipts and payments
Both apps create receipts and register them with the State Tax Service. Checkbox sends them by Viber, SMS or email and lets you take card payments right on the smartphone instead of a bank terminal. Vchasno.Kasa sends them by email, Viber, Telegram or QR code, takes card or cash, handles returns and records cash in and out of the till.
Goods, catalogue and excise
Vchasno.Kasa is built around a catalogue: you find goods and services by category or name, can change a price in the receipt, and enter the excise stamp code when you sell excise goods. Checkbox does not describe a catalogue or excise stamps in its listing; it stresses that the mobile app is a full PRRO on par with desktop and online tills.
Reports, shifts and support
Checkbox files reports to the tax service straight from the Checkbox account, adds analytics and keeps working offline if the internet drops. Its support works from 07:00 to 23:00. Vchasno.Kasa builds an X-report, shows Z-reports and receipts, and closes the shift with one tap with an automatic Z-report. You register the till, outlet and cashier in its web account, and support answers Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 18:00.
Verdict
Pick Checkbox when you take cards on the phone, work where the connection drops, or want reports and analytics in one account with long support hours. Pick Vchasno.Kasa when you sell from a catalogue, deal with excise goods or want receipts by Telegram and QR. For other options, including the free app from the tax service, see PRRO apps.
