Square for Retail has a free tier, with Plus at $49 a month per location and Premium at $149. The subscription buys lower card rates rather than only features: Plus takes in-person to 2.5% + $0.15 and online to 2.9% + $0.30, and Premium takes in-person to 2.4% + $0.15. That makes the plan decision arithmetic rather than preference — compute your card volume against the rate difference and the subscription pays for itself above a calculable turnover, which is roughly where most multi-location retailers sit.
