Take App vs Qiscus Shop
Qiscus Shop does what we do: a catalog, a checkout and a payment inside the chat, with orders landing in one dashboard. The difference is who it's sold to. It is an add-on to an enterprise omnichannel plan priced by agents and monthly active users; Take App is sold to the person running the shop.

PaypalShort answer
Qiscus Shop is the better fit for a company that already needs the omnichannel platform underneath it — a support team on 20-plus channels, a helpdesk, a call centre, custom integrations. Take App is the better fit for the shop itself: the same catalog-and-checkout-in-chat, from a free plan to $50 a month, with no agent seats or monthly-active-user meter to budget for.
Why businesses pick Take App
Start free and pay $50 a month — no agent seats, no monthly-active-user meter, no add-on to unlock the shop.
Sign up and be selling the same afternoon, without a demo call or a contract.
Dine-in QR ordering, a POS and delivery slots come in the same plan as the chat ordering.

The rows are what chat-first businesses ask us about most. Where Qiscus Shop covers something through a paid add-on, or only in some countries, the cell says so instead of a cross.

How we compared
Qiscus Shop plan prices and features were checked on August 29, 2026 against the pages linked below. Prices change and vary by country, so confirm with Qiscus Shop before deciding. Take App's own plan details come from our pricing page.
Built for the market you actually sell in
100+ payment methods and local couriers across 180+ countries — the wallets, bank transfers, and cash on delivery your customers already use, not just cards.
Where Qiscus Shop draws the line
Qiscus is Indonesian and the integrations show it: Midtrans and Xendit behind the checkout, local couriers, order updates pushed back into the chat. Take App covers the same market from the other end — 100+ payment methods across 180+ countries, including transfer with a receipt the customer uploads for you to approve.
Why WhatsApp, and not email
Across Southeast Asia, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East, a customer messages a shop long before they would open an email. Take App puts the order form, the payment reminder, the delivery update and the follow-up in that same thread — so nothing waits on an inbox nobody checks.
