Comparison

Teya vs SumUp

Both popular with smaller UK businesses, but built for different use cases. Teya targets owners who want a managed package with software. SumUp targets sole traders who want pay-as-you-go simplicity.

Pricing

Pay-as-you-go is usually cheapest at low turnover. A blended monthly package can be cheaper once turnover is consistent.

Contracts

SumUp's core offering is contract-free. Teya packages may include a minimum term.

Suitability

Choose by turnover and use case - sole trader vs. established small business - rather than headline rate.
