Gizmo 3 vs Senet:
the honest comparison
Senet is a polished cloud platform used in venues across 90+ countries. Gizmo 3 matches the feature set, publishes its prices, keeps working when the internet doesn’t — and Gizmo Premium adds something no dashboard offers: an operations team behind every seat.
Three things decide it
Our price is on the page
Gizmo 3 is $1 per seat per month, support plans $3–$12 — public, in writing. Senet asks you to request a quote.
Offline is not optional
Gizmo 3’s hybrid core keeps sessions, billing and POS running through an internet outage. Cloud-only platforms can’t.
Chat support vs a NOC
Senet answers your questions fast. Gizmo Premium runs your infrastructure: 24/7 monitoring, overnight patching, phone support on Premium.
