Pasok or Kelola for your shop?
Both record stock and sales, and Kelola is already used by many traders. The difference shows up in three things that define a grocery shop or wholesaler: selling by the box, giving credit, and still serving customers when the signal drops. Here are the figures, including what Kelola does better.
- Figures checked 9 November 2026
- Not affiliated with Kelola
- Both prices can change
The headline price, and what you actually pay
Kelola's cheapest paid plan caps you at 500 products and excludes wholesale pricing. For a grocery shop both limits are easily passed, so an honest comparison uses the plan that is genuinely enough to run a shop.
Kelola also sells a weekly Basic plan at Rp29,000, the cheapest way in if you only want to try it for a week or two. Pasok has no weekly plan. The Pasok prices above are still introductory and may change at the official launch.
What differs once the shop gets busy
Kelola presents itself as a stock tracking app with a till attached. Pasok was built around how shops sell: one product in several units, buyers on different price levels, and credit that has to be collected.
The Kelola column is taken from their own features page, pricing page and help centre on 9 November 2026. If something has changed since, tell us on WhatsApp and we will correct this page.
What Kelola does better
A comparison page that only praises itself is no help when you are deciding. These are the things we should fairly admit.
It is on Google Play and the App Store
Kelola has Android and iOS apps you can install from the official stores, rated 4.7 from more than nine thousand reviews. Pasok runs in the browser on a phone, tablet or laptop, so there is nothing to install, but it is also not in the app stores yet.
A shareable catalogue with WhatsApp orders
Kelola customers can open a product catalogue in a browser, add items to a cart, and send the order as a WhatsApp message. Pasok does not have this.
Stock transfers between locations
Kelola records every stock movement between locations, with who moved it and when. In Pasok, branches are capped per plan: 1 on free, 2 on Pro, 10 on Bisnis.
A cheaper way in
If you carry fewer than 500 products and you do not need wholesale prices, dated customer credit or cashier shifts, their Basic plan is enough: Rp39,000 a month billed annually, or Rp52,000 monthly, both cheaper than Pasok Pro.
We also do not use their customers' bad reviews as sales material on this page. If you want to judge for yourself, read the reviews of both apps on Google Play.
Free stays free
What shop owners fear most in a subscription app is a shop that suddenly stops working. So there are no surprises, here is what we promise on pricing.
After the trial you drop to the free plan
The 14-day Pro trial ends on a free plan you can keep using, not on a locked shop. The products you have entered stay open to you.
Wholesale pricing is not a luxury
Box units and wholesale prices are there from the free plan, because that is how grocery shops sell. It is not an add-on for large businesses.
Your shop data stays yours
No contract, stop whenever you like. Payment is only by transfer to an account held by PT Pinisi Teknologi Nusantara, and we never ask you to transfer to a personal account.
There are people here
Pinisi Labs has a listed office address in Makassar and a WhatsApp number answered by a person. If you need help entering your first products, we will help.
Fair questions to ask
I already use Kelola. Can I move without retyping every product?
Yes, as long as your Kelola subscription is still active: download your products and stock to Excel, then import that file into Pasok. Packaged product names also fill in by themselves when you scan the barcode. If there is a lot of data, or the export will not run, send us what you have on WhatsApp and we will help tidy it up.
Why is Pasok not on Google Play?
Pasok runs in the browser, so there is nothing to install, it takes up no phone storage, and you are always on the latest version. Open pasok.pinisilabs.com on your phone and add it to your home screen to open it like any other app. For now that does mean you will not find Pasok by searching the app stores.
If the internet goes down, does the till really keep working?
It does. Offline, the till can keep selling, open and close shifts, and record credit sales, incoming stock and damaged goods for up to 30 days. Everything is stored on the device and syncs automatically once you reconnect. The first sign-in, reports and settings still need a connection.
Is this comparison fair?
We try to be. Kelola's prices and feature notes come from their own pages on 9 November 2026, there is a section on what they do better, and we do not quote their customers' bad reviews. We are not affiliated with Kelola. The honest way to decide is still to try both: the Pasok demo is open without sign-up, and Kelola has a free plan.
My shop is small. Is Pasok too much?
Start on the free plan: till, barcode scanning, stock, box units and wholesale prices, with 300 transactions a month. Move up to Pro when you start needing customer credit, shifts, stock counts and a team.
The fastest way to judge two apps
Open the till, add one product, sell one box
The Pasok demo is open without an account, using sample grocery shop data. Try selling by the packet and then by the box, record one credit sale, and look at the report. Decide after that.
Kelola's prices and features on this page were checked on 9 November 2026 from kelola.co, their pricing and features pages, their help centre at help.kelola.co, and the in-app purchase list on the Indonesian App Store. Prices for both apps can change at any time, so please check for yourself before deciding. Pasok is a product of PT Pinisi Teknologi Nusantara and is not affiliated with Kelola.
