Comparison
An ADD Systems alternative sized for independent operators.
ADD Systems has been writing software for the petroleum trade since 1973, and ADD eStore is the c-store piece of a much larger stack that also covers heating oil, propane, HVAC, wholesale petroleum and lubricants distribution, with financials running through Microsoft Dynamics. ADD describes eStore as an enterprise application for multi-store operators. That is a fair description of who it is for. If you run a handful of stores and do not need an enterprise fuel-delivery platform underneath, Neo Office covers the same daily ground with a price on the page.
Enterprise stack or store stack.
ADD describes eStore as an enterprise application for multi-store operators, sitting alongside fuel delivery, wholesale and Dynamics-based financials. If your business is the stores rather than the distribution operation behind them, that is more platform than the job needs.
Pricing on the page, not in a proposal.
ADD does not publish pricing, and its cloud option is positioned as reducing upfront investment, which implies a licence model to reduce. Neo Office lists $19.99, $49.99 and $69.99 per location per month and takes card or ACH through Stripe.
A shorter implementation.
Neo Office onboarding is two moving parts: a connector app on the store's existing back-office PC, and supplier EDI enrolment we help you file. There is no contract term to sign and a 30-day money-back guarantee behind it.
Neo Office and ADD eStore, side by side.
| Neo Office | ADD eStore by ADD Systems | |
|---|---|---|

Neo Office, end to end.
A smaller surface area is the point. Neo Office does the back office for gas stations and c-stores and stops there, which is why the price is a number rather than a proposal.
Priced per location, published.
Regular at $19.99 for price book, Send to POS, sales viewing and basic reports. Plus at $49.99 adds fuel pricing, EDI, finance, lottery, inventory, time clock, Neo AI and workflows. The mobile app is included with every plan. Premium at $69.99 adds POS camera integration and dedicated support.
Two POS systems, done properly.
Gilbarco Passport and Verifone Commander. The connector app on the store PC keeps them in sync both ways, monitors every run, retries failures on its own and keeps a complete send history you can audit.
Distributor EDI, named.
McLane, CoreMark and GSF invoices arrive automatically with line-item detail. Paper invoices go in by photo with OCR. Price mismatches raise alerts and cost changes turn into price-change suggestions.
Fuel pricing built in.
Cash and credit by grade, blended midgrades handled automatically, full change history, and Fuel Survey to see what the stations around you are posting before you commit to a move.
Price book with a phone attached.
Centralised items, push to POS, barcode scanning from the aisle, age-restriction flags, and AI-assisted batch changes that still need a human approval before anything reaches the register.
The rest of the day.
Real-time dashboards, till summaries, day-close, lottery packs and settlements, inventory, time clock, finance, workflows and Neo AI, plus an Offline Sale backup register on mobile when the line goes down.
Questions, answered.
For an independent running stores rather than a fuel distribution business, it is worth a look. ADD Systems has been in the petroleum trade since 1973 and eStore is an enterprise product tied into a broader line covering heating oil, propane, wholesale and Dynamics financials, which is genuinely valuable if you need those pieces. Neo Office does the store back office only, names Gilbarco Passport and Verifone Commander as its POS integrations, publishes its pricing, and runs month-to-month.
