What does Blink actually cost over a year?

The headline price is rarely the year-one price once add-ons, transaction fees and your own hours are counted. The table above is our attempt at the full figure — check it against a written quote from them.

Is MatjarX better than Blink?

For a small business in Pakistan or the Gulf that wants the site built for them and looked after, we think so, and this page says where Blink is the better answer instead. If you want to build and maintain it yourself, a platform like theirs may suit you better, and we would rather tell you that now.

Am I locked in if I switch?

No. No long-term contract, the domain stays registered in your name, and you can take your content with you. Cancel with 30 days’ notice.

How long does the switch take?

Seven days from the day you complete the questionnaire, same as any build. We keep your Blink site live the whole time and only point the domain across once you have seen and approved the new one.

Honest comparison

MatjarX vs Blink

Blink is a POS system. It manages orders in your store or on your phone.

That's also its limitation. Blink is designed for in-person retail. If you want to sell online, rank in Google, and build a brand, Blink leaves you stranded.

MatjarX is Blink + your own website + SEO ranking + marketing team—all together.

Why MatjarX wins

Against Blink, here’s what actually changes

You sell online AND in-store. Blink is just in-store. MatjarX covers both. Online sales = no rent, no staff required. Pure profit.

You rank in Google. Blink users are invisible in search. MatjarX stores rank for local keywords. New customers find you on Google.

You own customer relationships. Blink traps customer data. MatjarX gives you 100% access to emails, phones, buying history. Email past customers about sales, new products, loyalty programs.

Your growth isn't limited by app. Blink is an app. MatjarX is a platform that includes app + website + marketing + SEO. Bigger opportunity. Bigger revenue potential.

Example: A gift shop in Islamabad:

Blink approach: - Blink POS: PKR 3,500/month - Limited online (no real e-commerce) - Google Ads for traffic: PKR 15,000/month - Manual social media: PKR 0 (DIY) - No email marketing - Total: PKR 18,500/month - Revenue source: Mostly in-store only

MatjarX approach: - MatjarX Boost: PKR 15,600/month (website + online store + POS integration + email + social) - Optional Google Ads: PKR 0 (organic ranking handles it) - Total: PKR 15,600/month - Revenue sources: In-store + online + organic traffic

Same cost. Triple the revenue potential.
