Billiards club software — comparison
Searching for billiards club software usually lands on the same questions: is there a table timer, can you set night rates, does the bar land on the session bill, and do you need a light relay? This page puts commonly named international and regional options in one table. No affiliate links; we do not hide competitor strengths. Heselo is our own panel — gaps (no relay, no QR membership) are stated openly.
How to read the table
“Yes” means the feature is confirmed in the vendor’s public materials. “No” for Heselo is an honest negative (light relay). Competitor prices are the figures published on their sites (checked 18 Oct 2026); Heselo prices come from this site’s catalog API. Brand names belong to their owners — no affiliation.
Extra names in AZ and RU/CIS
Names in the table (CueDesk, BilliardPOS, BCMS, Biliardo.kz) show up often in global search. In Azerbaijan, clubs more often compare Club Timer / Akinsoft installs, Menyum, Clopos, or Excel — room-time panel vs restaurant till. In Russia/CIS, SoftBilling, Smartbit, Paloma365, Smart BALL, Devpark and ClubSystem are frequently discussed; confirm packages with each vendor. This hub only keeps rows we can source publicly.

Table notes
An asterisk (*) means the feature or price is stated in public materials and may depend on the package. Light relays exist in both cloud and desktop products: BilliardPOS advertises an ESP32 IP relay; Biliardo.kz sells a USB light kit. Heselo does not offer relay integration — lamp automation is separate hardware. The BCMS Store listing names tables, staff, prices, food and drinks, and revenue; it does not list booking as a named feature.
- CueDesk — look closer for mobile apps, QR membership, and a single public plan
- BilliardPOS — look closer for ESP32 lights, TV timers, and API/webhooks
- BCMS — simple path for a single Windows PC with a Store subscription
- Biliardo.kz — for KZ support, offline Windows, and published ₸ pricing
- Heselo — AZ/EN/RU UI, room+table+bar+cash in one cloud account; mixed venues (billiards+PS+karaoke)

How to choose
First decide whether a light relay is mandatory — if yes, look at BilliardPOS, Biliardo.kz, or other relay products. Then pick the platform (offline Windows vs cloud vs native mobile). Finally weigh language and shift flow: if you need AZ/RU UI and booking → live session → bar → cash in one place, Heselo fills that gap. “Open pricing” alone is not a differentiator — CueDesk, BilliardPOS, and Biliardo.kz also publish rates.
