Comparison
Two Australian-built queue systems, head to head. Pricing tiers, included SMS, and where each one really wins.
ServQueue and ScanQueue are the two closest matches for an Australian small business comparing modern queue software — both are AU-built self-serve SaaS, both use QR check-in, both bill in AUD. The differences sit in pricing tiers, included SMS, multi-location, and a few features that only one product ships.

It depends on the tier. ScanQueue's Essential is $10/month cheaper than ServQueue's Basic, but only includes 25 SMS/month vs 300. At the Pro tier, ServQueue ($209 — 1,500 SMS, multi-location) is $40 cheaper than ScanQueue ($249 — 1,400 SMS, multi-location). For most active Australian SMBs sending more than a handful of SMS a week, ServQueue works out cheaper.
Yes, and there's nothing technical to import. Queues are stateless from one shift to the next — generate a ServQueue QR code, swap it at the counter, and you're live in under five minutes. Existing customer contact details from ScanQueue can be exported by their support if you need a copy for your records.
Yes. ServQueue is built and operated in Australia by Mindrift (ABN 77 190 329 645). Customer data is stored in AWS Sydney (ap-southeast-2). SMS is sent via ClickSend, an Australian gateway. ScanQueue is also Australian-built — the AU-residency comparison is a tie between these two.
