Diagnostics and buyback workflows
Check Up — Instant Diagnostics (internal + interactive) for iOS/Android, Mobile App Diagnostics (display, cameras, audio, sensors, controls, connectivity), device info when available, grading profiles, PDF reports & labels, optional secured data erasure for clean handoff. Enterprise-ready, with a clear Free → Premium path. Not a full POS.
NSYS offers a broader buyback and diagnostics platform. Consider it when buyback automation across more of your commerce workflow is the priority.
NSYS sits in a broader buyback / diagnostics platform lane with package / sales-led pricing and sales-style onboarding — quotes can depend on who you are and your volume. That is not open public bench pricing like Check Up’s published Free ($0/€0/£0) and Premium (US $25 · EU €21.90 · UK £19.90), which you can plan from a public page and Start Free on.

Small-shop decision checklist
Use this when you’re stuck between Check Up vs NSYS:
-
Do you need a broader buyback commerce/automation platform, or diagnostics-first tooling?
-
Do you need a Free plan with exact published limits this week?
-
Is Premium at $25 / €21.90 / £19.90 enough volume (250 checks, 55 blacklist, a carrier-lock sample)?
-
Does Check Up’s secured data erasure fit your handoff process?
-
Will Check Up’s station diagnostics workflow cover your bench (multiple stations OK on Free; limits workspace-wide), or do you need multi-location buyback orchestration NSYS may emphasize?
If answers skew to freemium diagnostics for repair & trade-in shops, Start Free on Check Up and plan from published Free ($0/€0/£0) + Premium ($25/€21.90/£19.90). If answers skew to a broader buyback platform, package/sales-led pricing, and sales-style onboarding, shortlist NSYS.
