Joyeros vs SICAR: which one fits your jewelry store?
SICAR is one of the most used points of sale in Mexico, with a version for jewelry stores and SICAR X in the cloud. Joyeros is made only for jewelry and is built around gold: its weight, its purity and today's price.
Choose Joyeros if…
- You want to value your inventory at today's gold price.
- You'd rather sign in from the browser than install software and pay per computer.
- You want an AI assistant and product photos for your online store.
SICAR suits you if…
- You need to issue CFDI invoices from the point of sale.
- You sell on layaway, installments or customer credit.
- Your internet drops often and the register has to sell offline.

Two ways to run a jewelry store.
Built around the metal
In Joyeros, every piece keeps its metal, karat and weight, and the system works out its pure content and its value at today's quote. Every purchase keeps that day's gold price.
No per-computer licenses
SICAR is licensed per computer and SICAR X is paid per store each year. Joyeros runs in the browser on any device, with a free plan to start.
AI for your jewelry store
The Joyeros assistant answers questions about your sales, customers and inventory, and you can create AI product photos for your catalog.
From SICAR to Joyeros, step by step.
- 1
Gather your products in an Excel or CSV file, one row per piece.
- 2
Add each piece's metal, karat and weight.
- 3
Import the file into your Joyeros inventory.
- 4
Invite your team and start selling from the point of sale.
What Joyeros doesn't do yet
SICAR has years on the Mexican sales counter and covers things Joyeros doesn't: it issues CFDI 4.0 invoices, handles layaway and credit, prints jewelry labels, transfers stock between stores and keeps selling offline. If your operation depends on that today, SICAR is a solid choice.
Joyeros bets on something else: understanding gold. Every piece with its metal, karat and weight, your inventory valued at today's quote and the metal price kept with every purchase, in a system you open in the browser, with an online store and AI.
