Compare / Wash-Dry-Fold POS vs. Turns

One was built in a laundromat in the USA. One was built in India for a payments company.

Turns launched in 2022, is developed by a team in India and has been PayRange’s software arm since February 2025, with machine payments, hardware and POS bundled into one plan. Wash-Dry-Fold POS is built, supported and used every day in laundromats in the USA.

Two things separate these systems before you reach a feature list: who wrote the software, and how much of your store one company ends up holding. Turns is developed in India as the software arm of a payments company. Wash-Dry-Fold POS is written in the USA by people who own laundromats here, and every release runs at Liberty Laundry before it reaches you. After that, the decision is about how much you want bundled. If you run PayRange on your machines, or want to, and you would rather have the hardware included than quoted, Turns is built for exactly that. If you want to keep the card system already on your machines, buy your POS on its own and stay month to month, that is us. This page lays out where each one is genuinely strong. Everything stated about Turns comes from their own public pages and PayRange’s own announcements, and the date we checked them is at the bottom.

Who each one is for

Start with the store.

A bundle is attractive right up to the point where you want to change one part of it. The question worth answering before you sign anything is which parts of your store you want one company to control, and how long you are willing to be committed to that answer.

Wash-Dry-Fold POS

For the store that runs on volume.

Built for owners whose wash-dry-fold counter is the business, and who train new attendants more often than they would like.

✓You run a high-volume wash-dry-fold counter and every extra tap at intake costs you.
✓You hire often, and a new attendant has to be taking orders on their first shift.
✓You run several attendants across several shifts and need all of them working the counter the same way.
✓You want to keep the card system already on your machines and sell starts from the register.
✓You want a US phone number answered by someone who has worked a laundromat, and no multi-year commitment.

Setup, training and support all come from people who have worked a laundromat counter. The laundromat website is the only thing sold separately.

Turns

For the store buying the whole bundle.

Built for operators who want machine payments, POS hardware and software from one company, bundled into a plan.

•You already run PayRange on your machines, or intend to, and want the same vendor behind the counter.
•You would rather have the POS, card reader and scale included in the plan than quoted and bought upfront.
•A two-year plan agreement is acceptable, because that is what the included hardware is tied to.
•You want AI in the workflow: plain-English reporting questions and an AI phone answering add-on, both billed on usage.
•You are comfortable with a platform launched in 2022 and developed outside the USA, and will ask for references from US laundromats running it today.

Three published tiers with hardware included on a two-year plan agreement, plus usage-based AI credits and a per-location AI answering add-on.

Differences that matter

Three things that will not show up in a feature grid.

Both feature lists read well. What stays different is what you sign, what happens to the card system already on your machines, and how quickly a new attendant can work the counter.

What you are actually signing.

Turns includes the hardware in the plan, and its own pricing page ties that to a two-year plan agreement. Wash-Dry-Fold POS has no long-term contract: hardware is quoted per store and the software is month to month, so if we stop earning it you can leave. Neither model is wrong. Turns bundles the hardware into a two-year plan; ours is month to month with hardware bought separately. Know which one you are signing.

Where Turns is stronger: bundling hardware into the plan means a much smaller cheque on day one, which is real if capital is tight.

Your attendants learn it, too.

This is the one we would put first. A high-volume store does not train one person, it trains a dozen over a year, and frequent retraining gets expensive fast. Setup includes a two-hour live session with Chelsea Blake, who has trained 1,000+ laundromat owners and 100+ attendants, and managed a chain of eight laundromats for six years before that. She configures your pricing, your bag flow and your attendant routine, then trains your staff on it. The screens are built for that: one job per screen, in the order the work happens.

Where Turns is stronger: they publish 24/7 phone, SMS and web-chat coverage in writing, which is a clearer commitment than we make.

Who wrote it, and what it runs on.

Turns is developed in India as part of the PayRange ecosystem, and its published payment path runs through PayRange hardware. Ours was written by a working owner for his own counter in the USA, and it is used in laundromats here every day. Wash-Dry-Fold POS works alongside whatever is already on your machines: Laundroworks, LaundryCard, FasCard, SpyderWash and Speed Queen, with starts sold from the register and tied to an order. If you have just re-carded a store, that difference is the whole decision.

Where Turns is stronger: PayRange mobile payments are on a lot of American machines, and having them and the POS from one company is a genuine advantage if that is your payment path.

Side by side

How the two are set up.

Nine rows, no scoring. Where Turns is stronger, the row says so. Read the left column with the same skepticism you read the right, and ask both companies the same questions on your calls.

Question to ask	Wash-Dry-Fold POSOwner-owned, since 2016	TurnsPayRange-owned, founded 2022
Ease of training a new attendant	Built to get a new attendant productive fast, which is why volume stores end up here.Each screen does one job, in the order the work happens, so training is showing someone the counter rather than teaching software. David Carlson of LaundroXpress: “With your POS my employees were up and running immediately.”	One dashboard covering POS, machines, staff and marketing.A platform that spans machine payments, marketing and AI tooling carries more surface area than a counter-only system, and every extra area is something an attendant can end up in by accident.
Onboarding & setup	Two-hour live setup with a laundromat manager.Chelsea Blake has trained 1,000+ laundromat owners and 100+ attendants, and managed a chain of eight stores for six years. She configures your pricing and bag flow with you, then trains your attendants on it.	Instant setup is the published promise, with hardware shipped as a bundle.Ask who configures your pricing, bag flow and staff permissions, whether that person is on the call with you, and what time zone they work in.
Where tech support sits	US-based tech support, with a 24/7 AI chat and knowledge base.Salaried support specialists in the USA who have worked laundromat counters, so the answer comes back operational rather than scripted, and the AI chat and knowledge base cover the hours in between.	US-based tech support, with a 24/7 AI chat and knowledge base.On paper this is the same shape as ours. The product team is in India, so ask where a fix gets written and how long a code change takes to reach your store.
Where the product is aimed	In-store wash-dry-fold in the USA, at volume.Intake speed, bag labeling, attendant checklists, order tracking, theft prevention and commercial accounts. One product, no modules to add later.	An all-in-one platform sold alongside machine payments.POS and business manager, website and online ordering, loyalty and memberships, marketing, route management on the top tier, plus AI reporting and an AI phone add-on.
Who is behind it, and track record	Laundromat owners and former store managers. 1,300+ systems sold since 2016, all 50 states.The founder owns three of the top-grossing laundromats in the USA and still runs them, so the product argument and the operating argument are the same argument.	Founded 2022, PayRange-owned since February 2025, with its product team based in India.A shorter run in US laundromats than the systems it competes with. Ask for three references in your state, running your volume, and call them.
Card systems on your machines	Card-system agnostic. We do not sell a payment system.Laundroworks, LaundryCard, FasCard, SpyderWash and Speed Queen — the readers already on your machines stay, and a start can be rung up on an order.	Not agnostic: Turns is owned by PayRange.The parent company makes machine payment hardware, and their published payment path runs through it: in-store card, mobile wallet and the PayRange prepaid card. Ask directly what happens to the readers already on your machines.
Pickup & delivery	Route-based delivery and on-demand couriers, both included from day one.Routes, recurring stops, order status and a driver view all work from a phone, and a customer can choose Uber or DoorDash at checkout. There is no tier to reach first and no module to add.	DoorDash on the entry plan, your own drivers on the top plan.Their pricing page puts the driver app, route optimization and the branded customer app on the highest tier. Both systems can hand an order to a courier, so the question is which tier you land on. Price the one you will actually need.

Bring this table to both demos. Any row a salesperson cannot answer plainly is the row worth pushing on.

The people behind it

Laundromat expertise, built in.

Everyone you deal with here has worked in a laundromat. That is the entire difference, and it shows up on your first busy Saturday.

Wash-Dry-Fold POS was built by Brian Henderson, who owns Liberty Laundry: three stores that took over $2.5M in 2025, with one of them clearing $1M on its own in 2026. He wrote it because nothing on the market handled a high-volume wash-dry-fold counter properly. 1,300+ systems later, that is still the only thing we build for.

Your setup is run by Chelsea Blake, who has trained 1,000+ laundromat owners and 100+ attendants, and managed a chain of eight stores for six years before that. She configures the system around your store, your pricing, your bag flow and your attendant routine, and trains your staff on it in one two-hour session. Not a menu tour. The way the store will actually run on Monday.
