Why manual billing becomes expensive
A shop can survive with paper billing for a while, but missing sales records, unclear balances and weak inventory control eventually cost time and money.
Manual billing slows checkout down and causes pricing mistakes.
Sales records get scattered across notebooks, spreadsheets and WhatsApp messages.
Inventory gets confusing the moment stock is sold, returned or moved without a system.
Customer balances are hard to confirm when credit and partial payments are tracked from memory.
Daily and monthly reports take an evening to build by hand.
Most POS systems charge monthly fees for billing that should be simple.
Some shops need offline Windows software, not a cloud POS that dies when the internet does.

Comparison
Free POS software vs. paid POS vs. custom POS
The free POS is a good starting point. A paid POS can work if its fixed workflow fits you. A custom POS wins when your business needs exact modules, reports and ownership.
