If my algebra is correct, Square's fee is lower for purchases under approximately $23. In your scenario where your average sale is higher than $23, you do end up paying more with Square. The article suggests that they're targeting coffee houses, casual restaurants, and other places where their average sale is below that threshold. That benefit is in addition to the lower cost of terminals and the added features supplied by their apps.
