Which one is for you
Pick Menu Tiger if
- Fits if you run one restaurant and orders stay under 75 a month
- Makes sense if you want table ordering without a per-order commission
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you take more than 75 orders a month, as the free plan stops there
- Pricey if you need a POS and printers, which add $30 and $20 a month on the middle plans
- Not for you if you need a kitchen display on a small budget, as it starts on the $46 plan
- Watch out: table management and the custom domain are Premium only, at $119 a month
- Skip it if you want listed integrations, since none are on record
Pick Uniqode if
- Fits if you print codes on packaging or signs and need to change where they lead later
- Works for companies that want QR codes and staff business cards in the same account
Look elsewhere if
- Watch out: every plan is billed yearly, and going past your yearly scan allowance means moving up a plan
- Skip it if you might stop paying, since dynamic codes stop redirecting when the plan or the trial ends
- Pricey if you need integrations or the API, which start on Core at $49 a month, or retargeting, which needs Business+ at $399
- Tight if more than one person makes codes: Essential and Core have one user, and Plus is $99 a month for three
- Watch out: a custom domain is a $500-a-year Plus add-on in the plan table but $2,000 a domain in the pricing FAQ
How we grade them
| 2.0GPAMenu TigerFair | 2.4GPAUniqodeFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CPaid plans start at $17 a month, between the $12 middle and the $25 dearer quarter for this category. The POS adds $30 and printers $20 on top. | CEssential is $9 a month billed yearly, the middle of what QR code tools charge, for 15 dynamic codes and 50,000 scans a year. There's no monthly option, and integrations, the API and routing rules need Core at $49 a month. |
| Free plan and trial | CA free plan with 1 store and 75 orders a month. A restaurant with real traffic passes 75 orders in a few days. | CStatic codes are free with no cap, and so is one digital business card, but static codes can't be edited or tracked. Dynamic codes need a plan, and the ones made in the 14-day trial stop working if you don't upgrade. |
| Features | CQR ordering, online ordering, reports, POS and a kitchen display. The kitchen display needs Advanced and table management needs Premium, and the listing flags mismatched limits on the pricing page. | BDynamic codes in more than 15 types, scan analytics, Linkpages, forms, bulk creation, an API, roles and SSO, plus business cards for Apple and Google Wallet. Nothing in the core job is missing; the limits are in which plan you're on. |
| Ease of use | CA web app where you build the menu yourself, and no store rating is on record. Expect to set up items, tables and printers first. | CNo rating on record. It's an account with codes, landing pages and forms to build, and a scan allowance to watch, since it only resets once a year. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only, with no integrations listed. Everything runs in a browser. | BWeb and iPhone apps for cards and codes, with Zapier, Make, Workato, Google Sheets, Slack and Canva, and an API from Core. No Android or desktop app. |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
