How we grade them
| 2.0GPAOwnerFair | 2.2GPAUENIFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | DGraded against its own alternatives, as it's a done-for-you restaurant service: $249 a month plus a 5% fee per order, or $499 flat, over ten times Wix's $17 or Squarespace's $19. Guests pay a 5% fee on each order too. The branded app and marketing are what the extra buys. | CGraded against its own alternatives, since it's a done-for-you service: $20.83 a month billed yearly ($24.99 monthly) plus a $79 setup fee, about what Squarespace's $19 or B12's $20 do-it-yourself plans cost. Unlimited edits done for you start at $49.17, the store at $82.50. |
| Free plan and trial | FNothing free: no free plan, no trial and no self-serve sign-up, just a demo. It's month to month with no contract or cancellation fee, which helps, but you're paying from the start. | FNo free plan and no free trial. The 30-day money-back guarantee runs from the day you pay the setup fee, and it doesn't refund a custom domain. |
| Features | CFor a restaurant it does the lot: a site with SEO pages, ordering, catering, a branded app, loyalty, email and text campaigns, delivery and POS links. But it's a smaller job than this category's, and Owner says you give up control over how the site looks. | BA site built in 7 days, with a domain, SSL, hosting and email on every plan, then bookings, a 0% commission store, Google Business Profile upkeep and a marketing team higher up. It covers the whole job, with people doing the work. |
| Ease of use | A4.78 from 1,544 App Store ratings for Owner's app. Owner's team builds the site and moves your restaurant over, so there's very little for you to set up. | BNo store rating on record, but there's nothing to build: a 15 to 30 minute questionnaire, and their team makes the site. After 30 days on Launch, the edits are yours to make. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with Clover built in and Toast, Square and Lightspeed connecting, so orders reach the kitchen. There's no desktop app, which keeps it off an A. | BA web app with no phone or desktop app, linking to Stripe, PayPal, Square, Google Business Profile, Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Calendly and Mailchimp. |
| Best for | restaurants taking orders off the delivery apps | a business site built for you in a week |
