Online ordering & delivery apps

Online ordering and delivery apps, compared

Direct ordering platforms and delivery apps are scored in two separate rankings, each with a public rubric. Each number links to its source and shows when we last verified it.

34 ordering platforms and apps · Updated Oct 2, 2026Methodology v0.1.0 · Draft

This comparison is a draft. We're still verifying each vendor's data, so some cells say "Unconfirmed" or "Not published" until we check them against the vendor's own pages.

Delivery apps and direct ordering platforms do different jobs. The apps bring you customers and deliver your orders, for a commission on each order. Direct ordering (your own website and app, your POS's ordering module, or the direct option of a delivery app) is a tool for the customers you already have. That's why they're scored in two separate rankings, and why we show what your restaurant pays apart from what your customers pay. If a vendor doesn't publish something, you'll see "Not published" or "Quote only", never a zero.
