Chowly alternatives, ranked by what a month costs
What Chowly's public pages show, then Appetier and every priced alternative at the same order volume. Each figure comes from a public source.
What Chowly publishes
Chowly started with one job: getting delivery app orders into a restaurant's POS. It now sells a website, direct ordering, branded apps, loyalty, and AI agents beside that.
Its demo page says price varies by location count and which agents you turn on, and that you'll hear specifics during the demo. With no public figure, Chowly has no row in the ranking below.
If you want a number before a call, the ranking shows every company that publishes one. Appetier takes no commission and adds no markup on DoorDash and Uber Eats orders. Its fee stops at $199, with POS and kiosk included.
One month at each company, lowest cost first
A month at 40 orders a day and a $30 average order, card processing included. Each company is on its cheapest plan at that volume.
Quote only, with no public price: Olo, Deliverect Direct, Chowly, Sauce, SpotHopper, BentoBox, Restolabs, Nory.

All in adds card processing at the company's published rate. A company that publishes none gets 2.9% + 30¢, the online rate on Appetier Pay.
Each company starts on its lowest-cost plan at your volume, and you can switch plans. One-time setup, hardware, and delivery costs are left out.
Popmenu sells online ordering as an add-on with no public price, so its total is a minimum.

Chowly alternatives FAQs
How is Chowly priced?
By quote. Chowly's demo page says pricing varies by location count and which agents you turn on, and that it's month to month.
Can I keep my POS if I switch from Chowly to Appetier?
Yes. Appetier syncs prices, hours, and sold-out items with Square, Toast, and Clover, and direct orders print there when it accepts them. Connecting a POS is optional, so a first location can go live in minutes without one.
