Clover alternatives, ranked by what a month costs
What Clover's public pages show, then Appetier and every priced alternative at the same order volume. Each figure comes from a public source.
What Clover publishes
Clover sells restaurant plans from $135 to $354 a month, each a 36 month subscription with Clover hardware included. Its pricing FAQ says subscriptions cannot be cancelled.
Online ordering carries no Clover order fee, but it needs a Clover device, and online card payments run at the typed-in rate of 3.5% + 10¢.
If you already own tablets, Appetier POS runs on them and is included in Growth, with ordering, loyalty, and campaigns under one fee that stops at $199 a location. And if you keep Clover, Appetier connects to it.
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.
Prices checked Sep 28, 2026 · Sources
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.
Who includes what

Clover alternatives FAQs
Is there a Clover alternative that runs on an iPad?
Appetier POS runs on an iPad or Android tablet you already own. Use our card readers with Appetier Pay, or keep your provider's.
Why does Clover show "at least" in the ranking?
Clover's plans need Clover hardware, and the ranking counts the monthly price only, so its total is a minimum.
