Alternatives
Popmenu alternatives, ranked by what a month costs
What Popmenu's public pages show, then Appetier and every priced alternative at the same order volume. Each figure comes from a public source.
What Popmenu publishes
Popmenu sells three plans: Starter at $179 a month, Essentials at $299, and Premier at $499. Prepaying a year brings them to $159, $269, and $449.
Online ordering and catering are an add-on on every plan, and Popmenu doesn't publish the add-on's price. Each online order also carries a flat $1.00 fee, which the restaurant pays or passes to the guest.
Popmenu suits a full-service restaurant that wants a website and an interactive menu first. If ordering is the point, look for it in the base price. On Appetier, ordering, loyalty, and campaigns sit under one commission-free monthly fee, never more than $199 a location. POS and kiosk are included, with no lock-in.
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.
Who includes what

Popmenu alternatives FAQs
Does Popmenu's AI phone answering take orders?
Popmenu lists AI phone answering from $149 a month. It texts the caller an order link rather than taking the order on the call.
Why does Popmenu show "at least" in the ranking?
Popmenu sells online ordering as an add-on with no public price. The ranking counts only what Popmenu publishes, so its total is a minimum.
