Toast Online Ordering alternatives, ranked by what a month costs
Toast prints no price for online ordering and needs a Toast POS. Here is what its pages show, then Appetier and every priced alternative.
What Toast Online Ordering publishes
Toast Online Ordering is a module of the Toast POS account. Toast's product page says no commissions and no hidden fees. Its support center says setup needs at least one Toast POS device that stays powered on during your opening hours.
Toast's pricing page prints the POS, not the module. Starter Kit starts at $0 a month and Point of Sale at $69. Online ordering sits in Digital Storefront Essentials, a package with no price on the page we read. Toast's support center says online orders use the card-not-present rate on your own contract. So neither the module nor the online card rate is public, and we do not estimate them from third-party reports.
Delivery is priced. Toast Delivery Services is $6.99 for an Uber Direct delivery under 6 miles, or $7.49 with DoorDash Drive within 5 miles. Toast adds a $1.49 fee per order. Appetier lists its price, takes direct orders with no commission, and stops its monthly fee at $199 a location.

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.
