UpMenu alternatives, ranked by what a month costs
What UpMenu's public pages show, then Appetier and every priced alternative at the same order volume. Each figure comes from a public source.
What UpMenu publishes
UpMenu sells modular online ordering. Web Ordering is $49 a month for up to 75 orders, $89 for up to 210, and $169 for unlimited orders, with no commission.
Apps, loyalty, marketing, reservations, and delivery tools are separate monthly modules. Orders above your plan's limit cost $1.90 each, and the payments rate page did not load when we read it, so no card rate is shown.
UpMenu fits a restaurant that wants to pick modules one by one. If you would rather not watch an order cap, Appetier's fee follows your direct sales and stops at $199 a location, with no commission on orders. 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.
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
Appetier's column comes first, then UpMenu, then every other company. A check means the plan includes the feature.

UpMenu charges $1.90 for each order above your plan's limit when extra orders are on. The $169 plan has no limit.
