Menufy alternative: your own app for less than Menufy costs now
Menufy is no longer free: it now costs $149 a month on a 12-month agreement or $179 month to month, with card processing extra. Nomback is an alternative at $99 a month and $399 setup, month to month, that gives you your own App Store app with ordering, a stamp card and push deals, and no commission.
How it works
- Send us your Menufy menu or a photo of your menu, and we set it up in your app.
- Your app goes live in about two weeks; switch your website link when it does.
- Regulars order in your app, earn stamps and get your push deals.

|---|---|---|
| Your own ordering and rewards app (iPhone and Android) | $99 | $399 |

No commission on any order and no fee added to your customers. Card payments go through Stripe at 2.9% + 30¢. Apple charges $99 a year and Google $25 once for the developer accounts, which are in your name. Month to month, and live in about two weeks. Full pricing.
Menufy then and now
For years Menufy was free to the restaurant and charged the customer $1.50 per order, and that figure still shows up in old comparisons (Lightspeed's Menufy listing). Menufy's current pricing page lists one plan at $149 a month on a 12-month agreement or $179 with no agreement (Menufy pricing). It doesn't print its card processing rate.

When Menufy is fine
If what you want is a web ordering page and you're happy with it, the price difference may not be worth a switch. Switch when you want the regulars on your app: a home-screen icon, stamps that reward ordering direct, and a way to reach them on a slow night.
