Where UpMenu is stronger
UpMenu has modules Nomback doesn't sell, such as a driver app ($19) and marketplace integrations ($9). If you only need web ordering under 75 orders a month, its $49 module is cheaper than Nomback. Nomback wins once you want the app, loyalty and more orders in one price, and it adds memberships and push deals.
