Why people look past Deliveroo
Nothing on the record flags a reason to move. Deliveroo has a free tier. People still switch over fit and workflow, and those are not things a catalogue entry can measure, which is what the comparisons below are for.

Cheaper ways to solve the same problem
What you would be giving up
Deliveroo is most often brought in for someone ordering food for delivery who values convenience over the price premium versus collection, a frequent orderer weighing whether a deliveroo plus subscription pays for itself at their order volume, a workplace using deliveroo for business to give staff an expensed meal allowance, a diner comparing grocery delivery speed against a supermarket own-delivery slot. Anything replacing it has to cover the ones you actually depend on, and a cheaper tool that misses one of them is not cheaper.
Two things this page cannot settle. It compares on price, model, tier count and rating, because those are the fields the category listing carries, feature-level differences need both full records, which is what the head-to-head pages load. And the ratings are third-party aggregates imported with each entry rather than reviews written here, so a 0.2 difference between two tools is noise rather than a finding.
If Deliveroo is broadly right and the question is cost, the Deliveroo pricing breakdown covers every tier and what each one adds. If you want the whole field rather than a shortlist, the Restaurants category lists everything the directory holds, and best restaurants tools ranks them.
Deliveroo runs on ios, android, web. Platform coverage is not carried on the category listing for the alternatives, so it is one more thing to check on each head-to-head page rather than here.
