The short version

  • Only Backbar has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Backbar invoice syncing with inventory requires the top Professional plan at $129 per month billed monthly, as of August 2026; Deliverect plans bundle an order allowance per location and charge overage, so the months when delivery performs best are the months the software bill jumps.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Backbar

  • Invoice syncing with inventory requires the top Professional plan at $129 per month billed monthly, as of August 2026
  • Pricing is charged per location, so multi-location bars pay the plan fee separately for each site, as of August 2026

Deliverect

  • Plans bundle an order allowance per location and charge overage, so the months when delivery performs best are the months the software bill jumps.
  • It is a single point of failure between the marketplaces and the kitchen; when the middleware has an incident, orders keep being accepted by the apps but stop reaching the till.
  • Integration depth varies by POS, and on some systems orders land as a single consolidated line rather than itemised, which quietly destroys product mix and recipe level cost reporting.
  • Each connected channel per location is counted separately, so a site listed on four marketplaces costs materially more than one listed on two, irrespective of whether the extra channels are profitable.
  • Support response is tiered by plan and smaller customers on lower tiers wait longest on order routing faults, which are time critical by definition.
