The short version

  • Only Dominos has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: BetterTouchTool the preferences interface has hundreds of settings across many tabs, so getting one custom gesture working can take longer than with a dedicated single-purpose app.; Dominos rewards points only accrue on orders placed through Domino's own app or website, not orders placed via third party delivery marketplaces, so switching between channels resets the incentive.
  • They diverge on capability: BetterTouchTool covers Gesture customisation, Dominos covers Order ahead and tracking.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

BetterTouchTool

  • The preferences interface has hundreds of settings across many tabs, so getting one custom gesture working can take longer than with a dedicated single-purpose app.
  • The Standard Licence stops receiving updates after two years unless renewed or upgraded to Lifetime, which is easy to miss and can leave a user on an outdated build.
  • It is Mac only, offering nothing for a Windows machine in a mixed household.
  • Because it can intercept almost any input, misconfiguration can make gestures or shortcuts behave unpredictably across different apps, which takes time to debug.
  • It overlaps in function with several single-purpose tools such as Rectangle for windows or Karabiner-Elements for key remapping, so a new user has to decide whether they want one broad tool or several focused ones.

Dominos

  • Rewards points only accrue on orders placed through Domino's own app or website, not orders placed via third party delivery marketplaces, so switching between channels resets the incentive.
  • Delivery fees, service charges and driver tip prompts still apply on app orders and can add several dollars to the menu price shown.
  • Order tracking accuracy depends on individual franchise store operations and has been inconsistent in practice at busier locations.
  • Points expire after a period of account inactivity, so infrequent customers can lose accumulated progress toward a free pizza.
  • As with comparable chain apps, using it means giving up order history and location data in exchange for the points programme and occasional app-only deals.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

BetterTouchTool: Is BetterTouchTool a subscription?

No. It is a one-time purchase, either a Standard Licence with two years of updates or a Lifetime Licence with updates indefinitely.

Dominos: Is the Domino's app free?

Yes, joining and using it costs nothing beyond what is ordered.

BetterTouchTool: Can I get it without buying it directly?

Yes, it is included in the Setapp subscription bundle alongside other Mac utilities.

Dominos: Why does Domino's push its own app over delivery marketplaces?

Domino's has stated its own channels avoid the 15 to 30 percent commissions third party delivery marketplaces charge, so it keeps more margin per order.

BetterTouchTool: Does it replace Rectangle or Karabiner-Elements?

It can cover much of what both do, since it includes window snapping and key remapping, but each of those apps is more focused on its single job.

Dominos: Do I earn points ordering through Uber Eats or DoorDash instead?

No, Piece of the Pie Rewards only accrues on orders placed directly through Domino's own app or website.
