The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Clover the App Store listing (Clover Network, Inc) requires an existing Clover merchant account to use the app at all; there is no self-serve signup or published subscription price inside the listing, confirming the product is sold only through merchant onboarding contracts; Owner.com the $249 per month Flexible plan adds a 5 percent restaurant fee on every order, so cost rises with sales volume
  • They diverge on capability: Clover covers POS system, Owner.com covers Website builder.
