The short version

  • Only Just Eat has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: 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.; Just Eat delivery speed and reliability on marketplace-only listings depend on the individual restaurant's own drivers, which is far less consistent than a platform-run logistics network.
  • They diverge on capability: Deliverect covers Marketplace order injection, Just Eat covers Restaurant and takeaway marketplace.
  • 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.

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.

Just Eat

  • Delivery speed and reliability on marketplace-only listings depend on the individual restaurant's own drivers, which is far less consistent than a platform-run logistics network.
  • The Grubhub acquisition was written down by billions of dollars within two years, a sign the US delivery market did not work economically for the company even at scale.
  • The parent company was taken private by Prosus in 2025, so a former public company with disclosed results is now reporting to a single owner instead.
  • Fee structures differ by country and even by restaurant within a country, making the total cost of an order harder to predict than a flat platform fee.
  • Brand fragmentation across Just Eat, Lieferando and Thuisbezorgd means account, loyalty points and order history do not necessarily carry over if you move between the markets that use different local names.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Deliverect: Does Deliverect lower the commission I pay to delivery apps?

No. Marketplace commission is unchanged. It removes tablet handling, re keying errors and menu drift.

Just Eat: Is Just Eat the same company as Grubhub?

It was; Just Eat Takeaway.com bought Grubhub in 2021 but sold it to Wonder Group in 2024 after large write-downs.

Deliverect: Will it work with my point of sale?

It integrates with most major cloud and enterprise POS systems, but confirm whether your system receives itemised orders or one consolidated line before signing.

Just Eat: Why does the app have a different name in some countries?

Just Eat Takeaway.com operates local brands such as Lieferando in Germany and Austria and Thuisbezorgd in the Netherlands, all on shared underlying technology.

Deliverect: Can it run my own ordering site too?

Yes, through Deliverect Direct, which puts first party orders through the same pipeline as marketplace orders.

Just Eat: Is Just Eat still a publicly listed company?

No. Prosus took Just Eat Takeaway.com private in a 2025 acquisition.

Deliverect: Is it available in the United States?

Yes, though its channel coverage advantage is strongest in Europe, the United Kingdom, the Middle East and Australia.
