Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
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.
FreeFileSync
- The interface is dense and functional rather than friendly, and the sync direction is easy to misread
- Some convenience features are held behind the paid Donation Edition
- The installer has historically bundled optional offers, which is worth reading carefully during setup
- Not a versioned cloud backup: it synchronises what you point it at and nothing more
