The short version

  • Each has a real cost: 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.; Rectangle rectangle Pro is a separate app rather than an in-app purchase, so upgrading means installing and managing a second piece of software.
  • They diverge on capability: Dominos covers Order ahead and tracking, Rectangle covers Keyboard shortcuts.
  • 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.

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.

Rectangle

  • Rectangle Pro is a separate app rather than an in-app purchase, so upgrading means installing and managing a second piece of software.
  • It is Mac only, so it offers nothing for a user who also runs Windows and wants one window manager everywhere.
  • It has no official paid support channel, being a community open source project, so issues are handled through GitHub rather than a vendor support desk.
  • Some very old or unusually built third party apps still resist Rectangle window snapping, a limitation shared with most third party window managers on macOS.
  • Because it is not distributed through the Mac App Store, some users have to manually approve accessibility permissions and updates rather than getting silent App Store updates.
