The short version

  • Only Just Eat has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Flipdish most plans take a percentage of order value, so the cost rises with volume and a busy site can end up paying more than a flat fee competitor would charge.; 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: Flipdish covers Branded ordering site and app, 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.

Flipdish

  • Most plans take a percentage of order value, so the cost rises with volume and a busy site can end up paying more than a flat fee competitor would charge.
  • Commission free refers to the marketplaces, not to Flipdish itself, and the wording in its marketing has caused genuine confusion at renewal time.
  • The company cut staff heavily after its 2021 peak valuation and narrowed its focus, so buyers outside Ireland, the United Kingdom and core European markets get less support and fewer local integrations.
  • Kiosks require hardware purchase and physical installation per site, a capital cost that sits outside the software quote and does not scale down for small premises.
  • You still fund the discounting and advertising that moves customers away from the marketplaces, and none of that appears in the platform cost comparison.

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.
