  • They diverge on capability: Just Eat covers Restaurant and takeaway marketplace, Vinted covers No seller commission.
  • 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.

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.

Vinted

  • The Buyer Protection fee is not shown in the browsable item price, so comparing a listing price across Vinted and a commission-based competitor understates Vinted's true checkout cost unless the buyer manually adds the fee.
  • The fee is proportionally larger on cheap items, so buying several low-value pieces separately costs more in fees relative to item price than buying one higher-value item.
  • Sellers keeping the full sale price shifts cost to buyers rather than removing it, so the platform is not free to use overall, only free for the seller side of a transaction.
  • Item authentication is optional and limited to eligible higher-value categories, so counterfeit risk on everyday clothing items rests mostly on buyer judgement of listing photos and seller history.
  • Market strength is concentrated in Europe, and inventory depth, shipping partnerships and buyer volume are considerably thinner in markets outside its established base.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

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.

Vinted: Does Vinted charge sellers a commission?

No, sellers receive the full listed sale price with no percentage taken by the platform.

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.

Vinted: So how does Vinted make money?

From a Buyer Protection fee added at checkout, calculated from the item price, which the buyer pays on top of the listed amount and shipping.

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

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

Vinted: Is the buyer protection fee shown on the item listing?

No, it is calculated and added at checkout, so the browsable listing price does not reflect the final total a buyer pays.
