  • They diverge on capability: Dominos covers Order ahead and tracking, Magnet 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.

Magnet

  • There is no free tier at all, so a user cannot try before buying beyond the Mac App Store return window.
  • It offers fewer customisation options than Rectangle, such as fewer configurable snap zones and less granular per-app behaviour.
  • Update cadence has historically been slower than the actively developed open source Rectangle project.
  • It is Mac only and App Store only, so it cannot be scripted, redistributed internally by a company, or installed outside Apple normal channels.
  • Being a small independent app, support depends on the developer responding to App Store reviews or email rather than a dedicated support team.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Dominos: Is the Domino's app free?

Yes, joining and using it costs nothing beyond what is ordered.

Magnet: Does Magnet have a free version?

No. It has always been a paid Mac App Store purchase with no free tier.

Dominos: Why does Domino's push its own app over delivery marketplaces?

Domino's has stated its own channels avoid the 15 to 30 percent commissions third party delivery marketplaces charge, so it keeps more margin per order.

Magnet: Can I share one purchase across my family Macs?

Yes, through Apple Family Sharing on the Mac App Store, the same as any other App Store app.

Dominos: Do I earn points ordering through Uber Eats or DoorDash instead?

No, Piece of the Pie Rewards only accrues on orders placed directly through Domino's own app or website.

Magnet: How is it different from Rectangle?

Magnet is a paid App Store app from the start; Rectangle is free and open source, with paid Pro features sold as a separate app.
