The short version

Only Swiggy has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
Each has a real cost: Nory the forecasting that justifies the product needs several months of clean point of sale history, so new openings and recently reopened sites get little value at first.; Swiggy restaurant commission of roughly 15 to 25 percent is commonly passed through as higher in-app menu prices, so the delivered price is not simply the counter price plus a fee.
They diverge on capability: Nory covers Demand forecasting, Swiggy covers Food delivery marketplace.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Nory

The forecasting that justifies the product needs several months of clean point of sale history, so new openings and recently reopened sites get little value at first.
It replaces scheduling, stock and reporting together, which makes adoption an all or nothing project rather than a tool a single manager can trial.
Employment rules and rota compliance are built for the United Kingdom and Ireland, so groups with United States or continental European sites will find gaps.
The vendor is young and its integration list is short, so an operator on a less common point of sale or payroll provider may be waiting on a build.
Pricing is per site, which means small satellite units and kiosks cost the same as flagship venues despite far simpler operations.

Swiggy

Restaurant commission of roughly 15 to 25 percent is commonly passed through as higher in-app menu prices, so the delivered price is not simply the counter price plus a fee.
Instamart's fast delivery promise depends on dense local dark-store coverage, so the speed and product range advertised in major metros do not extend evenly to smaller cities.
Delivery riders and Instamart pickers are engaged on a gig basis with earnings tied to order volume, a model that has drawn wage and working-condition scrutiny in India.
Swiggy One's value depends on using multiple Swiggy products regularly; a household that only orders food occasionally will rarely recoup the subscription cost.
As a newly public company since its 2024 IPO, Swiggy is under investor pressure to show profitability, and cost-cutting or fee changes driven by that pressure can land on riders, restaurants or diners with limited notice.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Nory: How much sales history does it need to forecast well?

Several months at minimum. With less than that the forecast is not reliable enough to size rotas or orders against.

Swiggy: Is Instamart a separate app from Swiggy?

No, Instamart quick commerce grocery delivery is built into the main Swiggy app rather than sold as a standalone download.

Nory: Does it do payroll?

No. It produces the rota, hours and labour cost, and exports to payroll rather than running it.

Swiggy: What does Swiggy One include?

A paid membership bundling delivery fee waivers and discounts across food delivery, Instamart and Dineout dine-in bookings.

Nory: Is it usable outside the United Kingdom and Ireland?

It can be, but the employment rules, compliance logic and integration coverage are built around those markets.

Swiggy: Is Swiggy a public company?

Yes, Swiggy Limited listed on Indian stock exchanges via an IPO in 2024.

Nory: Does it replace my point of sale?

No. It reads sales from the point of sale and sits above it as the operations and reporting layer.
