The short version

  • Only Swiggy has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Restaurant365 pricing not published; custom quotes required based on module selection; 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: Restaurant365 covers Accounting, Swiggy covers Food delivery 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.

Restaurant365

  • Pricing not published; custom quotes required based on module selection
  • Modular approach means costs vary significantly by business needs

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.
