Grab plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.

People bring Grab in for a traveller or resident in a southeast asian country wanting one app for rides, food delivery and payments, a merchant in the region wanting to accept grabpay alongside cards and bank transfer, a rider who wants to earn and redeem grabrewards points across both transport and food spend, someone comparing grab against a global operator like uber where both are available in the same southeast asian city. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Grab are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Grab badges page.
Before you pay for Grab
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: a single tier at Free. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
Grab runs on ios, android, and is published by Grab Holdings Limited of Singapore. The full record is on the Grab review, and the rest of the category is under best travel tools.
