Sling pricing
Sling publishes 3 tiers. Below is each one, what it adds over the tier beneath it, and where the ladder stops being worth climbing for most people.
As of 30 August 2026, Sling pricing is free, then $2/month across 3 published tiers. Figures are the vendor's list prices as recorded on this page's last check; the vendor's site is the final word.

Sling 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.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | Free | 5 | Entry tier |
| Premium | $2/month | 5 | +$2/month, 5 more features |
| Business | $4/month | 6 | +$2/month, 5 more features |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Sling are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in Restaurants
Too few restaurants tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

| Deliveroo | Free | Free to download; delivery and service fees per order, optional subscription for reduced fees | - | vs Sling |

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 Sling badges page.
Before you pay for Sling
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: 3 tiers between Free and $4/month, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
Sling runs on web, ios, android, and is published by Sling Inc. (Toast) of New York, New York. The full record is on the Sling review, and the rest of the category is under best restaurants tools.

- What is the difference between Free and Premium on Sling?
- Premium costs $2/month against Free, and adds mobile time tracking, labor cost management, overtime tracking, group messaging.

- That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is kiosk time tracking, comprehensive reports, no-show tracking, sick call-out management.

- What am I actually paying for with Sling?

- Does Sling charge per user?

- Are these Sling prices current?
- They are what the catalogue entry holds, refreshed when the entry is. Vendors change pricing without notice and nobody at Softwr re-verifies each tier by hand, so treat this as a structured summary and the vendor's own pricing page as the authority.
