Ordering.co charges US$5,000 to US$20,000 just to get started. That's before you process a single order, and per-order fees still apply after your included quota.
Ordering.co is built for entrepreneurs creating multi-vendor delivery marketplaces. If you're one restaurant wanting your own ordering site, that's more than you need.
Ordering.co is sold as a licence, and configuring and deploying it is part of the project. Spatula is a managed service: sign up, add your menu and start taking orders.
Exceed your included order quota and you pay US$0.10 to US$0.15 per additional order. The more successful you are, the more you pay.
