How much does Eat App cost?

Eat App costs 99, 199 or 389 USD per month on Lite, Core and Pro respectively. With yearly billing, the monthly equivalents are 69, 159 and 299 USD. Enterprise is custom priced. Your actual bill depends on which integrations, deposit tools, messaging allowances and other extras your quote includes.

Source throughout is Eat App's pricing page, October 2026, read October 23, 2026. Confirm the current offer with Eat App. The page advertises yearly savings of up to 30 percent.

Eat App is a restaurant reservation, waitlist and table management system. Compare the subscription against the workflow you need during service, including arrivals, walk-ins, guest records and payments. The plan name alone does not settle what your restaurant will pay.

Why the cover and messaging limits need confirmation

The page is inconsistent. Its cards call the plans Lite, Core and Pro and say unlimited guests on each. Its comparison grid instead uses Starter, Essential and Pro, showing 100 covers on Starter and 300 on Essential. Those names do not establish a reliable mapping between cards and grid. Ask for your cover limit in writing.

A cover is a guest, so a reservation for 4 diners uses 4 covers. Seats and reservations are different measures. Do not use your dining room capacity to guess a monthly guest allowance or assume unlimited guests resolves every usage condition.

WhatsApp allowances also conflict. The plan cards list 200, 500 and 1,500 messages per month on Lite, Core and Pro, while the grid shows 100, 250 and 500. Paid-plan SMS pricing says "contact us." Request the applicable allowance, extra-message price and counting rules for reminders and conversations.

Which add-ons can change the bill

The comparison grid lists the following monthly extras but does not make clear which plans include each. Core's full suite and marketing wording needs clarification alongside these separate prices. Pro explicitly includes POS and payments integration, so do not automatically charge those again in a Pro budget.

Payment integration and deposits are separate lines on this list. Ask whether taking a deposit requires both, which processors work, and what processing charges apply. Our restaurant reservation deposit guide helps you define the booking rules before requesting a quote.

At month end, match deposit and card payouts from the booking tool to the bank account and reconcile those payouts against your bank statement before treating collected deposits as settled cash.

Worked budgets for three US restaurant examples

These are illustrative budgets, not customer results or confirmed quotes. The 60 seat neighborhood bistro needs Lite with deposits and an online waitlist. The 120 seat restaurant needs Core with deposits, payments integration and POS integration. The group budgets Pro at each of its 3 locations, with no extra modules assumed.

Assume the listed extras are charged separately and stay at their monthly rates under yearly billing. The bistro assumes deposits can work without a separate payment integration charge. Core may include some extras, so that row is a budgeting scenario pending confirmation. Group pricing assumes separate subscriptions without a negotiated discount.

These totals exclude taxes, processing and quoted messaging charges. The Pro group row includes its advertised POS and payments integrations, but does not assume deposits or every listed extra is included. Request a location-by-location quote showing shared database access and any group contract conditions.

How Reserving compares on price and features

Reserving charges no per booking fee. Core covers the booking page, widget, board and guest records. Growth adds deposits, SMS, a waiting queue and risk scoring. Multi-Venue includes those features for up to 5 venues, plus group reporting, yield rules, API access and webhooks.

Growth is the relevant deposit and waitlist comparison for the bistro, rather than Core. Its yearly subscription is 888 USD against the modeled Eat App total of 1,284 USD. For the group, Multi-Venue is 2,988 USD yearly against the Pro model of 10,764 USD, with different feature sets.

The Reserving restaurant reservation system and restaurant waitlist features explain the service workflow. If card holds or POS connectivity are essential, confirm availability separately. The 120 seat restaurant's POS requirement needs that check before comparing it with Growth. Check the Reserving plan and billing comparison before choosing.

When Eat App is the better choice

Eat App deserves a close look when WhatsApp messaging is central to guest communication. Confirmed allowances may suit your reminder workflow better than a system centered on SMS. Core's marketing suite and white labeling also matter if your team will use campaigns and branded communication regularly.

Pro is particularly relevant when a group needs a shared guest database, POS integrations and payments integration under the same offer. Its private success manager may help with rollout. Ask for a demonstration using your actual POS and group workflow. Reserving's lower subscription does not establish equivalent integrations, WhatsApp support or marketing tools.

What to ask before signing

• Which plan name and cover allowance will appear in our contract?
• Which listed add-ons are included, and which are separate charges?
• What are the messaging allowances, overage prices and SMS terms?
• What are the processor fees, renewal terms and cancellation conditions?
• Can we export guest records and future bookings if we leave?

Is Eat App free?

Eat App offers a 14 day trial with no card needed. Its pricing page also shows a capped entry tier limited to 100 guests a month. Treat that as an entry option rather than an unlimited free plan, and confirm its current price and restrictions directly with Eat App.

Does Eat App charge per cover?

The pricing page lists subscriptions rather than a stated per-cover fee, but guest allowances are inconsistent. Lite, Core and Pro cards promise unlimited guests, while the differently named comparison grid shows capped plans. Ask Eat App to confirm the cover limit, overage handling and any usage charges in writing.

Does Eat App take deposits?

Yes, Eat App lists deposits and prepayments as a 19 USD monthly add-on. The grid does not clearly establish which plans include it or whether separate payment integration is required. Confirm the combined subscription, integration and processing charges, along with refund rules, before budgeting deposits as a single extra.

What are the alternatives to Eat App?

Reserving, OpenTable and Yelp Guest Manager are alternatives to compare for restaurant reservations. Reserving Growth includes deposits and a waiting queue at a flat subscription. Compare discovery, guest communication, integrations and total billing across providers, using your actual service requirements rather than assuming their similarly named plans include equivalent tools.

Read our OpenTable subscription and cover fee breakdown and Yelp Guest Manager pricing comparison. The direct booking alternative to OpenTable explains how to assess your own booking channel alongside a discovery network.

Is Eat App worth it?

Eat App can be worth it when its WhatsApp messaging, marketing suite, POS connections or shared group database solve daily operational needs. Test those workflows during the trial and obtain a complete written quote. For direct bookings with deposits and a waiting queue, compare Reserving Growth's subscription and feature scope.
