Owner.com and AIOrders are direct competitors. Both build restaurants a website, run commission-free online ordering and automate marketing. The biggest differences are how you pay (flat vs per-order), who pays fees (you or your guests), and what is included around ordering. Here is a fact-checked comparison using both companies' public pages.

"Not listed" means we did not find it on the public pricing page when we checked. Ask the vendor if it matters to you.
Owner's Flexible plan is $249 + 5% of orders; the Flat plan is $499. AIOrders offers a flat-monthly plan with 0% order fees (see pricing; the entry plan adds a per-order fee), so its cost does not change with volume.
These are platform fees only. On Owner, guests also pay a 5% order support fee on top (for example, $500 on $10,000 of orders). Payment processing for either platform is not itemised here; confirm it with each vendor.
Owner gets compared with Toast and Menufy too. Toast is a full POS whose online ordering is commission-free but sold as a quoted package (Toast, as of Oct 2026). Menufy is a flat $149–$179/month ordering and marketing platform (Menufy, as of Oct 2026). Owner sits above Menufy on price and offers more done-for-you website work. See our Toast and Menufy alternative pages.
Owner.com is better for US restaurants that want a polished, done-for-you website and ordering launch with a dedicated setup specialist, and whose online sales are high enough (Owner suggests $5k+/month) to make the Flat Rate plan efficient.
AIOrders is better for restaurants that want a flat monthly price, no per-order restaurant fee on the flat-monthly plan, all delivery apps on one screen through Order Hub, and a Vancouver-based team serving restaurants in Canada and the USA.
Import your menu with the free Menu Import tool (PDF, photos, your website or a delivery-app link; nothing is published until you review it), check modifiers and prices, then point your website and Google "Order Online" links to the new page. Run Owner.com and AIOrders side by side for a few weeks; move regulars over with a bag insert or QR code that rewards ordering direct. The migration checklist has the full steps.
Next step: plug your monthly delivery sales into the calculator and compare the result with a flat monthly fee (see pricing).
$249/month + 5% restaurant fee per order (Flexible) or $499/month with no restaurant fees (Flat Rate); guests pay a 5% order support fee on both (Owner, as of Oct 2026).
It depends on your volume. In our examples Owner Flexible costs $399–$749 and Owner Flat $499. AIOrders offers a flat-monthly plan with 0% order fees (see pricing; the entry plan adds a per-order fee); compare its current price with those numbers.
It means the platform does not take a percentage of each order as its fee. You usually pay a flat subscription instead, plus payment processing.
Owner says it is month to month with no cancellation fees. AIOrders says cancel anytime and offers a money-back guarantee, see pricing.
AIOrders offers a flat-monthly plan with 0% order fees (see pricing; the entry plan adds a per-order fee), with an optional AI phone receptionist add-on.
