Food software pricing, October 2026

Computed from the 1,300 products in the directory. Generated 1 October 2026.

foodbusinessapps lists 1,300 software products for food businesses. 518 of them (40%) publish a starting price that we can express per month, and 603 (46%) are quote only or do not publish a price.

Median published monthly starting prices are USD 69 (216 products), EUR 49 (119 products), GBP 39 (55 products). Medians are not converted between currencies. 138 products state that they have a free plan; for 1,039 we do not know either way.

Method

  • What is counted. Every product listed in the directory on 1 October 2026: 1,300 products. Each product is counted once, in its main category.
  • Prices. We use the starting price the vendor publishes, converted to a monthly figure. A yearly price is divided by 12. A price quoted in any other period is left out. Prices are as published by vendors on the date each product was reviewed and may exclude tax. The billing unit differs between products (per location, per user, per device or a flat fee), so a median describes the published starting prices, not what a typical business pays.
  • Currencies. Medians are worked out separately for each currency and are never converted. A price written only with a dollar sign does not say which dollar, so it is labelled "currency not stated" and is not part of any median. 33 products with a monthly price are in that group. A currency appears in the site-wide figures only when at least 10 products have a price in it, and in a category row only when at least 3 do.
  • Medians. The median is the middle value. For an even count it is the mean of the two middle values. The 25th and 75th percentiles use linear interpolation.
  • Quote only. A product counts as quote only (or price not published) when its pricing model starts with "Quote only", or when it has no published starting price and its pricing model mentions a quote or says the price is not published. A pricing model that mentions a quote only for some plans does not count when a price is published. 8 products are labelled "Quote only" and also have a published price; they are counted as quote only.
  • Free plan. The share is of products where we know whether a free plan exists (261 of 1,300). Unknown is not counted as no.
  • Date. Generated on 1 October 2026 from the directory data as it stood that day. Spotted a wrong price? See corrections.
