Starter $9 a month, Pro $19 a month and Franchise $49 a month, each with a 14-day free trial and no credit card needed; the site shows earlier prices of $29, $79 and $199 as crossed out. Starter takes card payments only through Tap to Pay, while Pro adds Square or Stripe. There is no commission on orders, no hardware to buy and no setup fee; payment processor fees are separate.
