Popmenu pricing in 2026
Popmenu sells restaurant websites with marketing tools, and it does not publish its prices. Reviews in 2026 report three plans at $179 a month ($159 billed annually), $299 and $499, with online ordering sold as an add-on at roughly $50 a month plus a $1 per-order fee charged to the customer, a 3% fee on catering orders, and AI phone answering at about $150 a month for 500 calls. Additional locations are reported at around $300 a month each. None of this is on Popmenu's site, so every figure here is reported.
Popmenu does not publish this on its own site. Figures below are from named 2026 third-party reviews and are labeled as reported; the vendor's quote is the authority. Checked September 2026.

Because online ordering is an add-on at every reported tier, a restaurant that mainly wants ordering pays the base plan plus the add-on: roughly $229 a month at Starter before the per-order fee.
The $1 per order, compared
Popmenu's reported $1 per-order fee is charged to the customer, as Ginger Direct's is. The difference is the monthly line: Popmenu's ordering sits on top of a reported $179 to $499 plan plus about $50 for the add-on, while Ginger Direct is $0 a month. On the AI phone line, Popmenu's reported $150 a month for 500 calls compares with Ginger's $250 a month add-on that reads the live POS menu and prints orders in the kitchen.
