Onfleet pricing, as Onfleet publishes it

Onfleet is a last-mile delivery platform for shippers and couriers. It has a page for meal kit and meal prep delivery, and it lists healthcare, grocery and retail customers. It describes dispatching your own fleet and courier partners from one platform.

Launch is from US$619 a month and includes 2,500 completed deliveries a month. Scale is from US$1,349 and includes 5,000. Enterprise is custom, for 10,000 or more. Onfleet bills only deliveries that reach Completed. Going over your included deliveries does not stop you. Extra deliveries are billed per task, and the page does not publish the rate. A Courier Suite add-on starts at US$299 a month. SMS is billed by usage, at US$0.026 a segment in Canada. Onfleet offers a free trial. The page does not state its length for Launch.

What 100, 500, 1,000 and 2,500 stops cost

We treat one stop as one Onfleet delivery. Our stop is one drop-off address, so two orders at one door count once. Dollars below are converted at CA$1.38 to US$1, which is our assumption, not a quoted rate.

100 stops a month: Onfleet US$619. pickup.kitchen CA$0.
500 stops a month: Onfleet US$619. pickup.kitchen CA$40, about US$29.
1,000 stops a month: Onfleet US$619. pickup.kitchen CA$90, about US$65.
2,500 stops a month: Onfleet US$619, with every included delivery used. pickup.kitchen CA$180, about US$130.
5,000 stops a month: Onfleet Scale from US$1,349. pickup.kitchen CA$330, about US$239.
Stops that come from pickup.kitchen orders cost nothing extra. Stops you add by hand are billed at the rates above.

What Onfleet does better

Onfleet is built for a bigger operation than most kitchens, and it has real depth there.

Scale. Plans go to 5,000 and 10,000+ deliveries, with multi-brand and multi-region support on Enterprise.
Hybrid fleets. Dispatch your own drivers and courier partners from one platform.
Integrations. An API and webhooks on every plan, pre-built integrations such as Shopify, and a mobile SDK on higher plans.
Verification. Photo and signature on Launch. Barcode scanning and age verification by ID scan on Scale, and recipient PIN on Enterprise.
Operations. Dynamic ETA notifications, an operational command center and delay alerts, plus analytics.
Security and compliance. SOC 2 Type II, with HIPAA support listed, and SAML single sign-on on Enterprise.

Where pickup.kitchen differs

Onfleet's meal-prep page talks about live ETAs, photo proof and tight windows. It is a delivery tool, so the order still has to come from somewhere else. With pickup.kitchen the guest orders on yourname.pickup.kitchen and pays by card, and the delivery lands on your board as a stop. Meal-plan delivery days become stops too.

The day runs like a kitchen's day. You plan routes the night before, tap Optimize, and tap Send to driver. The driver can start tomorrow's route early and choose where to finish. The driver must take a photo before Delivered turns on, and pay is worked out to the last delivery.

The kitchen screen, the counter, the customer list and marketing emails are in the same login. There is no monthly minimum. A kitchen with 80 drops a month pays nothing for the driver app.

What pickup.kitchen does not do

We have no API, SDK or enterprise security certification. We have no courier network and no hybrid fleet: every driver is yours. We do not take signatures or scan IDs, and we do not plan delivery time windows per stop or vehicle capacity. If you ship across a region or need compliance paperwork, Onfleet is the grown-up choice.

Who should pick which

Pick Onfleet if you run thousands of deliveries a month, mix couriers with your own fleet, or need an API, ID checks or compliance. Pick pickup.kitchen if you cook the food, sell it on your own site and deliver with your own drivers. It fits from a few dozen drops a month to a few thousand. The driver app is also sold on its own from 100 stops free, then CA$0.10 a stop.
