Beyond price
Branding
Template-based on most platforms, with custom design quoted separately. Ours: your colours to the button text, four layouts, your photos, no template feel.
Texting
An add-on with a monthly fee and per-text charges elsewhere. Built in on Growth, running through Twilio at their rate, with carrier registration and replies handled.
Leaving
Lock-in is the quiet cost: annual terms, termination fees, exports you have to ask for. Ours is month to month with a self-serve export.
Early access, a few kitchens at a time
