Alternatives to Arby's - Fast Food Sandwiches
By App Store Tracker Editorial · Updated — live App Store data verified
The short version
The Arby's app handles menu browsing, mobile ordering, and store deals for the sandwich chain. Reviewers want a real rewards program and smoother ordering. For a polished sandwich-chain app with loyalty built in, Jimmy John's is the strongest US pick. McDonald's offers the deals-and-rewards model Arby's users keep asking for, though its US app is separate. The list ranks by embedding similarity and live App Store ratings.
The app you searched for
Arby's
The Arby's app lets you browse the menu, order ahead, and grab deals at the meats-focused chain. Its reviews make the wish list clear: a points-based rewards program like the big chains, working coupons, and reliable mobile ordering with pickup options. The picks below are all restaurant ordering apps, but they vary a lot in scale. A couple are major chains with mature deals and rewards, like McDonald's and Jimmy John's. Most are small, regional burger and sandwich shops with their own branded ordering-and-rewards apps, often built on the same white-label platforms, and many have very few ratings. One is Arby's own non-US edition. We ranked these alternatives by embedding similarity to the Arby's app, then weighed live App Store ratings and review volume so the proven apps rise above brand-new listings. Keep in mind these only work at their own restaurants, so the right pick depends on which chain you actually eat at.
Why it's similar
Both are the official Arby's app for browsing sandwiches, finding locations, and viewing offers from the same chain. The Arby's menu and brand are shared directly.
How it differs
Arby's NON-US is the international edition and is explicitly not available in the US, so it serves overseas markets. With just 2 ratings it is a region-locked twin, not a usable alternative for US customers.
Why it's similar
Both are fast-food chain apps with tailored deals, a menu with nutrition info, and a restaurant finder. The order-and-save fast-food experience overlaps with Arby's.
How it differs
This McDonald's app is the non-US edition, so it works outside the US, and it offers the deals-and-games rewards model Arby's reviewers keep requesting. Its low 3.24 rating shows even big chains struggle with app reliability, but the loyalty approach is exactly what Arby's lacks.
Why it's similar
Both are fast-food ordering apps for browsing a menu and ordering from a specific restaurant. The order-from-the-menu purpose overlaps with Arby's.
How it differs
Monchy's Fast Food is a tiny single-restaurant app on a third-party ordering platform, not a national chain. With zero ratings it is brand-new and unproven, serving one local spot rather than Arby's nationwide footprint.
Why it's similar
Both are sandwich-focused ordering apps with mobile ordering and order tracking. The order-a-sandwich-ahead flow overlaps with Arby's, and its built-in rewards address a gap Arby's reviewers cite.
How it differs
Big City Sandwiches is a small local shop's branded app with a points reward system Arby's lacks, but it serves a single location. At only 2 ratings it is unproven and not a national alternative.
Why it's similar
Both let you browse a menu, customize items, pay securely, and get a notification when your order is ready. The customize-and-order-ahead flow matches the Arby's app.
How it differs
Scotty's Hamburgers is a single burger restaurant's app, not a national chain, and it adds delivery saving. With zero ratings it is brand-new and serves one location rather than Arby's many stores.
Why it's similar
Both are food-service apps for viewing a menu and what is available to eat. The browse-the-menu purpose overlaps loosely with Arby's.
How it differs
Mein Aramark Restaurant is a German workplace and campus dining app focused on daily menu plans, nutrition, and allergens, not quick-service ordering. It has zero ratings and serves a completely different catering context from Arby's.
Why it's similar
Both are sandwich-chain apps for ordering ahead and customizing your order from a national brand. The order-a-sandwich experience closely matches Arby's, and this app includes the loyalty features Arby's users want.
How it differs
Jimmy John's is a major US sandwich chain with a polished, heavily reviewed app at 1.5 million ratings and a 4.9 average. It is the strongest like-for-like sandwich alternative, known for fast ordering and delivery that outpaces the Arby's app.
Why it's similar
Both let you order ahead, save account info for reordering, earn loyalty points, and view order history. The order-and-earn-rewards flow matches what Arby's reviewers want.
How it differs
The Chicken Barn is a small single-restaurant app on the Zaytech platform, serving chicken at one location rather than a national chain. With 8 ratings it is tiny and local, not a broad Arby's substitute.
Why it's similar
Both let you browse a menu, customize items, and pay from your phone with order-ready notifications and rewards. The customize-and-order flow matches the Arby's app.
How it differs
Shortstops Burgers is a local burger shop's branded app on the Zaytech platform, not a chain. At a single rating it is essentially untested and serves one location rather than Arby's nationwide stores.
Why it's similar
Both let you track purchases, earn rewards, and reach loyalty milestones through a restaurant app. The earn-rewards-for-loyalty model is exactly what Arby's reviewers ask for.
How it differs
Archie's Giant Hamburgers is a single restaurant's app focused on its own breakfast and burger menu, not a national chain. With zero ratings it is brand-new and local, not an Arby's-scale alternative.
Every app in our database carries a dense vector embedding derived from its title, subtitle, full description, and category metadata. To find apps similar to Arby's - Fast Food Sandwiches, we compute cosine distance against every other app and surface the closest 60 candidates. The similarity score shown on each pick is 1 - distance/2 clamped to [0,1] — 100% means the embedding spaces are identical, 0% means orthogonal.
We then re-rank the candidate set using current App Store rating and review-count signals so a 4.8-star app with 100,000 reviews ranks above a 4.5-star app with 200 reviews even when their embedding distance is similar. Apps that haven't shipped an update in 12 months are filtered out before re-ranking.
The similarity cache is recomputed weekly. Live App Store data (rating, review count) is verified every 6 hours.
