Alternatives to Postmates - Food Delivery
By App Store Tracker Editorial · Updated — App Store ratings fetched to
The short version
Postmates, now run by Uber, delivers food and groceries from local restaurants, though reviewers cite late or wrong orders and weak support. The closest match is Uber Eats, its own parent platform with the same network at huge scale. DoorDash is the biggest US rival, and Beyond Menu focuses on independent restaurants with low fees. Several other picks serve Canada or the UK, or are driver and merchant tools. Pick by coverage in your area and fees.

Uber Technologies, Inc.
Eats, groceries, and more.
People look for Postmates alternatives after late deliveries, missing items, or unhelpful customer service, or because Postmates now overlaps heavily with Uber Eats. The seed delivers restaurant food and groceries with live order tracking. The picks here share that purpose: browse nearby restaurants and stores, order delivery or pickup, and track it in real time. Some are major US platforms, others serve other countries, and a few are driver or merchant companion apps. We ranked them by embedding similarity to Postmates, then weighed live App Store ratings and review volume. We flag which are US consumer apps versus the non-US or non-customer tools.

Why it's similar
DoorDash is the largest US delivery rival, with a 4.77 rating across 22,000,000+ reviews, delivering food, groceries, and more with broad restaurant coverage and live tracking, directly matching Postmates's purpose at the biggest scale.
How it differs
DoorDash uses its own DashPass subscription and fee structure rather than Postmates's, so pricing and perks differ. Its restaurant lineup and promotions vary from the seed, though coverage is typically wider.
Why it's similar
Deliveroo delivers restaurant meals, groceries, and convenience items in minutes from top brands and local gems, sharing Postmates's fast, anything-to-your-door delivery. Its 4.64 rating across 200,000+ reviews shows wide use.
How it differs
Deliveroo operates outside the US, mainly in the UK and Europe, so its coverage does not serve US customers. Its restaurant and grocery network is region-specific rather than matching the seed's US footprint.
Why it's similar
Beyond Menu is a strong US alternative focused on independent restaurants, with pickup or delivery, transparent menu prices, and no hidden fees, appealing to Postmates users tired of surcharges. Its 4.81 rating across 126,000+ reviews is excellent.
How it differs
Beyond Menu deliberately excludes big chains, so its selection is narrower than Postmates's broad lineup. Coverage centers on local independent restaurants, which may be thinner in some areas than the seed's network.
Why it's similar
Just Eat delivers food and groceries from big brands and local shops with a wide selection and door-to-door tracking, sharing Postmates's order-anything-to-your-door convenience. Its 4.74 rating across 9,248 reviews is strong.
How it differs
Just Eat operates primarily in the UK and Europe, so its coverage is irrelevant for US customers. Its restaurant network and grocery partners serve those markets rather than the seed's US base.
SkipTheDishes Restaurant Services Inc.
Why it's similar
Skip delivers food and groceries from restaurants and stores with the same browse-order-track flow Postmates users know, trusted by 5M+ customers across hundreds of cities. Its 4.66 rating across 7,588 reviews is solid.
How it differs
Skip (SkipTheDishes) is Canada's delivery app, so its coverage is Canadian and irrelevant for US customers. Its restaurant network and pricing serve Canada rather than the seed's US base.
Why it's similar
Heyfood offers delivery from local and national restaurants with real-time tracking and pickup options, sharing Postmates's order-and-track convenience across many cuisines. Its 4.59 rating across 1,753 reviews is decent.
How it differs
Heyfood is a smaller platform with limited geographic coverage compared with Postmates's Uber-backed network. Its restaurant selection and reliability are less proven, so availability depends heavily on your location.
GETFOOD DELIVERY AND LOGISTICS SERVICES
Why it's similar
GetFood delivers from local and national restaurants with browse-order-track simplicity and order-ahead pickup, sharing Postmates's core restaurant-delivery experience.
How it differs
GetFood has no App Store ratings yet, so its coverage and reliability are unproven against Postmates. Its restaurant network is likely far smaller, making availability in your area uncertain compared with the established seed.
Why it's similar
JustEat Courier is part of the Just Eat network and lets people earn by delivering food on a flexible schedule, touching the delivery world Postmates operates in.
How it differs
It is a courier earning app, not a consumer ordering app, so you cannot order food with it like Postmates. It also serves non-US markets and has no App Store ratings here, making it irrelevant for US diners.
