Questions
How much does Aexir cost?
According to Aexir's pricing page (read 10 November 2026), Web is £30 a month ex VAT, Starter £30, Plus £40 and Pro £50. Card payments are 2.5% + 30p per transaction through Stripe, additional locations are £1 a day each, and app plans need an app store developer account from £30 a year through Aexir.
What does Chefzi cost?
Chefzi is from £9 a month per location billed annually (£12 if billed monthly), excluding VAT, with the first month free and no credit card to start. Plus is £19 (£22 monthly) and Pro £39 (£49 monthly). There is no commission on any plan.
Does Chefzi have its own branded app like Aexir?
Yes, on the Pro plan. Starter and Plus take orders on your own ordering website, which customers use from a browser with nothing to download. Aexir puts its native app on every app plan from £30 a month.
Does Chefzi have menu scheduling by time and day?
No. Aexir lists menu scheduling by time and day on its Web and Pro plans. Chefzi has no timed menus, so you mark items out of stock or pause ordering yourself.
Can I keep Just Eat or Deliveroo as well?
Yes with either. Aexir says it runs alongside Just Eat, Deliveroo and Uber Eats but is not connected to them, so marketplace orders stay on the marketplace. The same is true of Chefzi, and orders placed on those apps still pay those apps' commission.
More detail
Updated 10 November 2026 · By Arslan Munir
Aexir sells restaurants their own branded app, ordering website and browser till for a flat monthly fee. Chefzi is website-first: online ordering on your own domain from £9 a month, with the branded app and till on the Pro plan. This page compares them using Aexir's own published figures (read 10 November 2026; the page itself says "Checked 28 October 2026") and Chefzi's live plans.
The short version
- Aexir (its pricing page): Web £30 a month ex VAT (ordering website and browser till, no app), Starter £30 (native iOS and Android app), Plus £40 (app and website), Pro £50 (app, website and till). Card payments 2.5% + 30p through Stripe. Extra locations £1 a day each. App plans need an app store developer account: £30 a year through Aexir, or about £130 a year on your own accounts.
- Chefzi: Starter from £9 a month billed annually (£12 monthly), Plus £19 (£22), Pro £39 (£49), per location, excluding VAT, first month free. Ordering website and your own domain on every plan, 0% commission ever. Your own branded customer app and the browser till (Chefzi POS) are on Pro. See Chefzi pricing.
Year-one cost, worked out
These sums use each company's published monthly prices, excluding VAT and before card fees. They are arithmetic, not a quote for your shop.
| Aexir (its page) | Chefzi | |
|---|---|---|
| Website only | Web: £30 × 12 = £360 (includes the browser till) | Starter: £9 × 12 = £108 billed annually, or £12 × 12 = £144 monthly |
| Website and card payments | Web £360, card payments at 2.5% + 30p | Plus: £19 × 12 = £228 billed annually, or £22 × 12 = £264 monthly |
| App, website and till | Pro: £50 × 12 + £30 developer account = £630 | Pro: £39 × 12 = £468 billed annually, or £49 × 12 = £588 monthly |
Card fees are separate on both. Aexir lists 2.5% + 30p per card transaction through Stripe; on Chefzi, card payments on Plus and above go through Stripe Connect, Square, Worldpay or PayPal, so rates depend on the processor you choose. Ask each provider for the full per-order cost in writing.
What Aexir says is included
From Aexir's pricing page (read 10 November 2026):
- Branded native iOS and Android app on Starter, Plus and Pro, with loyalty, offers, push notifications, QR table ordering and a native till app listed on the app plans.
- A branded ordering website on Web, Plus and Pro (or £10 a month added to Starter), listed as yourname.aexir.com.
- A browser till and back office ("POS on the Go") on Web and Pro, with menu scheduling by time and day, stock control and per-branch delivery zones listed.
- Delivery and collection on every plan, with scheduled orders. Partner courier delivery in the UK is charged per delivery; you can use your own drivers.
- Aexir builds your menu for you. It runs alongside Just Eat, Deliveroo and Uber Eats but is not connected to them.
What Chefzi includes
- Ordering website and your own domain on every plan, 0% commission ever, no set-up fee, and your menu moved for you at no charge.
- Orders arrive in the Chefzi app on a phone or tablet you already own, and ring until you accept or reject them.
- Collection hours and delivery hours set separately, delivery zones with their own fee, minimum and time, and pre-orders with a lead time set for the location.
- QR table ordering, table reservations and ordering that can be paused or an item marked out of stock.
- Card payments on Plus and above through Stripe Connect, Square, Worldpay or PayPal. Cash on collection and cash on delivery on every plan.
- Your own branded customer app and the browser till on Pro.
Where Chefzi does less
Honest limits, so you can compare like for like: Chefzi has no menu scheduling by time and day, no per-item lead time, no cap on orders per time slot and no courier integrations. Aexir lists menu scheduling and partner courier dispatch; Chefzi does not.
Aexir might suit you if
- You want a native app for your regulars from £30 a month, and loyalty and push notifications are a priority.
- You want menu scheduling by time and day, or partner courier delivery per order.
- You are happy to pay a card rate of 2.5% + 30p and an app store developer account on app plans.
Chefzi might suit you if
- You want online ordering on your own domain from £9 a month and don't need a native app yet.
- You prefer your first month free with no credit card, and plans billed monthly or yearly.
- You want to start with the website and move to a branded app and till on Pro later.
- You want a choice of card processor on Plus and above.
