Questions
Which is cheaper, Chefzi or Aexir?
On monthly price, Chefzi starts lower: £12 a month (£9 billed annually) against Aexir's £30. With an app, website and till, Chefzi Pro is £49 (£39 billed annually) and Aexir Pro is £50. Card fees differ too: Aexir charges 2.5% + 30p per card payment; on Chefzi you pay your own processor's rate.
Which one has a customer app on both app stores?
Aexir. Its app plans include a branded iOS and Android app. Chefzi's branded customer app is Android, on Pro; customers on any phone, including iPhones, can order on your Chefzi website in the browser.
What is Aexir's card fee?
Aexir's pricing page (read 12 November 2026) says card payments are 2.5% + 30p per transaction through Stripe in the UK, which includes a 1% + 10p Aexir platform contribution.
Does Chefzi charge a fee on card payments?

Can Chefzi send couriers like Aexir?
No. Chefzi uses your own drivers with delivery zones, each with its own fee, minimum and time. Aexir lists partner courier delivery, charged per delivery, in the UK.

When we read it on 12 November 2026, it quoted Chefzi figures checked on 26 October 2026 (two plans, £9 and £19). Chefzi now has three plans: Starter £12 (£9 billed annually), Plus £22 (£19) and Pro £49 (£39), per location, ex VAT.
More detail
Updated 12 November 2026 · By Arslan Munir
In short: Aexir sells a branded iOS and Android app, an ordering website and a browser till from £30 to £50 a month ex VAT, with card payments at 2.5% + 30p through Stripe (which, Aexir says, includes a 1% + 10p Aexir platform contribution). Chefzi sells an ordering website on every plan from £12 a month (£9 billed annually), card payments on Plus through your own processor, and a branded Android app, loyalty rewards and the browser till on Pro at £49 (£39 billed annually), per location, excluding VAT, with 0% commission and the first month free. Pick Aexir if an app on both stores or courier dispatch matters most; pick Chefzi if you want a lower monthly price and your processor's own card rate.

Card fees: a worked example
Our arithmetic, not a quote. A restaurant taking 300 card orders a month at £20 each (£6,000):
- Aexir: 2.5% + 30p per transaction = £150 + £90 = £240 a month in card fees, of which Aexir says 1% + 10p (here £90) is its platform contribution.
- Chefzi with Stripe at its standard UK card rate of 1.5% + 20p (stripe.com/gb/pricing, read 12 November 2026) = £90 + £60 = £150 a month, paid to Stripe on your own account. Chefzi takes nothing from the order. Your rate may differ, and Square, Worldpay or PayPal have their own.
Add the plan: Aexir Pro £50 + £240 = £290 a month; Chefzi Pro £49 (or £39 billed annually) + £150 = £199 a month. On cash orders, neither adds a card fee.
Where Aexir is stronger
- A customer app on both the App Store and Google Play from £30 a month. Chefzi's branded customer app is Android only, on Pro; iPhone customers order on your website in the browser.
- Courier dispatch per delivery in the UK, alongside your own drivers. Chefzi does not book couriers.
- Loyalty and push from the lowest app plan. On Chefzi, loyalty rewards are on Pro.
- A published company record (Aexir Digital Ltd, Companies House 14795619) and named founder on its pricing page.
Where Chefzi is stronger
- Lower entry price: £12 a month (£9 billed annually) for an ordering website on your own domain.
- Your own card processor's rate, with no platform contribution taken from each card payment.
- Your own domain on every plan. Aexir's pricing page shows its website at yourname.aexir.com and does not mention using your own domain.
- First month free with no credit card, menu moved for you, live in 24 to 48 hours.
- Offline alerts: if the device is offline when an order arrives, Chefzi texts the restaurant and automatically calls your mobile or phone line.
