See what commission is really costing you.
Delivery apps take a cut of every order. Pop in your numbers to see what that adds up to a year, next to Sizzle’s flat pricing.
That’s about 1,200 orders and £14,400 a month through your own app.
You’d keep an extra
£4,011/mo
That’s £48,132 a year — and £144,396 over three.
Sizzle figures use the Pro plan (£69/mo + 20p per order). Commission rates vary by app and plan, so treat this as a guide, not a quote.
No tricks. Here’s exactly how it adds up.
We’d rather show our working than ask you to take a number on faith. These are the live figures from your inputs above.

We assume 30 days a month and that the orders you enter currently run through a delivery app charging commission. Your real saving depends on how many of your orders that’s true for.
The saving isn’t a discount. It’s a better model.
No percentage commissions
Commission grows with every sale. A fixed fee per order doesn't — and you can pass it to the customer at checkout, so your cost stays a flat monthly plan, however busy you get.
Your customers stay yours
No middleman renting you back your own regulars. They order in your app, under your brand, and come straight to you.
You own the relationship
Order history, contact details, and loyalty all sit with you — so you can bring customers back with a push, not a paid ad.

The numbers, explained.
How is the saving worked out?
We take your orders a day and average order value to get your monthly revenue, then apply the commission rate to see what a delivery app skims off the top. Sizzle's cost is our flat Pro plan (£69/mo) plus a small 20p fee per order. The saving is the difference between the two.
Does Sizzle take a commission?
No. Sizzle never takes a percentage of your sales. You pay a flat monthly plan and a small, fixed 20p per order on Pro — a cost you always know in advance, whether the order is £5 or £50.
What commission do delivery apps actually charge?
It varies by app and plan, but third-party delivery apps typically take somewhere between 20% and 35% of each order. We use 30% as a sensible midpoint, and you can change the rate in the calculator to match what you actually pay.
What is the per-order fee for?
The small flat fee covers hosting and running your app. You choose whether to absorb it or add it to the customer's total at checkout, so it never has to come out of your margin.
Are there setup fees or a contract?
No setup fees and no long contract. There's a 30-day free trial, and you can cancel any time.
What if my orders don't currently go through a delivery app?
Then the headline saving won't apply the same way — but you still get your own branded app, keep your customers and their data, and pay a flat fee instead of commission as you grow. The calculator shows the break-even point for your numbers.
Stop paying for every order twice.
Get your own branded app, keep your customers, and pay a flat fee — not a slice of every sale.
