Comparison
TableGo vs Quandoo
Avoid setup fees and per-guest marketplace cover fees
Quandoo includes a diner marketplace, but UK pricing can include a one-time setup fee and per-guest cover fees for bookings that come via the Quandoo Network. TableGo keeps costs simple with transparent flat pricing—no setup fee, no per-cover charges, and everything focused on your direct bookings.
