GoPrep works for a lot of kitchens. But past 100 orders a month, with regular texts and your own deliveries, the bill climbs fast. Here are five alternatives, ranked, with prices from each company's own website.
The short answer: Prepwork is the best GoPrep alternative.
It's $9 a month flat with unlimited orders. Texts are 2¢ instead of 8¢ plus $15 a month, and route planning and a driver app are built in. A kitchen doing 150 orders and 1,500 texts a month pays $384 on GoPrep and $39 on Prepwork. That's $4,140 a year back in your pocket.
Four things push kitchens to look around. Each one comes straight from GoPrep's own pricing and features pages.
The jump at 100 orders
Starter is $95 a month but stops at 100 orders. Order 101 puts you on Pro at $249, $154 more for one extra order.
Texting adds up
A $15 a month add on, then 8¢ a text. At 1,500 texts, that's $135 a month.
Delivery day isn't covered
GoPrep handles delivery days, distance, hours and fees. Route planning, a driver app and arrival texts are not listed on its site.
The website costs extra
A GoPrep hosted website is $299 to set up plus $19 a month. SEO is another $29 a month.
GoPrep also lists a nutrition facts generator, label printing and inventory. Prepwork shows calories and macros on every meal, and the founder builds anything more your kitchen needs. Our full GoPrep pricing breakdown walks through every fee.

Shopify with apps
A strong general store builder that needs extra apps to work for meal prep.
Shopify Basic is $39 a month ($29 billed yearly). Zapiet for pickup and delivery adds $49.99 to $179.99 a month.
Subscriptions, texting and route planning are each another app and another bill. That's about $89+ a month before any of them.
5.9 / 10
$89+per month with apps
Also considered: KitchenFuel (Canada, says it has no transaction fees) and Happy Meal Prep (branded customer app). Both hide pricing behind a demo, so we couldn't compare them.
What each alternative costs next to GoPrep
Same kitchen everywhere: 150 orders and 1,500 texts a month, billed monthly. Card processing is 2.9% + 30¢ on all of them, so it's left out.

How switching from GoPrep works
Switching sounds like a lot. Here's how the move to Prepwork actually goes, step by step.
Build your new store while GoPrep is still running. You pay nothing until you go live.
Send over your GoPrep export. Menus and customers are imported for you, usually the same day. Spreadsheets or menu screenshots work too.
Bring your saved cards. If your customers' cards are saved on Stripe, they can transfer.
Ask subscribers to re-tick their weekly box. Subscriptions can't move automatically, so each subscriber does this once. A quick text to your list is an easy way to ask.
Move your texting number. If you control your number, it moves over in 2 to 4 weeks. Or start with a new local number in your area code in a few days.
Go live, then cancel GoPrep. Every new kitchen gets a free setup call with a real person.
"Now that I am using their platform I am saving thousands of dollars every year," says Brekyn Swanson, owner of PBB Meal Prep. Want the full head to head? Read Prepwork vs GoPrep.
Our pick: Prepwork. $9 a month, unlimited orders, texts at a quarter of GoPrep's price, and delivery day built in. Need something it doesn't do yet? The founder builds it.
Prepwork. It's $9 a month flat with unlimited orders, texts are 2¢ a segment instead of 8¢ plus $15 a month, and route planning, a driver app and arrival texts are built in. At 150 orders and 1,500 texts a month, GoPrep costs $384 and Prepwork costs $39.
Is there a cheaper alternative to GoPrep?
Yes. Prepwork is $9 a month with unlimited orders. Bottle has a free Starter plan, but customers pay a 5% service fee and subscriptions start on the $99 Growth plan. Sprwt and MealTrack cost about the same as GoPrep or more.
Which GoPrep alternative has route planning and a driver app?
Prepwork is the only one we checked with both built in. Bottle syncs orders to outside routing partners, and Sprwt sells route planning as a separate product called Rootplanner. None of the others list a driver app. More in our guide to meal prep delivery software.
Will I lose GoPrep's nutrition labels if I switch?
GoPrep has a nutrition facts generator and label printing. Bottle, Sprwt and MealTrack also list labels. Prepwork shows calories and macros on every meal, and the founder builds anything more your kitchen needs.
