Foodomaa vs Enatega: Source Code, Price and Stack (2026)

Enatega and Foodomaa now use similar language: one-time payment, full source code, no monthly fee, no commission. The difference is in the stack, the pricing model and the breadth of the product. Enatega is a JavaScript/React Native platform with 33 verticals and a quote-based Lite or Premium package. Foodomaa is a PHP/MySQL food-delivery licence with a published $299 price.

That makes this less of a feature fight and more of a fit decision. If your team writes JavaScript and you need food, grocery, courier, laundry or ride-sharing in one app, Enatega deserves a serious look. If you want a food-first product with a transparent price and a stack your PHP developer can own, Foodomaa is simpler.

Disclosure and check date. This page is maintained by Foodomaa. Enatega's model, features and package contents were checked on 3 November 2026 on enatega.com. Enatega does not publish a price and can change its packages; confirm the current scope with its team. Foodomaa and Enatega are separate products from separate companies.

What changed at Enatega

Enatega used to be described as “open-source frontend, proprietary backend.” Its current site sells a one-time full-source package instead. The homepage says the team hands over the complete codebase and that there is no licence restriction, no feature gating and no monthly fee. Its FAQ describes two plans: Lite, where you get the full source code and deploy it yourself, and Premium, where Enatega's team deploys it and submits the apps to the stores.

The public GitHub repository still matters, but it is a shop window, not the whole commercial package. The homepage shows 1,414 GitHub stars, 200+ platforms deployed since 2019, 40+ countries and 33 verticals. Those are Enatega's published numbers, not independently audited. The practical questions are which repository you receive, whether the backend is included, and what the licence allows after handover.

Where Enatega is stronger

• Breadth. Food, grocery, pharmacy, courier, laundry, beauty, ride-sharing and more in one codebase. A super-app plan is a real requirement for some operators; Foodomaa is food-first.
• JavaScript stack. A React Native/Node team can extend Enatega without learning PHP. That can be cheaper than retraining or hiring.
• Founder-led deployment. Premium includes team deployment and app-store submission. For a buyer with no technical team, that reduces launch risk.
• Public proof. Enatega publishes case studies and operator testimonials. Foodomaa has the PideloGO deployment, but a smaller public case-study library.
• Quote-based scope. If your requirements are unusual, a scoped quote can include work that a fixed $299 licence does not.

Where Foodomaa is stronger

• Published price. $299 is on the site. You do not need a sales call to know the licence cost.
• Food-first simplicity. A restaurant marketplace does not need 33 verticals, a super-app shell or the configuration that comes with them.
• PHP/MySQL stack. Shared hosting and a large PHP developer market make the total cost of ownership easier to forecast in many countries.
• Installation and 30-day support. The licence includes installation and a defined bug-fix window, with a direct line to the product team.
• One bundle. Customer, restaurant and rider apps, web storefront, admin and source are included without addon maths.

The price question

Foodomaa's price is public: $299 one-time. Enatega's is quote-based. That is not automatically worse — a quote can include deployment, app-store submission and scope that a fixed licence does not — but it makes comparison harder. Ask Enatega for a line-item quote covering the codebase, apps, deployment, store submission, support, updates and any vertical or custom work. Then compare the total to Foodomaa plus the same scope.

Do not compare a $299 licence with an Enatega quote that includes a deployment team and assume the difference is pure software margin. Conversely, do not assume the Enatega quote is all-in: server, payment gateway, SMS, maps, app-store accounts and custom work are usually separate in both models.

Stack fit: PHP or JavaScript?

If your developer writes PHP, Foodomaa is the lower-risk choice. The code, database and server model are familiar, and the pool of PHP developers is deep. If your developer writes React Native and Node, Enatega avoids a stack rewrite. The most expensive outcome is buying either product and paying an agency to learn the stack on your budget.

Ask for the repository layout, database schema, build instructions and one sample customisation before you commit. A vendor that cannot explain how the apps talk to the backend will be expensive to work with, regardless of the licence label.

What the public GitHub does and does not prove

Enatega’s public repositories are useful evidence: they show the app code, the commit history and the developer community around the product. The homepage displays 1,414 GitHub stars. That is a credibility signal, but it is not the same as a legal right to the whole stack. A public frontend can coexist with a commercial backend licence, and a commercial “full source” package can include code that is not in the public repo.

Ask for the exact repository list, the backend source, the database schema and the licence text you will receive after payment. If the sales answer is “it is all open source”, ask which OSI licence applies. If the answer is “it is source-available under our commercial licence”, that is a legitimate model — just compare it on the same terms as Foodomaa’s commercial source-code licence.

A three-year view

Foodomaa’s software cost is easy to model: $299 once, plus a VPS at roughly $10–$20 a month and whatever maintenance you choose. Enatega’s software cost is the quoted Lite or Premium package, plus hosting, deployment and support after the included period. The overlap is large; the difference is the stack, the scope and how much of the launch is done for you.

Put both quotes in the same spreadsheet: licence or package, deployment, branding, payment integration, app-store submission, support, updates, one custom report and 20 developer hours. The lowest software line is not necessarily the lowest three-year cost. A cheaper licence that needs 80 hours of stack learning can lose to a higher quote that includes deployment and a stack your team already knows.

Food-only or super app?

Enatega's 33 verticals are an advantage only if you will actually run more than food. A grocery module, a courier flow and a ride-sharing flow each add configuration, support and operational complexity. If your first year is a restaurant marketplace in one city, a food-first product is easier to launch and cheaper to maintain.

If the plan genuinely includes grocery and pharmacy in the first quarter, or a super-app pitch is central to your funding story, Enatega's breadth may justify the quote. Be honest about the roadmap; buying breadth you will not use is a common way to slow a launch.

Deployment, support and updates

Foodomaa includes installation and 30 days of bug-fix support. After that, updates and custom work are your responsibility or a separate agreement. Enatega's Lite plan assumes you deploy; Premium includes deployment and app submission. Its support and update terms are part of the quote, so ask for them in writing.

In both cases, clarify what “support” covers. A bug fix, an installation, a payment-gateway integration and a new feature are four different tickets with four different prices. Also ask how updates are delivered after the handover and whether they are included or quoted separately.

What to ask Enatega before you buy

1. Which repositories and which backend code are included in Lite and Premium?
2. What exactly does the licence allow: client work, multiple domains, resale, white-label?
3. Is deployment included, and which app stores are covered?
4. What is the support period, response time and update policy?
5. Which payment gateways work in our country, and which need custom work?
6. Can you provide a line-item quote with the same scope we would give Foodomaa?
7. What happens to the apps and data if we change developers or stop working with you?

Migrating from Enatega to Foodomaa

There is no automated migration. Budget for a developer and a parallel-running period.

1. Export vendors, menus, categories, modifiers, customers, addresses, orders and settlements.
2. Map the schema: vendor IDs, option groups, zone rules, commission rates and order statuses rarely map one-to-one.
3. Rebuild menus and photos; do not trust a bulk import for modifier pricing.
4. Reconnect payments with new merchant keys and sandbox tests.
5. Rebuild the apps with new package/bundle IDs, signing keys and push credentials.
6. Redirect the old store, vendor and menu URLs with 301s.
7. Run a small set of orders in parallel, then close the old platform after one full payout cycle.

Who should choose neither

Neither product is a fully managed marketplace. If you want someone else to run uptime, support, payment disputes and rider operations 24/7, a hosted SaaS or a managed service is the more honest choice. If your routing, dispatch or compliance model is genuinely novel, a custom build may be cheaper over three years than forcing either product into a workflow it was not designed for.

Also walk away if the vendor cannot give you the licence text, the repository scope and a written support boundary before payment. A one-time licence is only an asset if you can actually use, maintain and hand over what you bought.

Verdict

Choose Foodomaa if you want a food-first, PHP/MySQL platform with a published $299 price, apps and installation included, and you do not need a multi-vertical super app. Choose Enatega if your team writes JavaScript, you need several verticals or a super-app roadmap, and you are comfortable with a quote-based Lite or Premium package.

Both are legitimate one-time source-code models. The decision should come down to stack, scope and total launch cost — not the phrase “open source” on either site.
