Looking for a FoodTiger alternative?
FoodTiger is a CodeCanyon script; Foodomaa is a direct licence. The difference is less about a feature checklist and more about what is included, who supports you and how much you have to assemble yourself.
Disclosure. This page is maintained by Foodomaa. FoodTiger's price, app availability, licence and support terms are on its CodeCanyon item page and can change. We have not fixed those terms here as permanent facts; verify them on the FoodTiger item page before buying. Foodomaa and FoodTiger are separate products from separate sellers; neither represents the other.
The short answer
Foodomaa is the all-in purchase: $299 once for the customer, restaurant and rider apps, web storefront, admin panel and full source code, with installation and 30 days of bug-fix support. FoodTiger is a CodeCanyon item: the entry price may be lower, but you need to verify what the item includes, how long support lasts, whether the apps are included and what your developer must assemble.

Why buyers look for a FoodTiger alternative
CodeCanyon is a marketplace, not a product company. That has advantages — reviews, item history, a standard buyer fee — and disadvantages. The most common reasons buyers look elsewhere are:
- Support scope. Item support covers the item as sold. It is not a custom development retainer, and it ends.
- App clarity. Customers, restaurant and rider apps may be separate items or addons. The listing does not always make the total obvious.
- Maintenance risk. A marketplace item can go quiet. You need a changelog, a recent update and a developer who can take over.
- Licence limits. One end product, client work, multiple domains and resale are separate questions under the Envato licence.
- Implementation. A script is not a launch. Installation, branding, payments, maps, SMS, app-store publishing and testing are still your project.
What to verify on the FoodTiger item page
- The current item price and the buyer fee at checkout.
- Whether customer, restaurant and rider apps are included or sold separately.
- The support period and what the seller explicitly excludes.
- The last update date and the changelog. A low price is not a bargain if the item is stale.
- Whether the code is unencrypted and can be extended by your developer.
- Which payment gateways are supported in your country.
- The licence: one end product, client work, multiple domains, resale.
- Whether a live demo runs the same version you are buying.
The real cost of a CodeCanyon script
The item price is the first line, not the launch budget. A realistic cost stack looks like this:
| Cost line | What to budget |
|---|---|
| Item price | The current CodeCanyon price |
| Buyer fee | Added at checkout; depends on the buyer's location |
| Apps and addons | Anything not included in the base item |
| Installation | Server, database, SSL, cron, queue, email |
| Branding | Logo, colours, app icons, splash, legal pages |
| Payments | Gateway setup, webhook testing, refunds, reconciliation |
| App-store publishing | Developer accounts, signing, screenshots, review |
| Developer time | The gaps between the demo and your operation |
| Support extension | If the included period is too short for launch |
These are categories, not FoodTiger quotes. Fill them with the current item page and your developer's estimate. A lower item price can still produce a higher launch cost once the missing pieces are added.
What the $299 Foodomaa licence includes
- Customer web storefront and customer app
- Restaurant/partner panel and app
- Rider app with order queue and delivery tracking
- Admin panel for outlets, orders, zones, delivery fees and payments
- Full PHP/MySQL source code
- Installation on your VPS and 30 days of bug-fix support
No monthly licence fee and no delivery fee to Foodomaa. You pay your server, payment gateway, SMS, maps and any custom work separately. The trade-off is a smaller addon ecosystem than the largest marketplace products and a 30-day bug-fix window rather than a six-month item-support period.
Support, updates and documentation
Foodomaa includes installation and 30 days of bug-fix support. The docs cover the install, server setup, payments, delivery zones, delivery fees, notifications, languages, Android/iOS builds, backups, security and performance. There are 22 pages, written for operators rather than developers.
FoodTiger's support runs through the CodeCanyon item page. Check the included period, the seller's response history and whether the item is actively updated. If you need a long support window, price the extension before you compare the totals.
In both cases, a support ticket is not a build contract. Installation, a payment integration, a new report and a custom feature are different scopes. Put the boundary in writing before you pay.
Licence and client work
Foodomaa is licensed for one production installation per licence. If you are an agency delivering a branded build to a client, read the terms and ask before you buy. CodeCanyon items use the Envato licence, which distinguishes between a single end product and work you charge clients for. Check the licence tab on the item page; do not assume that a low item price includes client distribution.
Whichever route you choose, decide who owns the domain, server, app-store accounts, payment merchant account and customer data. The cleanest structure is usually: the client buys the licence in its own name, the agency charges for implementation and support, and the client owns the deployment.
Where FoodTiger can be the better choice
FoodTiger is not automatically the wrong purchase. It can be the better fit when its current item page matches your operation more closely than Foodomaa, or when you already have a developer who can evaluate the code and own the integration. A CodeCanyon item also gives you a public review history and a standard buyer-fee process, which some buyers prefer to a direct outlet relationship.
- Feature fit: the item already has the specific workflow you need, without custom work.
- Developer capacity: you have someone who can read the code, close gaps and maintain it.
- Budget shape: you prefer a lower entry price and can absorb implementation time instead of a larger up-front licence.
Be honest about the last point. A lower item price is only cheaper if your time is free. If you are paying a developer to assemble the stack, put those hours in the comparison.
A total-cost example
This is an illustrative model, not a FoodTiger quote. Suppose the item is $60, the buyer fee is $10, apps and addons add $100, installation is $150, branding is $100, and your developer spends 20 hours at $30/hour closing gaps. That is $1,020 before support, hosting, payment fees and app-store accounts.
The Foodomaa licence is $299 and includes the apps, website, admin, source code and installation. The gap is not the sticker price; it is how much of the launch you still have to buy after checkout. Replace every number in the example with your own quote and your own hourly rate.
Migrating from FoodTiger to Foodomaa
There is no automated migration. Budget for a developer and a parallel-running period.
- Export outlets, menus, categories, modifiers, customers, addresses, orders and reporting. Keep a read-only copy of the old database.
- Map the schema. outlet IDs, option groups, zone rules, delivery fee rates and order statuses rarely map one-to-one.
- Rebuild menus and photos. Re-upload images, check prices, modifiers, availability and prep times. Do not trust a bulk import for modifier pricing.
- Reconnect payments. New merchant keys, webhook URLs and a sandbox test for every method.
- Rebuild the apps. New package/bundle IDs, signing keys, push credentials and store listings.
- Redirect the old URLs. Map public store, outlet and menu URLs to the new equivalents with 301s.
- Run in parallel. Take a small set of orders through the new platform while the old one is still available.
- Close the old account only after one full payment cycle reconciles.

- You have checked the support period, changelog and licence.
FoodTiger alternative questions
Is Foodomaa a good FoodTiger alternative?
It is a good alternative if you want one $299 licence with the apps, website, admin and source code included, plus installation and direct support. FoodTiger may fit better if its current item matches your feature list and you have a developer to assemble it.
Is FoodTiger cheaper than Foodomaa?
The CodeCanyon item price may be lower. Add the buyer fee, any apps or addons, installation, support extension and developer time. Compare the full launch cost, not the sticker price.
Does FoodTiger include the mobile apps?
Check the current CodeCanyon item page. App availability and addon pricing can change between versions.
Can I migrate from FoodTiger to Foodomaa?
There is no automated migration. You would export outlets, menus, customers, orders and reporting, map them to Foodomaa's schema, rebuild the apps and redirect the old URLs.
Which is easier to install?
Foodomaa includes installation with the $299 licence and has a documented server setup. FoodTiger installation depends on the item and your server skills; check the item documentation and support scope before buying.
