BEO HQ vs Catertoo
Both stand on restaurant catering software. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.
BEO HQ organizes catering documents and calculations around shared event details, with approvals and signatures on Pro. The free plan is tightly capped, and users need their own payment setup.

Choose Catertoo if you need to coordinate catering proposals, client records, event details, and payments in one service. The Free plan covers up to three events monthly, while Pro removes that event limit and adds proposal and invoice branding. Teams that need custom workflows, integrations, development, or SSO can look at Enterprise, which has custom pricing.
