Free plan AndroidAPIiPhone+1
Choose Numus if your delivery team needs shared order intake, driver dispatch, customer tracking and proof of delivery in one system. The Free plan offers a way to start, with defined monthly order and driver caps. Teams that want WhatsApp Business ordering will need to wait, as that capability is still in development.
