WHY ONE PLAN
No feature tiers. No "Pro" features locked behind a higher price.
Most SaaS tools use tiered plans to charge more for features that should be standard — recipe limits, report exports, integrations, or support. The cheapest tier is always missing something you actually need. MenuCost doesn't do that.
One plan gives you everything. Unlimited recipes, all four cost layers, every report type, catering quotes, allergen management, bulk import, the What-If Simulator — all included from day one. The only add-on is additional users, because that's a cost that genuinely scales with the size of your team.

WHAT CUSTOMERS SAY
Trusted by F&B businesses across the GCC
"Before MenuCost I had a spreadsheet I updated maybe once a year. Now I know exactly what every item costs and my margins have improved significantly."
"Setting up took less than a day. The overhead allocation feature alone changed how I think about pricing — I never accounted for rent per recipe before."
"We were about to open a second branch but couldn't understand our unit economics. MenuCost gave us the clarity we needed in one afternoon."

Yes. Additional users can be added to your account at any time at $16.99/month per user, billed annually. Each additional user gets full access to all features — the same as the admin. You control what each user can view or edit through the admin permission settings. Users can be added or removed at any time.
The standard plan is billed annually. If annual billing is a barrier for your business, contact us at menucost.net/contactus and we can discuss options. The annual plan saves significantly compared to an equivalent monthly rate and is how most of our customers prefer to pay.
You can cancel at any time. Your subscription remains active until the end of the paid annual period. Before your account closes, you can export all your recipes, ingredient library, and reports as excel sheet. Your data is always yours — we don't hold it after cancellation.
Yes — in fact, home bakeries and small operations are some of the businesses that benefit most from MenuCost. The cost of one mispriced custom cake order can exceed an entire year's subscription. MenuCost gives small operations the same cost clarity as larger businesses, at a price that works for them. The 7-day free trial lets you test it fully before committing.
Yes. One MenuCost Pro plan covers all your brands. You organise recipes by category — one category per brand — and share a single ingredient library across all of them. A supplier price change updates all brands at once. The plan covers your entire operation, however many virtual brands or product ranges you run.
