Delivery app cost in Jordan:
2026 prices in JOD
Restaurant, grocery and courier apps: an ordering app from 2,500 JOD, a system with a driver app from 6,000 JOD, and what you pay every month after launch.
A delivery app in Jordan costs from about 2,500 JOD for a simple ordering app for one restaurant or shop to 10,000 JOD and more for a marketplace with many vendors. The price depends on how many apps you need, who delivers the orders, and how customers pay. This guide breaks down delivery app cost in Jordan for restaurant, grocery and courier apps, the monthly costs after launch, and when an aggregator makes more sense than your own app.
The three parts of a delivery app
Most delivery systems are three products that share one server and one database.
Customer app
Browse the menu or catalogue, add to cart, pin the address on a map, pay by card or cash, follow the order status, reorder in one tap and receive notifications.
Driver app
Receive assigned orders, accept them, navigate to pickup and drop-off, update the status, record cash collected, and share live location while on a delivery.
Admin and restaurant panel
Manage the menu, prices, branches, delivery zones and fees. Receive new orders with a sound alert, assign drivers, issue refunds and coupons, and read sales reports. In a marketplace, every restaurant or store gets its own panel, and you get a main panel above them.
Each user type is close to a separate app. That is why adding a driver app is the biggest single jump in price.
Restaurant, grocery and courier apps are not the same
| App type | What is different | Effect on cost |
|---|---|---|
| Restaurant ordering | Menu items with options and add-ons, kitchen alerts, opening hours and busy times | The base case |
| Grocery | Large catalogue, stock levels, items sold by weight, substitutions when an item runs out | Higher, because of product import and stock sync |
| Courier and parcels | Pickup and drop-off addresses, price by distance or zone, proof of delivery, business accounts | Higher, because of pricing rules and the driver flow |
Delivery app cost in Jordan by tier
| Tier | What you get | Apps | Price | Typical time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Simple ordering app | One restaurant or shop, menu, cart, cash on delivery, order alerts. Your own staff deliver. | Customer app and admin panel | 2,500 to 5,000 JOD | 6 to 10 weeks |
| 2. Ordering app with payments | Card payments, several branches, delivery zones and fees, coupons, order history | Customer app and admin panel | 4,500 to 10,000 JOD | 8 to 14 weeks |
| 3. Your own delivery fleet | Driver app with live location, order assignment, status updates and cash records | Customer app, driver app and admin panel | From 6,000 JOD at Saree3 | 10 to 14 weeks |
| 4. Multi-vendor marketplace | Many restaurants or stores, vendor panels, commissions, payouts and ratings | Customer, driver and vendor apps, plus a main panel | From about 10,000 JOD, priced in a written proposal | 4 months or more |
The first three tiers can be fixed-price once the scope is written. A marketplace depends on how vendors join, how commissions and payouts work, and how many areas you start with, so it is priced in a written proposal once those rules are clear.

Features that move the price
- Live tracking on a map. Showing the driver moving needs real-time server work and more testing.
- Automatic driver assignment. Manual assignment by a dispatcher is simpler and enough for a small fleet.
- Card payments and refunds through a local payment gateway.
- Scheduled orders and delivery time slots.
- Loyalty points and coupons to bring customers back.
- Links to your point of sale or kitchen screens, so orders do not need to be typed twice.
- E-invoicing. If your invoices must be submitted to JoFotara, the national e-invoicing system, add the integration to the scope.
- Arabic and English in all three apps.
Monthly and yearly costs after launch
| Cost | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Apple Developer Program | 99 US dollars a year | Needed for the App Store |
| Google Play developer account | 25 US dollars once | Needed for Google Play |
| Server and database | Grows with orders | A small app starts at a few dollars a month |
| Maps | Usage based | Google Maps Platform gives each service a free monthly allowance, such as 10,000 events for many basic services, then charges per use |
| Verification codes by SMS | Per message | Prices vary by provider, so confirm with the provider |
| Payment gateway | Fee per transaction | Varies by gateway and bank, so confirm before you choose |
| Maintenance | From 80 JOD a month at Saree3 | Fixes, updates and new iOS and Android versions |
Live tracking raises map and server usage, because every active driver sends a location update every few seconds. Ask the company to estimate your monthly bill at your expected orders per day before you build. Our guide to payment gateways in Jordan explains how to compare gateway fees.
Build your own app or use Talabat and Careem?
In Jordan, aggregator platforms such as Talabat and Careem already have the customers and the drivers. Listing there is fast and needs no development. In return, the platform charges a commission on each order under its contract with you, and the customer relationship sits mostly with the platform.
| Point | Aggregator platform | Your own app |
|---|---|---|
| Customers | Available from day one | You bring them through your own marketing |
| Cost per order | Commission set in your contract | No commission. You pay for building, servers and maintenance |
| Drivers | The platform drivers | Your drivers or a courier partner |
| Customer data | Limited | Your customer list, order history and loyalty |
| Brand | Your menu next to competitors | Only your brand on the screen |
Many restaurants use both: the aggregator to reach new customers, and their own app for regulars, with a loyalty reward for ordering direct. Your own app makes sense when repeat customers are a large share of your orders, or when you run several branches with your own drivers. If most orders come from first-time customers, start with the aggregator and build later.
How long a delivery app takes
An ordering app with an admin panel takes 6 to 14 weeks. Adding a driver app takes it to about 10 to 14 weeks, and a marketplace takes 4 months or more. Add time for store review, and for the 14 day closed test that new personal Google Play accounts must run. Our guide to choosing an app development company in Jordan covers store publishing in detail.
Questions to answer before you ask for quotes
The same delivery app can be quoted at very different prices depending on these answers. Write them down first:
- Who delivers: your staff, your own drivers with an app, or a courier partner?
- How many branches, and do they share one menu or keep their own?
- Which payment methods: cash, card or both?
- Which areas do you cover, and is the delivery fee fixed, by zone or by distance?
- Must orders reach your point of sale or kitchen screen automatically?
- How many orders a day do you expect in the first six months?
With these six answers, a company can give you a fixed price instead of a range. Without them, every quote is a guess, and the difference shows up later as change requests.
How to keep the cost down
- Start with one branch and one delivery area, then expand.
- Assign drivers by hand at first. Automate once the volume needs it.
- Launch with cash and card. Add wallets and saved cards later.
- Use ready services for maps, payments and verification codes.
- Keep the admin panel to the screens your team uses every day.
The first version is not the last one. An app that launches in weeks with the essentials and takes real orders tells you more than any study. You learn which features customers actually use before you pay for them.
Where Saree3 fits
Saree3 builds ordering and delivery apps for iOS and Android from one codebase in Amman. A first ordering app starts from 2,500 JOD, an app with payments from 4,500 JOD, and a system with a driver app from 6,000 JOD. Marketplaces are priced in a written proposal. Every project starts with a written proposal within one business day, payment is 50% to start and 50% at launch, and the code and store accounts belong to you after the final payment.
