Catcher vs Shipday

Catcher is a B2B last-mile marketplace that connects restaurants and other businesses with delivery drivers and fleets. It presents itself as a delivery partner for independent restaurants, chains, and franchises, with coverage across more than 350 cities in Spain and Portugal. Restaurants and drivers set their own terms, and the app alerts drivers when a delivery matches their price range. After a match, customers receive a message to track the order and see its location. Catcher offers Android, iOS, web, and API access, plus native integrations with management, loyalty, and order-aggregator systems that synchronize orders, menus, promotions, and customers in real time. Its API uses REST principles and OAuth 2.0; credentials must be requested from Catcher, and requests need an API key. The published Spain rates exclude VAT: merchants pay €0.99 per order for 0–500 monthly orders per location or €0.79 per order above 500, plus a €490, paid once implementation fee. Drivers pay €0.29, paid once per accepted marketplace order.

Shipday is a delivery management platform for dispatching orders and coordinating drivers. The web platform is available on phones and tablets, and drivers use a mobile app for order information, routes, updates, chat, and proof of delivery by photo or signature.

Shipday lists more than 100 integrated partners. API access is available, and the Professional plan includes API and webhook access. The free plan supports up to 300 orders per month, 10 driver accounts, and one dispatch account. A 14-day trial of the full platform is available without a credit card. Paid plans start at $19 a month. Paid-plan user counts vary by plan. Support is available by phone, email, online chat, and in-app chat; listed phone hours are 9 am to 6 pm PST, Monday through Saturday. Shipday also lists AI features for review automation, coaching, calls, dispatch, reports, and customer chat.
