Instacart Costs
Instacart has a membership cost of $99 per month, which is good for customers who order frequently from the app, and the members get free deliveries on every order that is over $35. If the customer is not an express member, they will need to pay a delivery fee of $7 every time they order from the store. If the customer is not an express member, the customer will need to pay a service fee on every order. The fee is waived for express members.
This can be decided by a variety of factors. Those factors are:
Availability:
if one of the two mentioned companies does not perform deliveries in your area, then the choice is easy.
Winner: Instacart.
Grocery Stores:
Winner: Instacart.
Deals:
Because the prices on the app or website are high, buying groceries from online stores is slightly more expensive than buying them in-store.
Customer Service:
You will discover in grocery delivery apps that sometimes you cannot find the grocery item in any of the shops, and the company also has difficulty finding drivers during peak delivery times.
Conclusion
So by seeing the above-mentioned factors, we have reached a stalemate where the score is 2 to 1. As mentioned before, if any one of the companies does not deliver in your area, then the choice is easy, but other than that, Instacart is a better option as you can use it without any subscription.
The customer will need to pay $15 per month in this case.
