Monthly cost
What the same plan costs on Salla
Each Quick Commerce plan against the Salla plan and apps a grocer would add to cover slots, COD checks and dispatch. These are estimates: most of the grocery apps have no published price.
Starter
- Quick Commerce
- SAR 129
- Salla + apps (est.)
- ≈ SAR 210–310
Plus SAR 99 · reviews app 30–60 (est.) · delivery-slot app 50–100 (est.) · COD OTP app 30–50 (est.). The POS (Salla Point) is free and ZATCA support is native, so neither is counted.
Growth
- Quick Commerce
- SAR 299
- Salla + apps (est.)
- ≈ SAR 700–1,150
Pro SAR 299 · WhatsApp cart app 40–119 · loyalty (built in, or an app at 49–69) · referral app about 50 (est.) · server-side conversions app about 50 (est.) · slot, review and COD apps 110–210 (est.) · driver dispatch service 150–400 (est.)
Scale
- Quick Commerce
- SAR 699
- Salla + apps (est.)
- ≈ SAR 800–1,450
The Growth stack plus a WhatsApp ordering bot 100–300 (est.). Above 5 branches Salla moves you to Special, whose price isn’t published.

Estimate as of Sep 2026, from list prices, monthly billing, excluding VAT.
- Salla plan prices come from agreeing secondary sources, because Salla’s own pricing pages didn’t load for our research.
- Lines marked (est.) are estimates: we couldn’t price slot, COD or dispatch apps in Salla’s app store.
- Payment processing isn’t included on either side: Salla earns through Salla Payments, and on Quick Commerce you pay your own gateway.

Payments: your choice of gateway, not a promise of lower fees
Salla takes no platform commission on sales. It earns through Salla Payments: about 2.7% + SAR 1 per payment on Plus and 2.5% + SAR 1 on Pro, according to secondary sources we couldn’t confirm on salla.com.
On Quick Commerce you connect your own gateway contract, such as PayFort, MyFatoorah or Tap, and there is no platform transaction fee. You still pay your gateway, so any saving depends on the rates you negotiate, and at list rates it can be small.
What you do gain is control: your own acquirer, your own settlement terms and your own instalment contracts with Tabby and Tamara.

Where they win
Where Salla genuinely wins
A free POS and native ZATCA support
Salla Point is free for Salla merchants, with per-branch shifts, offline sales and stock synced with the online store, and Salla’s ZATCA support is reported native. Our POS is a paid add-on, priced per register. If you want a free till, Salla is ahead.
No product cap, and a free plan
Every Salla plan has unlimited products and orders, there is a free Basic plan, and Plus at SAR 99 a month costs less than our Starter. On sticker price alone, Salla starts lower.
Scale, shipping partners and payments with no paperwork
Salla works with more than 200 shipping partners, says its Special plan handles up to 15 million transactions in a day with settlement every 24 hours, and switches on local payment methods without gateway paperwork.
Where we win
Where Quick Commerce wins
Grocery delivery, built in
Delivery slots with capacity limits and express delivery come with every plan. On Salla, slot booking is extension work beyond the default setup, according to an independent comparison.
Picker and driver apps from Growth
Growth includes a picker app with barcode picking and customer-approved substitutions, and a driver app with live GPS and end-of-shift cash reconciliation. We found neither built into Salla; a separate dispatch service adds an estimated SAR 150–400 a month.
COD checks and gateway freedom
COD OTP and order limits come with every plan, with a blocklist and customer risk score from Growth. And you connect the gateway you choose, with no platform transaction fee on top.
