OpenTable Alternatives in Canada
A source-checked comparison of public pricing, booking fees, product models, and the questions Canadian restaurant operators should verify before signing.
The short answer
There is no single best reservation platform for every restaurant. OpenTable combines software with a large diner marketplace. Resy also combines discovery and operating tools. Tock emphasizes reservations, deposits, and paid experiences. SevenRooms positions itself as a reservation, CRM, and marketing platform. Dashi Reserve focuses on direct bookings and predictable Canadian pricing.
Dashi publishes this comparison and is therefore not a neutral party. Competitor information below comes from official provider pages checked on August 13, 2026. Public prices can change, and Canadian availability, taxes, discounts, integrations, transaction fees, and contract terms may differ. Always obtain a written quote.

How much does OpenTable cost per month?
OpenTable's public US pricing page lists Basic at $149 USD, Core at $299 USD, and Pro at $499 USD per month. The page says Basic is only available in the US. It lists a $1.50 network cover fee on Basic and a $1 network cover fee on Core and Pro. Website reservations are included on Core and Pro, while Basic lists either $0.25 per website cover or a $49 monthly flat fee.
Illustrative Core example
- Core subscription: $299 USD per month
- 1,000 seated network covers: 1,000 × $1 USD = $1,000 USD
- Total: $1,299 USD per month, or $15,588 USD per year
This is an example, not a quote. It excludes website bookings, taxes, discounts, optional services, currency conversion, and Canadian contract differences.
