How we evaluate providers v1.1

Ownership: RestaurantBookingSystem.com is operated by Resos. Resos appears in some rankings and may benefit if you choose it. We apply the same published evaluation method to every provider.

Resy’s 2026 pricing is four plans between $249 and $399 a month, with no per-cover fees but a 3% or 2% fee on prepayments. That flat model is Resy’s defining feature: unlike OpenTable or TheFork, your bill does not grow with every guest you seat. The trade-off is a high $249/month floor and no free option, which is why Resy fits upscale, higher-volume restaurants best. Below we break down each plan, what you actually pay per cover as volume rises, and how it compares to cheaper alternatives.

Resy and Tock are now one offering. Resy’s pricing page describes these as four plans that bring Resy and Tock together, which is why the lineup splits into a Platform track (reservations and analytics) and an Essential/Premium track (events, ticketing and prepayments). If you have been comparing Resy and Tock as separate products, that is out of date.

What each Resy plan includes

Platform: $249/month

The entry plan, and the one most single restaurants will be quoted.

Included:

  • Reservations and walk-in waitlists
  • Table management
  • POS integration
  • Basic automated guest alerts (Notify)
  • Chat and email support

Essential: $269/month

The Tock-derived track. Same reservation core, but built for venues selling events and prepaid experiences.

Included (in addition to Platform):

  • Event ticketing and advanced customization
  • Deposits and prepayments, at a 3% prepayment fee
  • Credit card holds and cancellation fees

Platform 360: $399/month

For venues that want to act on guest data rather than just collect it.

Included (in addition to Platform):

  • Advanced analytics dashboard
  • Automated guest insights
  • Priority Notify alerts

Premium: $399/month

The top of the Essential track, and the only plan with the lower prepayment fee.

Included (in addition to Essential):

  • Prepayments at a 2% fee rather than 3%
  • POS integration and phone support
  • Chargeback protection and exclusive booking groups

Standard payment processing fees apply on top of any prepayment fee.

What you actually pay: by volume

Because Resy is flat-fee, the more covers you do, the lower your effective cost per cover. That is the mirror image of OpenTable, where cost rises with every cover.

Monthly coversResy Platform ($249 flat)Effective cost / coverOpenTable Basic (per-cover)
100$249$2.49~$299
250$249$1.00~$524
500$249$0.50~$899
1,000$249$0.25~$1,649

The headline is that Resy gets cheaper per cover the busier you are, while per-cover platforms get more expensive. The catch is the $249 floor: at low volume that is a steep effective cost per cover, which is why Resy rarely makes sense for small or casual venues.

Resy vs cheaper alternatives at 500 covers/month

PlatformSubscriptionCover feesMonthly totalAnnual
Resy Platform$249$0$249$2,988
OpenTable Basic$149~$750~$899~$10,788
Resos Unlimited$149$0$149$1,788
Resos Free$0$0$0$0 (up to 25 bookings/mo)

Resy and Resos share the same flat, commission-free philosophy. The difference is the floor: Resos starts free and tops out at $149/month, while Resy starts at $249/month. For upscale venues that value Resy’s brand and American Express ties, the premium can be worth it; for everyone else, a lower flat fee delivers the same predictable, no-cover-fee model for less.

When Resy pricing makes sense

Choose Resy when:

  • You run an upscale or fine dining restaurant where $249/month is a rounding error
  • You want predictable, flat costs with zero per-cover fees
  • Your clientele uses American Express and benefits from the integration
  • You value Resy’s premium brand positioning in major US metros

When Resy pricing doesn’t make sense

Skip Resy when:

  • You are a small or casual restaurant, the $249/month floor is hard to justify at low volume
  • You want a free tier or a low entry price to start
  • You operate outside Resy’s strong markets (it is North America focused)
  • You need the largest possible diner network for discovery (OpenTable is larger)

Flat, commission-free pricing: from free

Resos gives you the same no-cover-fee model Resy is known for, starting at $0/month and topping out at $149. Keep your costs predictable without the $249 floor.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Resy cost in 2026?
The combined Resy and Tock offer publishes Platform at $249 per month, Essential at $269, and Platform 360 or Premium at $399. There are no per-cover fees. Essential charges 3% on prepayments and Premium charges 2%, while standard payment processing also applies.
Does Resy charge per-cover fees?
No. Resy charges a flat monthly subscription with no per-cover or commission fees on any plan. This makes its cost predictable: a busy restaurant pays the same monthly price as a quiet one on the same plan, which is the opposite of marketplace platforms like OpenTable or TheFork that bill per guest.
Does Resy have a free plan or free trial?
Resy does not advertise a permanent free tier or self-service trial on its pricing page. Platform starts at $249 per month. Resos offers a permanent free tier with up to 25 bookings per month and basic table management; add-ons require a paid plan.
What is the cheapest Resy plan?
Resy's cheapest plan is Platform at $249/month, which includes reservations, walk-in waitlists, table management and POS integration. Platform 360 ($399/month) adds advanced analytics and automated guest insights, while Essential ($269/month) and Premium ($399/month) add event ticketing and prepayments, with a 3% and 2% prepayment fee respectively. There is no cheaper entry point, so Resy mainly suits upscale venues where $249/month is negligible.
Is Resy cheaper than OpenTable?
It depends on volume. Because Resy is flat-fee and OpenTable adds per-cover fees, Resy is usually cheaper once you exceed roughly 80 network covers per month. At 500 network covers, Resy Platform costs $249/month while OpenTable Basic runs around $899/month. That assumes every cover comes through OpenTable's network; a mix with website covers lands lower. Below that volume, or if most bookings come from your own website, the gap narrows.
