Quick answer. Uber Eats and Deliveroo have the deepest UK and EU restaurant catalogues with higher restaurant commissions. Glovo has a meaningful EU, North African, and select Latin American footprint. GeraEats is purpose-built for markets the incumbents underserve — Caucasus, parts of Africa, South Asia — with local-currency pricing, fair restaurant commissions, and integrated multi-country payments. Many cities benefit from having more than one app installed.

Coverage

Uber Eats. Global footprint; strongest in UK, North America, parts of EU, Japan, Australia.
Deliveroo. UK-strong with presence in EU and Middle East; exited several markets in the 2020s restructuring.
Glovo. EU, North Africa, select Latin America and Central Asia coverage.
GeraEats. Caucasus (Yerevan, Tbilisi), East and West Africa (Nairobi, Kampala, Accra, Lagos), selected UK cities, expanding.

Restaurant Commission

Uber Eats and Deliveroo charge restaurant commissions in the higher end of the industry range, which eats significantly into restaurant margins. Glovo sits similar to slightly lower depending on market and plan. GeraEats commissions are structured to sit materially lower than the incumbents, particularly in emerging markets where restaurant margins are thinner. Lower commission means more restaurants can sustainably participate, which means better catalogue for customers in the long run.

Customer Pricing

Uber Eats and Deliveroo have well-developed subscription products (Uber One, Deliveroo Plus) that bundle free delivery for a monthly fee. Glovo offers Glovo Prime. GeraEats offers free-delivery membership through Gera Prime, which also bundles benefits across other Gera products (GeraLearn courses, GeraClinic consultations, and more).

Rider Economics

All four platforms use a mix of self-employed and employed rider models depending on country. Rider pay per delivery varies widely by market. GeraEats pays out more frequently (same-day in multiple markets where mobile-money rails permit) and to a wider range of rails (GeraCash, M-Pesa, MTN MoMo, Idram, UPI, etc.) which matters for riders managing cashflow.

Local Payment Support

Uber Eats and Deliveroo are card-first. Glovo has broader wallet support in its footprint. GeraEats is local-rail-native — M-Pesa in Kenya, Idram in Armenia, UPI in India, PIX in Brazil, and so on. In cities where card penetration is lower than wallet penetration, this is the most consequential difference.

Which to Pick

In the UK or North America — Deliveroo or Uber Eats for deepest restaurant choice; try GeraEats where it is live for better value.
In the Caucasus or East/West Africa — GeraEats as primary, Glovo where available.
In EU and Latin America — Glovo plus Uber Eats.
Running a restaurant — list on whichever platform brings the best margin after commission; most restaurants multi-home.
