How to Cancel Grubhub+ in 2026 (You're Overpaying for Delivery)

Updated February 2026 • 7 min read

Grubhub+ promises "free delivery" for $9.99/month. What they don't emphasize: you still pay service fees ($2-5), higher menu prices (15-30% markup vs. restaurant prices), and tip. The "free delivery" saves $3-5 per order — meaning you need 2-3+ orders/month just to break even on the subscription alone.

⚠️ The Hidden Costs of Grubhub+

"Free delivery" still charges service fees ($2-5 per order)
Menu prices are 15-30% higher than ordering direct from the restaurant
Only applies to orders $12+ from eligible restaurants
Grubhub was acquired by Wonder Group — service quality may change

The Real Math on Food Delivery

A $20 meal from a restaurant, ordered through Grubhub+:

Menu price: $23-26 (15-30% markup)
Service fee: $2-4
Delivery fee: $0 (Grubhub+ benefit)
Tip: $4-5
Total: $29-35 for a $20 meal

The same meal, ordered direct for pickup: $20 + $0 = $20. You're paying a 45-75% premium for the convenience of delivery, even with "free delivery."

Cheaper Alternatives

Order direct + pick up — Most restaurants have their own ordering system. Same food, restaurant prices, no fees.
Restaurant delivery — Many restaurants deliver themselves (pizza, Chinese, Indian). Call directly. No markup, often free delivery.
DoorDash DashPass — $9.99/month, same concept. Not cheaper, but compare which has better restaurant selection in your area.
Uber One — $9.99/month, covers Uber Eats + Uber rides. Better value if you also use Uber for transport.
Meal prep — Batch cook on Sundays. $3-5/meal vs $30+ delivered. The math is overwhelming.

💡 The Delivery App Rotation

Every delivery app offers new user promos ($10-15 off first orders). Instead of a monthly subscription, rotate: use Grubhub's promo, then DoorDash's, then Uber Eats'. By the time you've cycled through, the first one has new offers again. Not sustainable long-term, but saves more than any subscription.
