BakeFleet vs Square
BakeFleet is built for one job: turning a bakery's regulars into weekly standing orders, charged at your cutoff, for a flat $39, $89 or $179 a month with no per-order fees. Square Online and Square Appointments is a point of sale, online store and booking suite. Here is how they compare, using Square's own public pages as of October 13, 2026.
Why bakeries choose BakeFleet: recurring revenue
A customer sets up a standing order once — a loaf every Friday, a pastry box every Saturday — and BakeFleet generates each delivery, reserves the stock against your bake day and charges their card at your cutoff. They can skip, pause or edit until then. The result is a week that is largely sold before you start baking, and a bake list written from real orders.
- Pricing: Starter $39/mo, Growth $89/mo, Pro $179/mo, or $390, $890 and $1,790 a year (two months free).
- No per-order fees on any plan; card processing still applies, through your own Stripe account.
- 14-day free trial, no setup fee.
