Disco vs. Per Diem
Per Diem is a white-label mobile ordering app for Square merchants. Like Disco, they offer branded apps at $99/month. The key differences come down to the details — Disco provides a more streamlined onboarding process, tighter Square POS sync, and a dedicated team that handles App Store submission end-to-end.
Per Diem gives you a DIY builder; Disco gives you a done-for-you launch.
The full picture
Per Diem offers a drag-and-drop app builder that lets you customize colors, logos, and layout. While this gives flexibility, it also means more work on the merchant side. Disco takes a different approach — we handle the entire setup and App Store submission process so you can focus on running your shop.
Both platforms integrate with Square POS, but Disco maintains a real-time sync with your Square catalog. Menu changes, inventory updates, and pricing all flow through automatically with zero manual intervention.
Per Diem has expanded into delivery through a DoorDash partnership and offers features for restaurants and bakeries. Disco stays focused on coffee shops, which means a simpler, more purpose-built experience without the feature bloat.
