VizuHome vs WhatsApp vs MealsCloud
WhatsApp/Instagram is free but breaks down past a few orders a day. MealsCloud (free tier; paid from ~PKR 2,000/mo) is best if native JazzCash/Easypaisa checkout and lowest price matter most. VizuHome ($15/mo) is best if you want 3D dishes and a marketplace that finds you new customers. VizuHome and MealsCloud both take no commission.
We make VizuHome, so this is written to be fair: the table shows where the others beat us too. Details are as publicly listed in September 2026 — confirm the latest with each vendor.

WhatsApp & Instagram
Almost every home chef in Pakistan starts here, and it's free. But past 15–20 orders a day it breaks down: orders get buried under photos and voice notes, there's no menu or cart, no record of what sold, and customers keep messaging "baji, order kahan hai?" There's no commission — but there's also no system.
MealsCloud
MealsCloud is a Pakistan-built app for home chefs and cloud kitchens: a shareable menu link, an order dashboard and daily sales reports, live in about 15 minutes. Its stand-out strength is payments built for Pakistan — JazzCash, Easypaisa, cash on delivery and bank transfer as first-class options — plus a free tier and low paid plans. It's a strong, affordable choice, especially if you want customers paying by mobile wallet at checkout.
VizuHome
VizuHome gives you your own ordering page too, and adds two things the others don't: 3D dishes (customers see the food in 3D before ordering) and a public marketplace at vizuworld.com/chefs where nearby customers searching for home food can discover you — so it's not only a page you have to drive traffic to yourself. It includes pickup and Bykea/self delivery (you keep the delivery fee), collection times, batch limits and verified reviews, for $15/month with no commission. Its current gap versus MealsCloud is native mobile-wallet checkout: VizuHome handles payment by bank transfer and confirmation rather than an integrated JazzCash/Easypaisa gateway.
Which should you choose?
- Just starting, a handful of orders: WhatsApp/Instagram is fine — move on when it gets messy.
- Lowest price + native JazzCash/Easypaisa checkout: MealsCloud.
- Stand out with 3D dishes and get discovered by new customers: VizuHome — the marketplace is the difference.
