NomNom vs Sugarvine: two UK flat-fee booking systems
We make NomNom, so this is our side of it. These two are unusually easy to compare, because both are British, both charge a flat monthly fee, both take no commission on bookings, and crucially both actually publish their prices — which puts them in a minority of three in this market.

NomNom
One plan, one published price, everything in: commission-free booking on your own branded page, Stripe deposits and card holds, SMS reminders, an allergy-aware guest database, gift vouchers, multiple venues and unlimited devices. No contract, no setup fee, 14-day free trial. The honest gap is discovery: there is no diner marketplace.
Sugarvine
A UK flat-fee system that bundles a listing on the Sugarvine consumer dining guide. Commission-free on a 12-month contract; it notes a 1.5% handling fee on Stripe deposits.
So which should you choose?
Sugarvine bundles a listing on its consumer dining guide, which is real discovery value we do not offer. Against that: it is £75 + VAT a month on a 12-month contract with no free trial, where we are £29.99 rolling monthly with a 14-day trial. If the Sugarvine guide sends you covers, the difference may pay for itself; if it does not, you are paying roughly double for a directory you are not using.

Prices and features were accurate to the best of our knowledge on 11 August 2026, summarised from each vendor's own published information and from third-party trackers. Where a vendor does not publish pricing we say so rather than quoting an estimate as though it were a list price.
