DeliverGuard and ErrorCharge solve overlapping problems with opposite trade-offs on availability. DeliverGuard is priced at $0 but is still waitlist-gated, its own site's calls to action are "Get early access" and "Join the waitlist," not a working signup form. ErrorCharge charges $29/month for its full feature set, but the free scanner and the paid plan are both usable today, no waitlist.
What does DeliverGuard actually do?
DeliverGuard is a revenue-integrity tool that cross-checks delivery platform statements against your POS and bank deposits to surface missing payouts, overcharged commissions, and deposit discrepancies. You upload CSV or PDF exports from DoorDash, Uber Eats, or Grubhub (SkipTheDishes and Postmates on request), and connect your bank account through Plaid's OAuth for the deposit side, no API keys or platform account credentials required. Its homepage shows an illustrative example (not a named customer result) of a 90-day scan surfacing "$2,847 at risk across seven discrepancies." Founded in 2024 by Mike Reilly, a former restaurant operator, DeliverGuard's own about page states restaurants lose 2 to 5 percent of platform revenue to errors nobody catches, an unsourced figure from the company itself, not an independently verified statistic.
The whole product is positioned as free, but it isn't self-serve yet: the primary calls to action are "Get early access" and "Join the waitlist," which is pre-launch behavior even though the eventual price is $0.
What does ErrorCharge do differently?
ErrorCharge is live and self-serve right now: no waitlist, no early-access request. Drop a DoorDash or Uber Eats payout CSV into the scanner and get an itemized error-charge breakdown in your browser immediately. Where DeliverGuard's model checks platform data against your POS and bank deposits to catch broader payout discrepancies, ErrorCharge works from the platform statement alone and focuses specifically on error charges, plus drafts the dispute text you'd paste into your DoorDash or Uber Eats merchant portal yourself.

How much does each cost?
ErrorCharge is free to scan a statement, and $29/monthfor the Pro plan (dispute-text drafts for every charge, unlimited saved months), available to sign up for today. DeliverGuard is priced at $0 with no paid tier found anywhere on its site, but you can't sign up and start using it yet, access requires getting off the waitlist first.
Which should an independent restaurant pick?
If you need to see what's on your statement this week, ErrorCharge is usable today; DeliverGuard, however appealing its eventual free price, is not yet something you can sign into. If your bigger concern is broader payout reconciliation against your POS and bank deposits rather than error charges specifically, and you're comfortable waiting for access, joining DeliverGuard's waitlist is worth doing in parallel, the two tools aren't mutually exclusive.
FAQ
- Is DeliverGuard actually free?
- Its homepage says "completely free" more than six times and repeats "no credit card ever." No dollar figure for any paid tier appears anywhere on the site, and its /pricing URL returns a 404, so free appears to be the only tier that exists.
- Can I sign up for DeliverGuard right now?
- Not as a live self-serve product. Its main calls to action are "Get early access" and "Join the waitlist," which reads as pre-launch. Being free and being available today are two different things here, DeliverGuard is the former but not yet the latter.
- Is deliverguard.com the real DeliverGuard site?
- No. deliverguard.com redirects to a GoDaddy "domain for sale" parking page and isn't connected to the product. The actual site, described on-page as "DeliverGuard 2.0," lives at deliverguard.io.
- Does DeliverGuard need my bank login?
- For bank-deposit matching, it uses Plaid's OAuth connection. For platform data, DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub, it explicitly does not use API keys or account logins: its own copy says "No API keys. No accounting integrations. Just your existing reports," and you upload CSV or PDF exports directly.
- Does DeliverGuard file disputes on my behalf?
- That's not confirmed either way in its public marketing. The site says it provides "dispute-ready evidence for recoverable amounts," language that describes a report you'd act on rather than an auto-filed dispute, but DeliverGuard doesn't state outright whether it ever files anything itself.
- Which delivery platforms does DeliverGuard cover?
- DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub are its primary, named platforms. SkipTheDishes and Postmates are supported on a per-request basis, per its own site copy.
- What does ErrorCharge cost compared to DeliverGuard?
- ErrorCharge's scanner is free to use today, and dispute-text drafts for every charge are $29/month on Pro. DeliverGuard is priced at $0 as well, but it's waitlist-gated rather than open for signup, so "free" doesn't currently mean "usable this afternoon."
