Dojo vs Teya: which should you choose?
Both target growing hospitality and retail businesses past pay-as-you-go volume, but they take opposite approaches: Dojo quotes a package, Teya publishes fixed tiers.
Quick verdict
Neither is a clear winner without more information.
Teya is the more transparent, flexible option on paper — published rates, cancel-anytime membership, 24/7 support.
Dojo may still be competitive or better once you have an actual quote, particularly if you value its hospitality-specific features, but you can't compare it fairly against Teya's published numbers without one.
Who should choose Dojo
Hospitality businesses wanting Dojo's specific POS/hospitality integrations, who are comfortable requesting a quote and potentially signing a ~12-month agreement.
Who should choose Teya
Businesses that want to compare a published rate immediately without a sales call, and who value being able to cancel at any time.

Published vs quoted
Teya's Start plan is 0% membership + 1.59% (min. £29.99 charge below £2,500/month), scaling to Boost (£19/mo + 0.99%) and Thrive (£39/mo + 0.59%). Dojo's package pricing is reported as something like £39.99/month covering up to £3,999 turnover, +1% on the excess — indicative only, not officially confirmed.
| At £8,000/month — Teya Thrive (£39 + 0.59%) | £86.20/month |
| At £8,000/month — Dojo package estimate | ~£95/month (indicative) |
Teya's published figure edges ahead at this illustrative volume, but Dojo's real quote for your specific turnover and sector could easily beat this — treat the Dojo figure as a starting point for negotiation, not a fixed price.

Teya — sign up against a published rate immediately.
Multi-location hospitality
Dojo — has explicit multi-location pricing (+£10/mo per site); confirm Teya's equivalent directly if scaling to multiple sites.
Final recommendation
Don't take Dojo's estimated rate at face value in either direction — it could be better or worse than Teya's published tiers depending on your specific business.
