# TablePing vs OpenTable

OpenTable is a US-based, one of the world’s largest restaurant reservation marketplaces; it markets discovery and bookings through a diner network spanning 60,000+ restaurants. On top of a flat monthly fee, it charges a per-diner network cover fee — on the Basic plan, even reservations from your own website are charged. TablePing doesn’t sell guest discovery (marketplace) — it offers WhatsApp-native reminders and a commission-free flat subscription: no network fee, no per-cover fee.

## Why TablePing

- **No per-cover fees:** TablePing charges a flat monthly fee with no extra charge per guest. On OpenTable’s Basic plan, reservations from your own website cost $0.25/cover (or a $49/month flat fee); network-sourced reservations cost $1.00–$1.50/cover depending on plan (publicly listed pricing).
- **WhatsApp-native reminders:** TablePing sends confirmations and reminders via WhatsApp Business API templates. OpenTable runs notifications through its own consumer app and email (as marketed); out-of-the-box WhatsApp Cloud API automation isn’t publicly emphasized.
- **Predictable cost:** TablePing’s bill doesn’t change with guest volume. OpenTable’s network cover fee scales with volume — a busy night can mean a bigger bill.
