From Baemin to Uber Eats — the keywords worth knowing when delivery-app news breaks. Fees and policies change often, so always double-check each company's own notice.
News about delivery apps rarely stays contained to "the ordering screen changed" — it usually touches platform ownership, membership perks, merchant fees, and how riders are managed. A headline about a free-delivery war or an app ranking shuffle can be hiding a much bigger story about merchant fee structures, cross-border ownership stakes, and rider conditions moving together, and without that context the headline itself can feel hard to place.
How we picked
- Whether the name shows up often in delivery-app news
- Whether it affects both consumer perks and merchant policy
- Whether it helps you read the market structure rather than root for one brand
Golladream isn't picking a favorite here; this list gathers the services and keywords that make delivery-app news easier to follow. If you already use one of these apps, start with its entry; if you're trying to make sense of a recent market-shakeup story, start with Delivery Hero and Uber Eats for background. Fees, perks, and policies shift often, so treat this as a map rather than a final answer — check each company's current notice before you rely on a specific number.
Baemin (Baedal Minjok)

Delivery Hero

How to read this list
If you're actually choosing an app right now, compare #1 through #3 (Baemin, Yogiyo, Coupang Eats) on real checkout totals and whether your usual neighborhood spots are listed. If you're trying to follow an industry or M&A story, treat #4 and #5 (Delivery Hero, Uber Eats) as background context. The #6 entry on membership and free-delivery competition is a habit worth carrying into any app you compare.
When comparing, look past the words "free delivery" to the actual checkout total, and past discount percentages to whether your regular spots are still listed. Fee and perk details here reflect the time of research and can change, so always confirm current terms with each company's own notice before you order.
Frequently asked questions
Do delivery apps charge different fees?
Fee structures for merchants vary by app and by contract terms, and they get revised periodically. This is accurate as of September 2026 — for the current numbers, check each company's merchant portal or official notice.
Does free delivery always mean it's cheaper?
Not necessarily. The final total depends on the minimum order amount, menu pricing, and whether coupons can stack, so compare the checkout total rather than the free-delivery label alone.
What should I check before switching delivery apps?
Check whether your regular neighborhood restaurants are listed, whether the delivery area and estimated times are similar, and whether customer support has been reliable. Promotions tend to be temporary, so weigh these basics more heavily if you're picking an app for the long run.
Why does a name like Delivery Hero show up in the news so often?
It doesn't operate a domestic delivery app directly, but it shapes the market through ownership stakes and global platform strategy. It tends to appear alongside stories about acquisitions or stake sales, so knowing the background makes that kind of news easier to follow.
Can I compare overseas delivery apps directly with Korean ones?
Treat it as background rather than a direct comparison. Regulatory environments and market structures differ by country, so a service model that works abroad doesn't automatically translate to Korea — use it more to gauge where the market could expand next.
