Before you switch
There is rarely one winner: the right pick depends on your format, your budget, and how much lock-in you can live with. Before you leave Popmenu, price the whole move: getting your data out, any payment-processing contract, hardware, and the other tools it connects to. If Popmenu does its main job well, fixing one weak spot may beat switching. Describe that specific need in the builder and check the connections before going live.
