Total Cost (Fees, Markups & Tips)5/10

DashPass is $9.99 per month and waives delivery fees at eligible stores, but service fees of 10–15% still apply. Grocery item prices on DoorDash carry markups set by the store partner, not DoorDash itself.

Store Selection & Availability8/10

55,000+ grocery and convenience store locations including Safeway, Albertsons, Kroger, 7-Eleven, and Walgreens — the largest grocery and convenience footprint of any restaurant-first delivery app.

Delivery Speed & Reliability7/10

Most grocery orders arrive within 30–60 minutes. Convenience store orders from partners like 7-Eleven can arrive in under 30 minutes. DoorDash is among the top-rated food delivery apps on iOS.

Membership Value & Overlap7/10

DashPass at $9.99 per month covers both restaurant and grocery delivery with no delivery fee on eligible orders. For anyone ordering food delivery 2+ times per week, the fee pays for itself without a separate grocery membership.

App Experience & Support8/10

Among the highest-rated food delivery apps on iOS — reflects strong app polish, reliable order tracking, and a credit and refund system that resolves most issues in-app.

Healthy Selection6/10

DoorDash's October 2025 Kroger partnership opened Kroger's full grocery assortment — including fresh foods and its 'Our Brand' private label — across nearly 2,700 stores (Ralphs, Fred Meyer, Harris Teeter, Mariano's), on top of Albertsons/Safeway's roughly 2,000 banner stores, but the app's own search and filtering is less developed than a dedicated grocery app for isolating organic or dietary-specific items.

PROS
55,000+ grocery and convenience store locations including Kroger, Albertsons, Walgreens, and 7-Eleven.
Top-rated iOS App Store score among delivery apps, reflecting consistent order tracking and in-app issue resolution.
DashPass at $9.99 per month covers both restaurant and grocery delivery fee waivers — one subscription for both use cases.
Convenience store delivery from 7-Eleven and Dollar General arrives in under 30 minutes.
DashPass is included free with select Chase credit cards and some student plans.
Credits for late or incorrect orders are applied automatically to your account within minutes of reporting, without a support call.
CONS
Grocery item prices are set by the store partner. Markups may apply on top of DashPass and prices are not always shown clearly vs. in-store.
Service fees of 10–15% of the subtotal apply even with DashPass. A $60 grocery order still carries a $6–$9 service fee after the delivery fee is waived.
DoorDash is built for restaurant delivery. The grocery experience — search, substitutions, shopper chat — is less developed than Instacart's dedicated grocery interface.
No dedicated personal shopper is assigned to grocery orders. Substitution communication is inconsistent.
DashPass at $9.99 per month is more expensive annually than Walmart+ at $98 per year if you use it only for groceries.
Alcohol delivery availability varies by market and store.
