✓DashPass at $9.99 per month covers both restaurant and grocery delivery fee waivers — one subscription for both use cases.

✓DashPass is included free with select Chase credit cards and some student plans.

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.
