OUR VERDICT
DoorDash

Best for: People who already use DoorDash for restaurant delivery and want to add grocery and convenience store runs under one DashPass subscription. You get both use cases for $9.99 per month without paying for a second membership.

Try DoorDash
Postmates

Best for: LA-area residents who prefer Postmates' local restaurant and store catalog over Uber Eats' interface. Both use the same Uber driver network, but Postmates has deeper local merchant relationships in Southern California.
