Plan structure and pricing tiers

The tier ladder splits across Pay-per-order for testing the service, talabat Pro subscription for everyday use, and talabat for Business for power users or households. Anchor pricing for 2026: talabat Pro AED/SAR/KWD ~15-25/month for free delivery. Consult Subger's true-price tracker for Talabat for all-in renewal costs after taxes and FX conversion.
