Compare Skip and Pleit: Skip+ Cost, Calories, Protein

Updated · By Natasha, Founder, Pleit

SkipTheDishes, or Skip, is a Canadian food delivery app. Pleit is an AI assistant that helps you choose what to order from a goal like “under 500 calories with 30g of protein”, and it doesn’t deliver.

What’s the difference between Pleit and SkipTheDishes?

Skip takes your order and delivers it. Pleit helps before that, when you know what you need from a meal but not which meal it is.

Can you find high-protein or low-calorie food on SkipTheDishes?

You can, but you have to do the comparing. Skip shows calories when the restaurant provides them, and Ontario requires chains with 20 or more locations to post calories on online menus and ordering apps.

Protein, carbs and fat depend on what each restaurant lists. To rank meals by protein, you’d usually check each chain’s nutrition guide.

Pleit does that ranking for you. Ask “most protein under 500 calories” and it checks 1,168 meals at 22 chains, then returns three picks with the numbers.

At launch, Pleit is also planned to log the meal you pick to your calorie-counting app. Try the flow in this prototype; the picks are real.

  • Use Skip when you know your order and want it delivered.
  • Use Pleit when you have a goal, like a calorie limit or a protein target, and want the meal that fits.

Pleit’s app is planned to compare delivery apps, the restaurant’s own delivery and pickup in one total. That isn’t live yet.

Frequently asked questions

What’s the difference between Pleit and SkipTheDishes?

SkipTheDishes delivers food. Pleit suggests which meal fits your goal, with nutrition from official chain guides, and you order it wherever you like.

Is SkipTheDishes only in Canada?

Yes. SkipTheDishes operates in Canada. Pleit’s current data also covers Canadian chain menus.

How much is Skip+?

Skip+ costs $9.99 a month, plus tax. It includes $0 delivery fees on almost every order and reduced service fees.

Is Skip+ worth it?

It depends on how often you order. If the delivery and service fees you save each month add up to more than $9.99, it pays for itself.

Does SkipTheDishes show calories?

Often, for large chains. Ontario requires chains with 20 or more locations in the province to show calories, including on apps used to order. Smaller restaurants aren’t covered.

Can I search SkipTheDishes by protein?

Protein depends on what each restaurant lists. Pleit is built for that search: ask for a protein target and every pick meets it.

Is Skip cheaper than DoorDash?

It depends on the restaurant, the distance and promotions. Skip+ and DashPass both cost $9.99 a month, so compare checkout totals for the same order. See DoorDash vs Uber Eats vs SkipTheDishes.

Does Pleit replace SkipTheDishes?

No. Pleit doesn’t deliver. It helps you choose, and you can still order on Skip, another app, or directly from the restaurant.

When does Pleit launch?

The Pleit app launches in 2027. You can try a preview on the pleit.ca homepage and browse the restaurant directory today.
