Comparison
Hilda AI vs. Loman AI
Loman AI is the strongest product in this category for restaurant phone ordering, and its customer proof is the best of anyone we compare against, over a thousand restaurants live, with real numbers on video. We are not going to pretend otherwise. The question is whether ordering is your whole problem.
| Hilda AI | Loman AI | |
|---|---|---|
| Restaurants | Yes | Yes (the entire focus) |
| Hotels | Yes | Not a stated focus |
| Published pricing | $199 / month, published | Named tiers (Starter, Premium) on Loman's own pricing page, but dollar figures sit behind "Contact Us"; third parties report roughly $199/mo Starter and $299–399/mo Premium |
| Card payments on the call | No | Yes |
| POS integrations | Toast, Clover | Toast (official Partner Ecosystem member), Square, Clover, SpotOn, Shift4 Dine (added 2026-06-03, via the Shift4 marketplace) |
| Concurrent calls | Unlimited | Up to 50 on the entry tier |
| Published customer proof | Limited | Extensive, on video (reported live in 1,500+ restaurants) |
Compared against Loman AI's published product and pricing pages, verified July 2026. Toast partner status and restaurant count updated 2026-08-11 from Loman's July 20, 2026 announcement that it joined the official Toast Partner Ecosystem (native integration). Pricing row updated 2026-08-15: loman.ai was unreachable directly from this environment (network egress blocked session-wide), so this is search-corroborated rather than a direct site visit. Search results describe loman.ai/pricing as showing named Starter/Premium tiers with dollar amounts hidden behind "Contact Us", consistent across multiple independent sources (SpotSaaS, RestaurantTools.ai). Third-party reviews (Bite Buddy, SaaSWorthy) report approximate figures: Starter around $149–199/month, Premium around $299–399/month, Premium adding takeout/delivery ordering, reservations and POS integrations, but these are third-party-reported numbers, not confirmed on loman.ai directly, and sources don't agree on billing structure (some describe unlimited calls, others a 500-minute cap with per-minute overage), so treat the dollar figures as approximate. Updated 2026-08-17: added Shift4 Dine to the POS-integration row, per a 2026-06-03 partnership announcement (BusinessWire, syndicated by Morningstar, Yahoo Finance and StockTitan); Loman is reported live with "hundreds of Shift4-powered restaurants" and available to all Shift4 Dine customers via the Shift4 marketplace. loman.ai remained unreachable from this environment this run (network egress blocked session-wide), so this is press-corroborated only, same as the rest of this note. Verify at loman.ai before deciding.
