RaspberryPints vs BeerMenus: Menu Displays or Menu Discovery?
This is less a head-to-head and more a fork in the road. RaspberryPints is software for the screens inside your venue. BeerMenus is a distribution network where beer lovers search for what is pouring nearby. Plenty of breweries need one of these, some need both, and it pays to know which problem each one solves.
At a Glance: Who Each Product Is Really For
Choose RaspberryPints if...
RaspberryPints is built for the in-venue experience. You design TV displays with a drag-and-drop editor, print PDF menus that match, embed your taplist on your website, and hand customers a QR code, all updated from one place in seconds. A free plan covers up to 3 taps, and Professional adds keg tracking and a partner API at $19.99 per month.
Choose BeerMenus if...
BeerMenus is built for discovery. It is a network where beer lovers search for bars and bottle shops by what they have pouring, so listing your menu there is about being found, not about how your taproom screens look. It offers print menus and a hosted menu page, but custom TV menu design is not the point of the product.

When BeerMenus Might Be the Better Fit
These tools solve different problems, so the honest comparison is about which problem you have. BeerMenus can be the better fit when:
- Your priority is being found by beer lovers searching for what is pouring near them, not upgrading your in-venue screens.
- You want your menu distributed across a discovery network rather than displayed on TVs you control.
- A simple listing plus print menus covers your needs and TV menu design is not on your roadmap.
- You run a bottle shop or bar where discovery traffic matters more than taproom presentation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is BeerMenus the same kind of product as RaspberryPints?
Not really. BeerMenus is a menu distribution and discovery network where beer lovers search for venues by what they have available. RaspberryPints is display software for the screens, print menus, website embeds, and QR codes inside and around your own venue. One helps people find you, the other shapes what they see once they care.
Can I use RaspberryPints and BeerMenus together?
Yes, and for some venues that is the right answer. Use BeerMenus for discovery if its network is active in your area, and use RaspberryPints to run your TV displays, printable menus, and QR menus. They occupy different parts of the customer journey.
Does RaspberryPints offer print menus like BeerMenus?
Yes. RaspberryPints generates printable PDF menus from the same taplist that drives your TV displays, so your print menu, TV menu, website embed, and QR menu always agree with each other after a single update.
What does RaspberryPints cost?
The free plan covers up to 3 taps. Basic is $3.99 per month for up to 8 taps, and Professional is $19.99 per month for up to 100 taps with keg tracking and partner API access. There are no contracts and you can cancel anytime.
