Glovo review
A multi-category local marketplace with grocery delivery, pickup and scheduled orders.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
Glovo connects customers with local businesses and couriers through a multi-category on-demand service. Shoppers can browse grocery stores and supermarkets available in their city, order products for delivery, or choose pickup where a merchant offers it. The service also covers food, pharmacy and retail orders, plus courier deliveries, so it is an option for people who want local merchants in one marketplace rather than a grocery-only service. Glovo is available on web, iOS and Android, and its service model combines delivery and pickup options.
For grocery orders, the practical breadth depends on location: customers enter a delivery address to see participating stores and available options. Search supports finding products or establishments, while scheduling lets customers choose a delivery time. Real-time order tracking gives customers visibility after placing an order. Same-day and rapid delivery are supported, alongside scheduled windows, but the available stores, pickup choices and delivery terms can differ by city and merchant. This makes Glovo a better fit for shoppers prioritizing access to nearby participating businesses than for those seeking a consistent, dedicated supermarket catalog.
Glovo is freemium, with a free plan, and Glovo Prime is an optional monthly subscription. Prime provides free deliveries from selected stores and exclusive promotions; its offer and price vary by country, while delivery charges also vary by location. The subscription is most relevant to customers whose selected stores participate and whose order patterns make those benefits useful. Choose Glovo for local merchant variety, flexible fulfillment and the option to schedule; consider a dedicated grocery service instead if a uniform supermarket-focused assortment is the priority.
