Laevo compared with Link2Feed
Link2Feed is deeply embedded in several regional food bank networks, and that is its real strength — if your food bank runs on it, your data flows where it needs to go without anyone doing anything.
Its pricing is per feature, so case management plus inventory plus scheduling stack up quickly. Pantries commonly describe landing above ninety dollars a month once they have the pieces they actually need.
Where they are better than us
Deep integration with several regional food bank networks. If your food bank requires Link2Feed reporting, switching may not be your decision to make.
Stay where you are if
- Your food bank requires Link2Feed reporting. This is the most common situation and switching may not be your decision to make — ask them before you spend an evening on it.
- You benefit from network-level aggregation across many agencies in your region.
- You need the case management depth for wraparound services beyond food.
Worth switching if
- You are an independent pantry paying for a network integration you do not use.
- You bought three features separately and only use one and a half.
- Your volunteers find it heavy, which is the usual complaint from a small team.

Laevo's own prices on this page come from the same file the billing system reads, so they cannot drift out of date. Costs for Link2Feed are ranges reported by pantry operators rather than published starting prices. If you have a current quote that contradicts one of these, send it to us and we will change the number.
Our honest verdict
If your food bank mandates it, the comparison is over and you should stay. If you are independent and paying per feature, Laevo does the pantry-side work for a fraction of it — but it will not talk to your food bank's system, and that is a genuine loss you should weigh.
