What Dorsia does
Dorsia is not monitoring anything. It negotiates access directly with restaurants and sells that access as a membership with a minimum spend attached. It belongs in this comparison only because people evaluating alert services often run into it, and it solves a different problem at a very different price.
Membership tiers run from roughly $175 per year to $25,000 per year, with minimum spend commitments at the restaurant.
