Editorial summary — norms vary by region within each country and shift over time. Read the local mood.
Wolt
Wolt dominates Budapest; foodpanda and Bolt Food fill gaps.
Editorial pick based on which app actually has restaurants AND working couriers in this city. Coverage shifts — apps pull out of markets all the time.
Bolt
Uber pulled out of Hungary in 2016 — Bolt is the only major foreign-friendly app. Főtaxi is the legacy local taxi alternative.
Editorial pick based on coverage, foreign-card UX, and how reliably drivers actually accept trips. Markets shift — apps pull out of countries and surge pricing varies wildly.
