Questions

A friend suggested Booqable for creating an equipment rental website, and after exploring the software, I found it to be a good fit for startups. However, when I calculated the overall cost for the next two years, it seemed to be on the higher side. Are there other solutions that could help save money while still providing the necessary features for an equipment rental business?

Great question! Booqable is a solid option, especially for startups, but I totally get how the costs can pile up over time, it’s like renting equipment to save money but ending up renting *your wallet*.

Alternatives like Rentle, Quipli, or EZRentOut are worth exploring. Rentle, for example, is super beginner-friendly and offers flexible pricing, while EZRentOut has robust features like inventory tracking and invoicing at a more affordable rate. If you’re tech-savvy, you could also explore custom WordPress setups using rental plugins like WooCommerce Bookings—it’s cheaper but may require a bit more tinkering.

Ultimately, the best choice depends on your unique needs, like whether you’re focused on online bookings, in-store rentals, or both. I’d love to help you weigh the options, look at costs, and map out a solution tailored to your business. Let’s hop on a call and get into the details!
