Why operators pick us
One platform, one rate, and nothing held back behind a higher tier.
$0 a month, $0 setup, no contract. You pay 4.9% when a booking is paid for and nothing in a month you do not rent.
Online and in-person POS, GPS tracking, waivers, ID verification, maintenance, kiosks, and 20+ more features, all on the one rate.
AI damage detection, ID verification, dynamic pricing and automated workflows are part of the platform, not an add-on module.
Included on every plan
One rate covers all of it. There is no feature gating, no module to unlock, no premium tier, and no add-on pricing.
All features included. $0 a month. 4.9% per transaction, which you can choose to pass on to your customers.
Side by side
Quoted from each company's own pricing page on the date shown. Where a company does not publish a figure, we say nothing rather than guess.
| Platform | Published subscription | Published booking fee | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| RentalTide | $0 | 4.9% per booking, optionally capped at $25 on a paid plan | this site |
| Checkfront | $99 per month | 3% online booking fee | checkfront.com/pricing |
A percentage on its own is not a price. Checkfront charges a monthly subscription as well as its booking fee and RentalTide does not, and neither figure covers card processing, which both platforms bill separately. Work out your own number from the table below rather than comparing percentages. Figures are quoted from each company's own public pricing page, read on 24 August 2026.
