FlyBook alternative

    A FlyBook alternative with zero monthly fees

    RentalTide runs outdoor recreation, adventure and equipment rental operations on one platform for $0 a month and a flat 4.9% per transaction. AI damage detection, GPS tracking, POS terminals, waivers and ID verification are included at that rate rather than bought separately.

    No credit card required. Cancel anytime. Card processing is billed separately at your local rate.

    Included at 4.9%

    What outdoor recreation operators get

    Every capability below is on the free plan. There is no add-on tier, no per-seat charge and no setup fee.

    Real-time GPS tracking

    Geofences, movement alerts and recovery on every asset. Free integration with trackers you already own, or our own hardware for $10 a month.

    AI damage detection

    Photo inspections at pickup and return, with damage flagged automatically before the next customer is handed the keys.

    POS terminals and payments

    Card readers, open tabs and cash drawers for walk-up customers, on the same flat rate as an online booking.

    Self-service kiosks

    Customers check themselves in, sign the waiver and pay without tying up a staff member at the counter.

    Maintenance management

    Service schedules, hour meters and work orders tied to each asset, so equipment comes off the line before it fails on a customer.

    Camera surveillance integration

    Transaction video through our Solink partnership, so a disputed rental has the footage attached to it.

    Feature comparison: FlyBook vs. RentalTide

    See why businesses are switching from FlyBook to RentalTide. This table states only what we can show a reader, which is our own published pricing and the one capability both platforms plainly provide.

    Why two cells above are blank

    We only quote a competitor's price when the vendor publishes a figure that stands on its own, with no conditions a reader cannot see. We could not do that for FlyBook when we checked on 24 August 2026, so this page states no rate for them rather than printing a number that might not be the one you would be charged. Ask them for their rate in writing, then put it next to ours.

    The rate

    Why outdoor recreation businesses choose RentalTide

    Guided tours, adventure parks, equipment rentals and lodges all run on the same rate. Here is exactly what it is.

    What RentalTide charges

    • $0 a month, no contract, no setup fee
    • 4.9% per transaction, the same rate online and at the counter
    • You pay when a booking is paid for, not on the first of the month
    • Card processing billed separately at your local rate

    Our own published pricing, on this site at /pricing.

    What that rate already covers

    • Real-time GPS tracking on every asset
    • AI damage detection on pickup and return photos
    • Physical POS terminals and self-service kiosks
    • Digital waivers, ID verification and dynamic pricing
    • 25+ further features, with no add-on tier

    Operators typically cancel several separate subscriptions when they move to one platform. The consolidation panel at the foot of this page lists them.

    Questions

    Switching from FlyBook

    The three questions operators ask before they move, answered with figures rather than adjectives.

    Why switch from FlyBook to RentalTide?

    RentalTide includes GPS tracking, AI damage detection, POS software and dynamic pricing on its free plan, at one flat 4.9% per transaction with no monthly fee. Physical card terminals are leased separately at a per-terminal monthly rate.

    Does RentalTide support activity booking like FlyBook?

    Yes, RentalTide handles activity and tour bookings plus equipment rentals, boat rentals, and more with advanced automation.

    How does RentalTide pricing compare to FlyBook?

    RentalTide has zero monthly fees and charges 4.9% per transaction, with every feature included at that rate. We do not state a FlyBook rate here. We only quote a competitor's price when the vendor publishes a figure that stands on its own, and we could not do that when we checked on 24 August 2026, so ask them for their number in writing and compare it against ours.

    Every advanced feature, no monthly fee

    GPS tracking, AI damage detection, kiosks and maintenance management run on the same flat 4.9%, with nothing owed on a month you do not trade.

    • GPS and AI included
    • No monthly fees
    • No setup fee
