Pricing
RentalTide is an AI-powered rental management platform that charges only a small percentage per transaction. No monthly subscriptions and no setup costs. Every software feature is included at that rate. Hardware and per-unit costs are listed below rather than buried: card processing, terminal leases, phone numbers and marina slips.
No credit card required. Cancel anytime. Card processing is billed separately at your local rate.
The rate
Every feature is free at 4.9% per booking. If your bookings are large enough, you can choose to cap that fee at $25 each. Nobody has to.
Free plan, every feature
4.9%per booking
$0 a month, no contract, cancel whenever.
One plan. Every feature below is included on the free plan.
There is no higher tier to buy up into. Every feature above, API access and webhooks included, ships on the free plan at 4.9% per booking.
Billed separately
The 4.9% covers the software. These are hardware and per-unit costs, and they are the only other things RentalTide bills.
Optional paid plans
$25fee ceiling
The most any one booking can cost, from $2,400 a year. The rate stays 4.9% on every plan; what you buy is the ceiling. A paid plan unlocks no features, because the free plan already has all of them.
Paid plans also get 50% off Vectra GPS
Vectra is our GPS tracking product, billed per tracker per month. While a paid RentalTide plan is active, every Vectra subscription on your account is half price, on the trackers you already run as well as any you add. Sign in on Vectra with your RentalTide email and it applies at checkout. No code to enter.
Work it out
Set your bookings and your average booking value. We will show what free costs you, what each paid plan costs, and say plainly when staying free is the cheaper option. Most operators are better off free, and we would rather tell you that up front.
At your volume a paid plan would cost you more, so do not buy one. Free has every feature, no contract, and no monthly bill. Come back if your average booking value or volume grows.
One line, not six
Drag the slider to your annual revenue. One rate covers booking, POS, terminals, waivers, GPS and ID verification, so this is the whole platform bill rather than the first of six.

Side by side
Only platforms that publish their pricing publicly are listed, quoted from their own pricing page on the date shown. Where a company does not publish a price, 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 page |
| Checkfront | $99 per month | 3% online booking fee | checkfront.com/pricing |
| Booqable | $35 per month, or $29 billed annually | No commission on bookings | booqable.com/pricing |
| Rezdy | $49 per month on Foundation | 3% per online booking, plus $1 per agent booking | rezdy.com/pricing |
| Quipli | $6,000 per year, per location, on Core | Not stated on their pricing page | quipli.com/pricing |
These figures are not published by the companies themselves. They are what independent software directories report, quoted with the date we read them, and we have not been able to verify them with the vendor. Treat them as a starting point for your own questions, not as their price.
A percentage on its own is not a price. Rezdy and Checkfront charge a monthly subscription as well, and none of the figures in this table, ours included, cover card processing, which every platform bills separately. Work out your own number in the calculator above rather than comparing percentages. Figures are quoted from each company's own public pricing page, read on 24 August 2026. Prices change, and these may be out of date by the time you read this: check the linked page before deciding. Platforms that do not publish a price, or that quote only on request, are not listed. Product and company names are the trademarks of their respective owners, are used here only to identify those products, and do not imply any affiliation with or endorsement by them. If you believe anything here is inaccurate, tell us at sales@rentaltide.com and we will correct it.
Answers
Everything you need to know about RentalTide pricing and features.
RentalTide is free. Zero monthly fees, zero setup fees, every feature included, and you pay 4.9% per booking. If your volume or your average booking value is high enough, you can choose to pay for a plan (from $2,400 a year) that caps the fee at $25 per booking. The rate stays 4.9% on every plan; what you buy is the ceiling. That is entirely optional and the calculator on this page will tell you honestly when it is not worth it. Card processing is billed separately at your local rate on every plan.
RentalTide is an AI-powered rental management platform for boat rentals, marinas, equipment rentals, tour operators, and other rental businesses. It includes online booking, physical POS terminals, GPS tracking, dynamic pricing, digital waivers, ID verification, and 25+ other features. Founded in 2025 and trusted by 100+ locations.
Across all RentalTide merchants, the platform's autonomous AI agents save a combined 2,700+ hours every month, roughly the output of 15 full-time employees or about $54,000 in monthly staffing costs at a $20/hour wage. The agents handle bookings, phone calls, damage inspections, pricing, and customer follow-ups automatically.
No. RentalTide charges zero monthly fees, no setup fees and no per-seat fees. You pay 4.9% per transaction, and every feature is included at that rate. Optional paid plans exist only to cap the per-booking fee at $25; they are never required.
RentalTide has no subscription at all: $0 a month, every feature, 4.9% per booking. Several rivals publish a subscription on top of a booking fee. Read on their own pricing pages on 24 August 2026: Checkfront lists $99 per month plus a 3% online booking fee; Rezdy lists $49 per month on Foundation plus 3% per online booking and $1 per agent booking; Booqable lists $35 per month, or $29 billed annually, and states no commission on bookings; Quipli lists $6,000 per year per location on Core. FareHarbor and Peek Pro publish no rate we could quote, so we do not state one for them. A percentage on its own is not a price, so compare the subscription and the rate together. Card processing is billed separately at your local rate, as it is on every platform.
RentalTide has no setup fees and needs no trial period. You start for free and only pay when you process transactions. There is no credit card required to sign up, and you can cancel anytime.
RentalTide processes payments through Stripe, supporting all major credit cards, debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and more. Physical POS terminals are available for in-person payments and tap-to-pay; the terminal hardware is leased at a per-terminal monthly rate, quoted before you order.
One thing, and it is in another product: 50% off Vectra GPS plans. Vectra is our GPS tracking product, billed per tracker per month, and while a paid RentalTide plan is active every Vectra subscription on your account is half price. Everything inside RentalTide itself is identical on every plan, including free. A plan buys a ceiling on your per-booking fee, not a longer feature list.
All features are included at one flat rate: online booking, POS terminals, GPS tracking, AI dynamic pricing, digital waivers, ID verification, damage detection, maintenance alerts, multi-location support, customer communications, reporting, and 25+ additional features. Nothing is locked behind a higher tier.
No. API access and webhooks are included on the free plan at 4.9% per booking, the same as every other feature. RentalTide has one plan. There is no developer tier, no premium tier and no add-on to license for API or webhook access, and no request quota that unlocks by paying. The optional paid plans cap the per-booking fee at $25; they do not add API access, because free already has it.
Four things, and none of them is a software feature. Card processing is billed separately at your local rate. Card terminals are leased at a per-terminal monthly rate. Phone numbers are $5 per number per month. Marina slip management is $10 per slip per month, and marinas on a block arrangement are quoted per block instead. Everything else, meaning every software feature in the product, is included at 4.9% per booking on every plan including free.
Yes. RentalTide provides physical POS terminals for in-person payments, tap-to-pay, and walk-up bookings. Staff can manually add bookings on the spot while customers can also book online 24/7.
