Hi, I just launched Rentify

Rentify is aimed at owners of small rental stores who currently take bookings via phone/email only but want to have a proper online store with online payments, etc. It provides card payments through Stripe and full inventory and schedule management.

Thanks for looking, Chris

Your pricing seems cheap. How does it compare to the market?

There are more expensive options out there, who are VC-backed. Their pricing is much higher (like £5k per year in some cases). This is a downstream opportunity - I'm targeting small rental businesses who currently take orders via email/phone only, who wouldn't necessarily have the budget for the more expensive players

The pricing also seems weird, the free plan has a 10% fee on all bookings while the paid one doesn't.

So after $300 worth of bookings, you are making more money off the "free" plan then the paid plan?

Pricing is still WIP, but essentially yes, if a user is putting even a small amount of revenue through this thing then it makes more sense to sign up for a standard account. I’m trying to encourage users to do this in order to get consistent revenue

I am interested in signing up to rent out my heavy equipment. I will message you directly.

How can I get in touch with you? Tried emailing the domain.

chris@rentify.store. I’ll put this in the landing page too
