Why owners switch to Pandarly
- Your team is not capped at one login on the entry price.
- Card payments run through PayWavez inside Pandarly, so there is no separate payment app to connect and no extra percentage on top.
- You can pass card fees to your customers with dual pricing or a credit-only surcharge.
- Payments, bookings and invoices live in one place, so there is nothing to reconcile between apps.
When Booqable may still fit
Booqable is a mature product with a large app store, and it is a reasonable pick if you sell rentals in several countries and currencies.
If you want rental software with payments included and a price that does not climb as you grow, Pandarly is built for you.
