What you pay
Louez
On pay-per-booking, each confirmed booking costs $1 down to $0.30 depending on your monthly volume, and a month without rentals costs nothing. The store, payments, deposits, agreements and inspections are included, with unlimited team members. A subscription is also available, from $49 a month. Payment processing fees are separate.
Booqable
Start costs $35 a month, or $29 billed yearly, for one user and one location. Grow ($87) adds five users, e-signatures and the API; Scale ($187) adds ten users and multiple locations. The website builder, mobile point of sale and barcode scanning cost extra. Booqable takes no cut of your revenue.

Which one fits?
Louez fits if…
Your business follows the seasons and you would rather pay when you rent. You want agreements validated automatically, photo inspections and a customer portal without changing plans, and a team with no per-user cost.
Booqable fits if…
You want to build your website with a full editor and templates, take payments at the counter with a mobile point of sale and barcodes, or run several locations in a tool thousands of rental businesses already use.
Where they really differ
How you are billed
Booqable charges a monthly plan that rises with users and locations. Louez charges per confirmed booking, on a sliding scale, or a subscription if you prefer.
The website
Booqable offers a website builder with more than 80 templates, as an add-on. Louez provides a ready-made booking store and a widget for your existing site, without a full website builder.
Agreements and inspections
At Booqable, e-signatures start with Grow, and photo inspections are not presented. From the first booking, Louez includes photo inspections and contracts the customer signs by accepting the rental terms online.
