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.
Lokki
Lokki presents its prices during a demo. The site mentions a subscription based on your stock, payable monthly, a launch fee and transaction fees on online payments. Users are unlimited.
Which one fits?
Louez fits if…
You want to know your price before calling anyone, pay according to your bookings rather than your stock, and be able to audit the code or host the tool yourself.
Lokki fits if…
You want visibility through a consumer marketplace, or you need workshop, guided activities, equipment insurance or point-of-sale modules in the same tool.
Where they really differ
How the price is set
Lokki sets a subscription based on your stock, with a launch fee. Louez charges per confirmed booking, or a fixed subscription, with no setup fee.
Visibility
Lokki Rent lists more than 5,000 rental shops to consumers, with no commission. Louez has no marketplace: your customers book on your own store.
Technical openness
Lokki's API reads stores and products. Louez publishes its source code and offers an API and an MCP server; you can host it yourself.
