Which one fits?
Louez fits if…
You need a rental store with a calendar, agreements, deposits and inspections, with no fixed cost until you rent. Louez's source code is public and it can be self-hosted.
Twice Commerce fits if…
You need rentals, resale and product subscriptions on one platform, want to sell on several channels from one stock, or build your own flows on a complete API.
Where they really differ
What you are billed on
Twice charges per location and takes a share of every payment, so the bill grows with revenue. At Louez, a booking's price does not depend on the order value.
Rentals only, or circular commerce
Twice also handles resale, buyback and product subscriptions, with kiosks and marketplaces. Louez sticks to rentals, from the store to the return.
Technical openness
Twice's whole admin runs on its public API. Louez publishes its source code and offers an API and an MCP server; you can also host it yourself.
