In their own words
Booqable
Booqable is cloud-based rental software for managing orders, inventory, quotes, contracts, invoices, and real-time availability. It includes a ready-made booking page and website integrations compatible with WordPress, Shopify, Squarespace, Lovable, and more. Its mobile point-of-sale app for iOS and Android supports orders, payments, signatures, and barcode scanning, though it does not include every browser feature: full setup, configuration, reporting, and account management require a desktop browser. Integrations include payment services such as Stripe, PayPal, Square, Adyen, Mercado Pago, Teya, and Mollie, as well as tools including Zapier, Xero, Mailchimp, Weglot, and Google Analytics 4. Booqable provides a RESTful JSON API, which is in beta and may change in ways that are not backwards-compatible. The paid service has a 14-day trial and no free plan. Start costs $29 a month billed yearly, or $35 a month; Grow and Scale cost 69.00 USD and $149 a month billed yearly, respectively.

Its mobile-optimized interface supports warehouse picking, putaway, barcode scanning, inventory lookups, receiving, and shipping. Integrations include a REST API, webhooks, n8n, OpenFn, Boomi, Crowdin, and DHIS2. The Community Edition is 0.00 USD and supports self-hosting, with community support. Paid options include Self-Hosted at $24 a month, Shared Lift from $75 a month, and Dedicated Lift from $899 a month with a 12-month minimum term. Cloud deployment requires consistent internet connectivity; on-premise deployment requires supporting hardware and people.
