The best decision you will make for your business!
Reviewed on 12/3/2024
Pros
Coming from the vacation rental world, I had a lot of "must haves" in the software.
I knew I needed a software company that included a website/webpage, a place to book clients and a backend that would work seamlessly between my business partner and I, so we could stay on the same page. With the ability to communicate in real time with quotes and booking contracts, Booqable exceeded my expectations.
Cons
The mobile site and pc view have slight off center discrepancies.

Horrible. The app is beyond basic and they promise so much without any delivery.
Horrible. The app is beyond basic and they promise so much without any delivery.
Pros
Hmm...their logo...and that's about it...
Cons
Booqable is useless. They have minimal features and always promise to work on "adding more". If you want a booking app that is anything above the bare bones, look elsewhere. Coupon codes? Can't get them unless you're on their unfairly priced Pro Plan. Customization options for your rentals? Good luck. The kicker is that they enforce their extremely strict no-refund policy even when they have made errors. They unfairly charged me for an extra location (I'm a tiny business just starting out...definitely not more than one location) and will not budge on the $300 dollars they owe me for that. I switched to using IZY Rent through Shopify and I am MUCH happier with my experience. I wish I didn't have to learn the hard way and lose $600. It might not seem like a lot, but when you're running a small business, it's everything.

Overall it has been a good experience, but I do wish they had a few extra features and my bugs would get fixed. I like the price and features it has though. It does make like easier for a running a rental business.
Pros
Price, ease of use adding products and processing orders. Lots of great features as well and helpful customer service when you need help.
Cons
Discounts:
Need more rules for coupons like start/end date, spending a certain amount of money, not being able to use more than one coupon code at a time and how many times a coupon code can be used.
Dynamic delivery:
Being able to make a delivery fee mandatory or charging more for certain distance.
Minimum order amount:
Need to be able to set a minimum order amount before people can check out.
Slow/ phoneless customer service:
Though they are helpful when you have questions, it takes entirely too long to get help. Sometimes you wait 12+ hrs for help and no help on the weekends.
Powered by Booqable:
Having to pay for the most expensive package to be able to remove this from the cart is something I don't like. You should be able to remove it with any package.
Coding bug fixes:
Right now I have two big issues I have been dealing with for over a week that still haven't been fixed that makes my site not look right. 1. My checkout page and pay page aren't fitting correct on mobile devices and 2. The continue to payment button shows over my terms and conditions pop up. I waiting for the programmers to fix this, but it's been over a week.

It is really great, the customer service is top notch and it is very clear what has been rented and when and what the order status is.
Pros
It is super easy and clear to use, customers can place bookings via the site themselves and you can never rent out without having any stock.
Cons
I like everything, but if I really have to say something, it is that I want to adjust the site a little more and that customers can choose other languages on the website because my customers speak different languages.

Booquable's low monthly price and support made them a great temporary solution for our company while we learned the ropes of online rental platforms. We knew we would invest in creating a custom rental website in the future, but needed a solution fast. and got a custom site together. Overall I found the Booquable team helpful and enthusiastic and willing to find creative solutions as long as the basic framework of their system supported a workaround. Where it didn't, I looked at how I could adjust our process to make it fit.
Pros
Booquable is relatively easy to set up and doesn't require building a website from scratch to have a unique shop presence.
Cons
Booquable is clearly modeled on a short-term rental business model. As long as you are taking full payment upfront for a simple fee, this site is a breeze. That said, it has some quirks when attempting long-term monthly contracts. The pricing display requires a workaround you'll need the Booquable team for. Most unusual is the need to express your first (or first and last) months rental payment as a percentage of the total contract. Making this match up to the round number you advertised the monthly rental rate at is nearly impossible. To top it off, there is no ability to set up automatic recurring payments. This means your staff gets to manually process every rental payment on the agreed-upon monthly date, and just put that in their calendars somewhere, I guess. As I say, if you do short-term rentals, none of these issues come up.

Love it! We look professional, we can manage our business, never over booking, the calendar syncs with our Google calendars so we can see at a glance what is up next. We are not bogged down with a system that requires a full time admin person to run it, its quick and easy. Its focusd on cloent orders and managing inventory ( in and out) and nothing else
Pros
Its easy to use, affordable, can be used for both rentals and sales plus can be used as onlinr store or linked with a website, it also has build in payment features such as stripe
Cons
The system is geared for customer pickup, we deliver 95% of our orders, delivery fees are based on distance. We do not allow clients to book direct through an online platform because most of our inventory is delivery only, i wish there was a way to set up delivery with the system, it would save us a lot of back and forth with emails

Booqable has helped me grow so much over the past couple of years. I remember when I first found Booqable right before I was about to purchase with another rental software company, I was a little skeptical because the company was in the UK somewhere but everyone I talked to was so nice and respectful, they told me to do the free trail and since then I haven’t looked back. Since then I have started two different companies with Booqable and seeking more.

I like the customer support and the customizability and the way it looks nice on my website. I also like the transparent pricing and features on their website.
Cons
It seems to mostly expect you to rent out products by the hour, and we do it by half day blocks, so we've had to do some workarounds to set it up the way we want, and some aspects are still a little clunky on the backend and front end as a result.

Babybarn's Booqable Review
Reviewed on 23/7/2024
Pros
Booqable made it possible for us to launch our rental service in a very cost-efficient manner. It would not have been possible without them. Their system is very robust for the base functionaliteit of a rental system: booking, reservation and asset tracking over time. The website builder is very intuitive and you can really get great and professional results without getting into the technicalities. Also the existing links with external apps work very well. I'm particulary happy about the flexible payment and invoicing options provided by booqable and the collaboration with Stripe.
Cons
While Booqable has proven to provide great value and support for launching our rental company, it's just not quite flexible enough in some regards. For example: delivery options are very limited, it's not possible to set article (or variant) specific rental periods, pop-ups for marketing actions or mailing list subscription is not possible when using the booqable website builder, neither is a chatbot. All not really business-critical, but would be nice to have.

I am working with booqable since 2 years now and I am overall quite happy with the software. Generally speaking the software works and the customer support is quick in helping out when there is an issue. When you are in need of an easy to use Software to start your rental business with I can highly recommend Booqable. You get a lot of rental Software for an interesting price. Also, they are working on improvements continually and are updating the product regularly.
Pros
Booqable comes with an easy to use App, which I can use at my rental. Since I am running a rental operation without a physical store this feature is essential. Also, the booqable API gives plenty of options to automize operations.
Cons

Reviewed on 21/7/2024
Pros
The feature that stood out the most to me about Booqable was its user-friendly interface. It made the process of managing rentals incredibly straightforward and efficient. Additionally, the seamless integration with other tools and the responsive customer support were major plus points. The flexibility in customization also allowed me to tailor the system to fit our specific business needs perfectly. Overall, Booqable significantly streamlined our rental operations, saving us both time and effort.
Cons
While Booqable offers many great features, I found that its pricing structure could be more transparent and flexible. The lack of detailed tutorials or guides for some advanced features was a bit challenging initially. Additionally, I encountered occasional glitches with the mobile app, which slightly hindered our on-the-go operations. Improving these areas would make the overall experience even better.
