Comparison
Bike Rental Manager is the closest product in this list. The front end and the inventory management are much the same shape as ours. The difference is everything that happens after the order is taken.
Bike Rental Manager understands rental inventory, because it was built for it rather than adapted from ticketing. Sizing, fleets, multi-day hire and the counter workflow are all handled without the workarounds a seat-selling platform needs, and there are years of rental-specific detail behind it.
For a bike shop where customers walk in, collect a bike and ride off, it is a good product and this page is not going to talk you out of it. That is the operation it was designed for and it does it well.
It also has a longer track record in bike hire specifically, and a counter operation that has run on it for years has a working setup that is worth something on its own.
Every comparison on this site opens this way, before the argument. Why that is.
The gap opens after the order exists. Logistics planning, delivery and pickup sequencing, proof that an unattended drop happened, and the guest messaging that runs off the same record are not part of Bike Rental Manager. For a counter operation none of that is missed. For an operator running vans every morning it is the morning.
Seasonal pricing is the other one, and it is the difference that applies even to a pure counter shop. Rates by date range, day of week and length of stay, edited by the operator with no vendor lead time, are not published as a native capability by Bike Rental Manager, FareHarbor or Peek Pro. A peak week priced like a shoulder week costs more over a season than any platform fee on this page.
A sobriety check is not a difference worth claiming here. Bike Rental Manager serves bike shops, and a breathalyzer against a listed driver is a question for golf carts, scooters and boats rather than for a hybrid on a beach path.
Above a certain booking volume a flat annual subscription costs less as a percentage of revenue than any per-booking rate, including this one. The savings calculator shows where the two cross for your numbers, and it will tell you when the answer is the other platform.

Bike Rental Manager publishes two models. The subscription is annual and priced by fleet size: $859 for up to 50 rental items, $1,299 for up to 100, $2,199 for up to 250 and $3,769 for up to 10,000, with annual billing about 20% cheaper than monthly. The alternative is usage-based at 4% per booking with no subscription, and their platform lets that 4% be passed to the customer.
Read the subscription tiers as a fleet-size question. At 250 units the Gold tier is $2,199 a year whatever you book against them, which is why a busy operator does better on a subscription and a quiet one does better on a percentage. The calculator names your own crossover.
The subscription is the one cost on this page that cannot be handed to the guest. Their usage-based 4% can be added to the customer's total, and so can our 4.5%, but a $2,199 annual bill has no line at checkout to sit on. It comes out of your margin whatever kind of season you have, and a quiet one costs exactly what a busy one does.
How much of our 4.5% the guest carries is your setting rather than ours. Pass on all of it, none of it, or any share in between. Pass on none and it is a 4.5% cost of sale you have chosen to absorb, and your guest sees no booking fee at all; pass on all of it and it never touches your margin. That choice is what a subscription does not give you.
The half point between their 4% and our 4.5% is worth stating exactly, because it is small and it buys a lot. On a $225 reservation it is $1.13, and both rates are added at checkout and paid by your customer, so neither one is money leaving your business.
What that $1.13 buys is the entire back half of the operation: delivery and pickup runs sequenced into a single loop, proof that an unattended drop happened, guest messaging tied to the order, seasonal rate tables you edit yourself, and cancellation protection. On the 4% plan those are not features you pay less for. They are absent, and the spreadsheet, the routing app and the shared inbox that replace them cost more than $1.13 a booking to run.
For a counter shop that needs none of it, the cheaper rate is the right answer and we would rather you took it.
Bodhisys has no monthly fee. A 4.5% charge is added to each reservation and paid by your customer at checkout, and nothing else is billed by us.

Bodhisys is rental operations software built for physical inventory, charging no monthly fee and adding 4.5% to each reservation, paid by the customer at checkout.

An operator whose revenue is mostly timed tours with rental inventory alongside it should choose the incumbent.
On a delivery operation, Bodhisys, because the routing, the proof of delivery and the guest messaging are included rather than bought and run separately. On rate alone their usage-based plan is 4% against our 4.5%, which is $1.13 on a $225 reservation and is paid by your customer either way. The savings calculator names the crossover against their subscription for your own numbers.
Delivery and pickup sequencing, proof of delivery, guest messaging tied to the order, seasonal rate tables you edit yourself, and cancellation protection. On a $225 reservation that is $1.13, added at checkout and paid by your customer.
Yes, and you choose how much. Anything from none of the 4.5% to all of it can be added to the guest's total, and whatever you do not pass on comes out of your margin. A subscription cannot be handled that way. Bike Rental Manager's annual tiers are a fixed bill with nothing at checkout to attach them to, which is why a quiet season costs the same as a busy one.
Annual tiers by fleet size from $859 to $3,769, or a usage-based plan at 4% per booking with no subscription. Both are their published figures; confirm them directly.
Delivery and pickup sequencing, proof of delivery, guest messaging tied to the order, cancellation protection, and seasonal rate tables the operator edits. Everything after the booking exists.
Probably not on this evidence. If customers come to you and ride off, the parts that justify the move are parts you would not use.
Yes. Customers, future reservations and booking history move across.
