Booqable or Sales Igniter: hosted rental software, or a rental store you own
Booqable is hosted rental software with a booking page, a website builder and embeds for the site you already have. Sales Igniter adds rental booking to your own WooCommerce, Magento 2 or Shopify store. Here is what each one does, screen by screen, and what each costs.
The competitor
What Booqable is, and who it is for
Booqable is hosted rental software from Salad Days B.V. in the Netherlands.12 It is made for rental shops of every size, from party, AV and camera rental to tools, bikes, trailers and boats, and says more than 8,500 rental businesses use it.1
It runs the back office (orders, inventory, availability, documents and payments) and takes bookings online in three ways: a hosted booking page, a website made with its builder, or products and checkout embedded in a site you already have, such as WordPress, Shopify or WooCommerce.3 Booqable takes no commission on bookings.2
You rent it by the month, billed monthly or yearly. Billed yearly, Start is $29 a month for one user; Grow is $69 a month with 6 users and adds e-signatures, downtime scheduling and the API; Scale is $149 a month with 11 users. The website builder, the mobile app, barcode scanning and deliveries are add-ons on top of the plan.2
What it does
Orders and availability
Real-time availability as items are reserved, picked up and returned, with buffer time, scheduled downtime and a calendar that syncs with Google or Apple Calendar.3Booking page, website or embed
A ready-made booking page, a website builder with 80+ themes as a paid add-on, or products and checkout embedded in WordPress, Shopify, WooCommerce, Squarespace and more.3Quotes, contracts and invoices
Documents made from each order and kept in step with it, with e-signatures from the Grow plan.3Pricing and payments

The alternative
Sales Igniter: rental booking inside a store you own
Sales Igniter is not a hosted service you rent. It is a rental booking engine that installs into an online store, as a WooCommerce plugin for WordPress, a Magento 2 extension, or an app for Shopify.19
On WooCommerce and Magento you buy it once, get the complete source code and run it on your own hosting, with unlimited staff logins, products, customers and orders.19 On Shopify it is an app billed monthly or yearly through Shopify, coming soon.21 On every platform the booking calendar is part of your own store and its own checkout, on your domain and in your theme.

The same job in each system
Choose a job, and the platform for our side. Booqable images are their own marketing images; ours come from stores with sample data.
Availability & orders
Live availability as items are reserved, picked up and returned, with buffer time between rentals and an availability calendar that syncs with Google or Apple Calendar.
A month view of units going out and coming back, a dashboard for today, and an ICS feed for your own calendar.
A rental calendar by product or by order, with units going out and coming back and maintenance blocks.
A month calendar of units going out and coming back, with each day’s bookings and conflicts in a side panel.
The difference: Both check stock for every date of a rental. Booqable keeps it in its hosted back office; Sales Igniter keeps it in your store, so the stock shown is the stock customers can book.
Online booking
A hosted booking page, a website made with their builder (a paid add-on), or products embedded in WordPress, Shopify, WooCommerce, Squarespace and other sites, all using Booqable’s checkout.
The booking form is part of your own product pages, on your domain and in your theme, in every licence.
The rental calendar on your own Magento product pages, with rates, start and end dates.
A rental card on your Shopify product pages, with rates by period, the chosen dates and the total.
The difference: Booqable’s booking page and checkout run on its platform, under your domain if you connect one. Sales Igniter’s booking form and checkout are part of your own store, so the SEO, analytics and design stay yours.
Check-out & check-in
Pickups and returns are recorded by scanning or by choosing items by hand, with partial returns. Barcode scanning and the iOS and Android app are paid add-ons, billed per user.
A Send & Return desk with Due today, Overdue and Next 7 days, serial pickers, barcode returns and pick lists.
A Send Rentals grid with the dates, reserved quantity and quantity to ship for each order line.
A Send & Return desk with a scan box, Due today, Overdue and Next 7 days, and serial pickers.
The difference: Booqable has a native app for pickups, returns, signatures and Tap to Pay. Sales Igniter runs in the browser at the counter, with any keyboard-wedge barcode scanner and no charge per scanning user.
Maintenance
Scheduled downtime (from Grow) blocks items for maintenance, repair or when missing. For a damaged return you keep part of the deposit or add a charge line.
Maintenance & Inspections, in Ultimate: tickets with technicians and photos, service schedules by days, rentals or meter hours, and check-in that sends a unit to repair.
Maintenance tickets with the technician, repair cost and photos, service schedules, and check-in that sends a unit for service, in Pro.
Tickets with parts, labour, vendor work and costs, service schedules by days, rentals or meter hours, and check-in that sends a unit for service.
The difference: Booqable blocks items while they are down. Sales Igniter adds maintenance tickets, service schedules and repair at check-in, with cost and downtime reports.
Reports
Availability, fulfilment and product performance reports on every plan; company, customer and coupon reports and exports from Grow; Bo, an AI assistant, answers questions about the data.
A rentals dashboard, a usage report with utilisation and revenue per unit, and inventory reports with CSV export.
A rentals dashboard with today’s sends and returns, the next 7 days, revenue by week and payments due.
A dashboard with going out, due back, overdue, the next 7 days and revenue, plus usage by product.
The difference: Booqable adds ROI per product and an AI assistant for questions. Sales Igniter has set reports with CSV export, and on WooCommerce and Magento your data sits in your own database for any other tool.
What it costs
What you will have paid, year by year
Booqable list prices billed yearly. Start holds one user, so the totals start at Grow, which holds 6 users; for more, Booqable’s pricing page points to Scale. Add-ons such as the mobile app and barcodes are not in the totals.2 Sales Igniter shows the price with the current promotion and the regular price; renewing updates each year is optional. Prices checked 19 October 2026.
After 5 years, with 6 staff logins
Excludes payment-gateway fees and tax. Sales Igniter on WooCommerce and Magento excludes web hosting, typically $10–$40 a month. Promotions change the first payment only. A Booqable plan is left out when it holds fewer staff logins than you pick. Prices checked 26 October 2026.

Frequently asked questions
Does Sales Igniter charge per user?
Not on WooCommerce or Magento 2: every licence includes unlimited admin accounts, products, customers and orders. Booqable includes one user on Start, 6 on Grow and 11 on Scale; for more users its pricing page points to the next plan.2
Does either one take a commission on bookings?
No. Booqable says it takes no commission on bookings and charges no setup fees.2 Sales Igniter takes no commission either: the only fee on a booking is your payment provider’s.
Can I keep my WordPress or WooCommerce website?
Yes, with either one. Booqable embeds its products, availability and checkout into WordPress, WooCommerce, Shopify, Squarespace and other sites.6 Sales Igniter is a WooCommerce plugin, so rentals use your own WooCommerce cart, checkout, payment gateways and customer accounts.
Is barcode scanning included?
In Sales Igniter, yes: stock can be tracked by serial number, and the Send & Return desk works with any keyboard-wedge barcode scanner. On Booqable, barcode scanning is a paid add-on billed per user, from the Grow plan.2
Can I bill long-term rentals every month?
Booqable’s help centre says subscriptions are not supported: you book the full term and send each invoice by hand.14 Sales Igniter has subscriptions and recurring billing in WooCommerce Pro, a Subscriptions add-on for Magento 2, and ongoing rentals billed each period in the Shopify app, coming soon.
Is there a mobile app?
Booqable has an iOS and Android app for orders, pickups, returns and payments, as a paid add-on per user.2 Sales Igniter has no native app: it runs in the browser on any phone, tablet or computer, and on Shopify, counter work happens in the Shopify POS app.
Is there a Shopify version?
Yes. Rentals & Bookings for Shopify is billed monthly or yearly through Shopify. It is coming soon, and its prices appear on this page at launch.
