Rentman or Sales Igniter: equipment and crew planning software, or a rental store you own
Rentman is hosted software for AV, event and rental companies, billed each month per power user plus a platform fee. 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 Rentman is, and who it is for
Rentman is hosted software from Rentman B.V. in Utrecht, the Netherlands.3 It began in 2014, when the owner of an AV rental company built the planning tool he could not find, and Rentman says over 250,000 AV and event professionals now use it.4 It is sold as separate products for inventory, crew scheduling and project tasks, and as a rental bundle of inventory with quoting and invoicing for equipment, tent and party rental companies.13
It runs the work around each project: equipment planned over the dates it is away from the warehouse17, quotes the client reviews and signs online, and invoices paid through Stripe or Mollie.6 Scanning, check-in and check-out come with the paid Equipment Tracking add-on, and repairs, subrentals and several stock locations with the Pro plan.1 It has no shop of its own: a partner’s WooCommerce plug-in sends rental requests from your WordPress site.39
Its rental bundle has two priced plans: Standard at $63 a month and Pro at $69 a month, each for one power user including the platform fee, with each further power user billed every month and basic users free.1 Enterprise is priced by quote. Terms run monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or yearly, and cancelling or downgrading brings no refund.2
What it does
Equipment planning
An equipment timeline shows what is free for each item and warehouse, and a shortage warning appears as soon as a project needs more than you have, with alternatives and subrentals to fill the gap.15Quotes, contracts and invoices
Quotes are published online for the client to review and sign, invoices can be split over up to three moments and paid through Stripe or Mollie, and invoices export to QuickBooks Online, Xero or Exact Online.6Warehouse scanning
With the Equipment Tracking add-on, crew book items out and back in by scanning QR codes or barcodes in the mobile app or on Zebra scanners, and report damage or losses on the spot.29Repairs and inspections
On Pro, repairs are logged with a status, reporter and assignee and can be charged to the client, and periodic inspections are planned for each serial number.10Crew and transport
Crew Scheduling, a separate Rentman product, plans crew and vehicles on each project, sends job invitations and records hours worked in the app.13API and integrations
A public API with webhooks, Zapier at no extra cost, calendar feeds, and a partner plug-in that shows your equipment on a WooCommerce site for rental requests.48What it looks like

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.55
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.55 On Shopify it is an app billed monthly or yearly through Shopify, coming soon.57 On every platform the booking calendar is part of your own store and its own checkout, on your domain and in your theme.

Choose a job, and the platform for our side. Rentman images are their own marketing images; ours come from stores with sample data.
Availability & bookings
Each project has a planning period, when the gear is away from the warehouse, and a usage period, which the client pays for. Rentman counts every item over the planning period, shows it on the equipment timeline and warns about shortages, which you can cover with alternatives or, on Pro, with gear from another warehouse or a subrental.
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 booking. Rentman plans it around projects your team builds and quotes; Sales Igniter checks it in your own store, so customers see what is free for their dates and book it themselves.
Online booking
Rentman has no shop of its own. A WooCommerce plug-in from AppSys, a Rentman partner, shows chosen equipment on your WordPress site with the price and availability for a rental period, and sends rental requests into Rentman; Rentman’s support team does not set it up. Requests can also come in through the API.
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: Rentman’s webshop link collects rental requests that your team turns into projects and quotes. Sales Igniter’s booking calendar and checkout are part of your own store, so customers can see availability, book and pay in one visit.
Check-out & check-in
The Warehouse module, part of the paid Equipment Tracking add-on, books each item from to pack and prepped to on location and returned, by scanning QR codes or barcodes in the app or on Zebra scanners. Gear that is not back by the end of the planning period shows as delayed and can be given a new return date.
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: Both record what goes out and what comes back. Rentman books it project by project from each packing list, in an add-on billed per power user; Sales Igniter runs in the browser at the counter, with any keyboard-wedge barcode scanner and no charge per scanning user.
Maintenance
On Pro, the Maintenance module logs repairs with a status, reporter and assignee, can keep a broken item out of stock and charge the repair to the client, and plans periodic inspections for each serial number from its purchase date. Standard has no repair management.
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: Both keep broken items from being booked. Rentman’s repairs and inspections come with Pro; Sales Igniter adds maintenance tickets, service schedules and repair at check-in, with cost and downtime reports.
Reports
Statistics views of projects, equipment, subrentals, invoices, crew and vehicles, with charts and export to Excel or CSV, and a dashboard of upcoming work, revenue and open invoices. Statistics are recalculated from your current data rather than kept as snapshots, so changing a past project changes past figures.
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: Both report revenue and use per item. Rentman also reports on crew, vehicles and suppliers; Sales Igniter reports per rental order, 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
Rentman’s list prices, billed monthly: each plan’s price here is the platform fee plus one power user, and every further user is counted as a power user. Basic users, such as warehouse staff, technicians and freelancers, are free, so a team with crew who only scan or view can pay less than shown.2 Add-ons are not in the totals, among them Equipment Tracking, which carries scanning, check-in and check-out, and neither is the 8% first-year discount for paying yearly.1 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. Prices checked 19 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. Rentman charges each month for every power user, the people who plan, quote and invoice, on top of a platform fee; basic users such as warehouse staff, technicians and freelancers are free.2
Can customers book online?
Rentman has no store of its own: a partner’s WooCommerce plug-in shows your equipment on a WordPress site and sends rental requests into Rentman, which your team turns into projects and quotes.39 With Sales Igniter, customers pick their dates, see what is free and pay at checkout in your own store, and the Ultimate edition on WooCommerce and Magento 2 adds quote requests as well.
Is barcode scanning included?
Not in the Standard or Pro price: check-in, check-out and QR or barcode scanning come with the Equipment Tracking add-on, billed per power user each month, and work in the Rentman app on phones and Zebra scanners.1 Sales Igniter records sends and returns in your store’s admin, and its Send & Return desk on WooCommerce and Shopify takes any keyboard-wedge barcode scanner, with no charge per scanning user.
Does either take a commission?
No. Rentman’s Stripe and Mollie connection is included in its licence, and those providers charge their own fee on each payment.47 Sales Igniter takes no commission or booking fee and works with the payment gateways your store supports, so the only fee on a booking is your payment provider’s.
Where is the data kept?
Rentman keeps each customer’s data in its own encrypted database on Amazon Web Services, in two European data centres.5 After the agreement ends it keeps the data inactive for 90 days, returns it on request, then deletes it.3 With Sales Igniter on WooCommerce or Magento 2 your data stays in your own store’s database, on hosting you choose.
Does it handle repairs and inspections?
On Rentman they come with the Pro plan: repairs with a status and assignee that can be charged to the client, and periodic inspections for each serial number.10 Sales Igniter adds maintenance tickets, service schedules and repair at check-in, in the Ultimate edition on WooCommerce and in Pro on Magento 2.
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.
