If you need integrated rental pricing, quotes, invoices, and online payments for customer-facing bookings, stay with Booqable — Lendra is not an accounting or rental-billing tool and has no pricing, invoices, or payments.
What Lendra deliberately doesn't do is on its product page.
Why owning beats renting Booqable.
No monthly, per-seat or per-location fees. The license is perpetual.
It never lives in Booqable's cloud.
Records and users are limited by your hosting, not by a pricing tier.
Self-hosted software can't be sunset or repriced out from under you.
The fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up and apply updates yourself. See the product page for its limits, and the full Lendra vs renting comparison.

Isn't this just a spreadsheet?
