Rent or own · 3 rivals, each price dated

Lendra vs renting the software.

Who has which laptop, tool or camera, with overdue flags and a desk that stops double lending.

Competitor prices on this page read between 2026-09-03 and 2026-09-26, each row dated, each one read on the vendor's own page and linked in Sources.

The subscription math.

Yours Lendra $59 once · self-hosted · your data on your server Buy once
Rented EZRentOut Growth $399 USD/month billed annually; Premium $499 USD/month billed annually; Enterprise "contact sales". Additional users are metered at "USD 20/user" on top of the plan [1]

1 month of EZRentOut costs what Lendra costs once.

What EZRentOut does that we don't. EZRentOut runs a rental BUSINESS end to end — bookings and availability, orders, a rental webstore, payment integrations and custom reports.
The fine print

How their pricing grows. EZRentOut prices by PLAN with an annual commitment, then meters additional users on top of it.

“usd 20/user” Read 2026-09-03.

Who should stay with EZRentOut. Stay with EZRentOut if you rent to paying customers and need the webstore, the order flow and the payment integrations. Lendra is the internal checkout board: who has the kit, when it is due back, and what is overdue — bought once, for the equipment you lend rather than the equipment you let.

How we counted. The entry published plan, at the vendor's own annual-commitment price — there is no month-to-month figure on the page, so none is stored. Extra users cost $20 each a month on top. Lendra is $59 once: a log of who has which laptop, tool or camera, with overdue flags, and no monthly floor at all.

Rented Booqable Start $29/mo billed yearly, $35 billed monthly (USD); Grow $69 yearly, $87 monthly; Scale $149 yearly, $187 monthly; Custom plan "Starts at $349 USD/mo" (book a meeting). "Save 20% on all yearly plans" [2]

3 months of Booqable costs what Lendra costs once.

What Booqable does that we don't. Booqable connects to over 8,000 apps through a Zapier integration to automate rental workflows.
The fine print

How their pricing grows. Booqable counts every login as a billable team-member seat against your plan's user limit.

“A team member is anyone who logs into your Booqable account. Each user counts toward your plan’s user limit.” Read 2026-09-26.

Who should stay with Booqable. 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.

How we counted. The nearest priced comp for gear checkout; Cheqroom is the direct internal-checkout comp. Stored at Start billed yearly ($29). Re-read 2026-09-26 in both billing states: prices unchanged and the Custom plan still at 'Starts at $349 USD/mo'. On 2026-09-07 the page showed these numerals in euros to a European reader; on 2026-09-26 it named USD, so the symbol follows the visitor. Add-ons: website +$19/mo yearly (+$24 monthly), mobile POS $9/user/mo ($12), extra locations from $29 ($37).

Work out your own numbers.

The rented figures use the cited plan price above; per-seat plans scale by the seat count from that same cited price. This is arithmetic, not a quote.

Also in this category.

Cheqroom [3] publishes its numbers with NO currency symbol anywhere on the page: Core 184 per admin/month billed annually (Business 275, Enterprise 367), and "Every plan starts at 3 admins", so the smallest purchasable Core is 3 x 184 = 552 per month (every plan includes unlimited users and unlimited items) No monthly cents are stored and no saving is ever computed from this row: the vendor publishes 184, 275 and 367 with no currency symbol anywhere on the page, and calling them dollars would be our inference, not their price. The number that matters for a comparison is not 184 either - it is 3 x 184, because the page states the plan cannot start below three admins. Lendra is bought once for one operator, so there is no admin count to meet.
How their pricing grows. Cheqroom bills per-admin seats annually and sets a floor under the plan: three admin licenses before you count anyone, with regular users unlimited and free on top.
“We bill annually. Every plan starts at 3 admins.”
What Cheqroom does that we don't. Cheqroom does not charge per regular user — every plan includes unlimited non-admin users, and it says so in answer to that exact question.
If you need printed asset labels or generated sign-out agreements, stay with Cheqroom — Lendra reads tags from a keyboard-style scanner at its desk, prints no labels and generates no agreements.

Why owning beats renting here.

One payment

No per-month, per-seat or per-location fees: the license does not expire.

Your data

Your data sits on a server you choose; customer records are not held in a vendor's cloud unless you put them there.

No plan ceilings

Records, users and usage are limited by your hosting, not by a pricing tier.

If the vendor stops

It keeps working if the vendor doesn't: no one can switch your copy off, and keeping it up to date is in your hands.

The fair trade-offs: you host it, you back it up, and updates are yours to apply. The product page lists what Lendra deliberately doesn't do.
