Pricing, Implementation, & Customer Support Comparisons

As far as pricing goes, all three platforms have offerings at comparable price points. EZRentOut and Quipli are both priced as mid-tier options for equipment rental software. Point of Rental is priced in the upper-tier due to pay-by-user pricing as well as large implementation costs.

An Important Note on Customer Support and Pricing

Among equipment rental SaaS solutions, you’ll find a wide range of support options – and quality. Be sure to diligence this when exploring providers. Some Point of Rental customers, for example, have reported a $75 charge for each support call and over a week in average response time while other options outsource their support centers outside of the United States. Quipli’s average response time during business hours is less than five minutes, and at no additional charge.

Community Support & Growth

Quipli, EZRentOut, and Point of Rental all offer comprehensive documentation for users.

Point of Rental does not offer free live support service, while the other two platforms do.

Among the three, Quipli provides the most when it comes to community support. Along with 24/7 live support, you’ll also have access to regular growth webinars, where you’ll learn new strategies and tactics for growing your rental business.

Customer Segments

The rental industry is a broad space with a wide range of different sub-niches. Along with heavy equipment rental companies, there are also rental businesses specializing in golf carts, outdoor gear like kayaks, and more.

Here’s how different equipment rental SaaS platforms stack up for different types of rental businesses.

Construction & Equipment Rental

When you’re deciding which software platform has the features you need, the size and maturity of your business is a major factor.

While EZRentOut is a solid choice for smaller rental businesses, it doesn’t always have the right set of features to accommodate the more complex needs of larger, multi-location operations.

Other Rental Niches

EZRentOut and Point of Rental are both, more or less, equally adaptable to pretty much any type of equipment rental business – whether you’re renting out dumpsters, medical equipment, bounce houses, kayaks, or anything else.

Quipli, on the other hand, is a bit more specialized. But for recreational rentals, medical rentals, and mobility rentals – as well as, especially, heavy equipment rentals – Quipli is a top choice.

On-Site vs. Cloud-Based Solutions

Quipli offers a highly secure, cloud-based solution that you can connect to at any time and from any location. Point of Rental, on the other hand, relies on an on-premise solution that you must install in a physical datacenter.

These on-site solutions are harder to upgrade (not to mention more expensive) and are inflexible, less secure, and less stable than a solution that can be managed in the cloud 24/7. You’ll also enjoy more uptime with a cloud-based solution like Quipli that has several servers in various state-of-the-art, highly secure facilities across the country.

How Quipli Will Simplify Your Rental Business

By combining an integrated payment system with an effortless online rental experience for your construction rental equipment, Quipli allows you to run an airtight equipment rental platform that is geared for success.
