Two rental platforms that both take online bookings. They differ on pricing model, how deep each goes into a vertical, how the booking lands in your existing website, and whether your inventory is also listed on a marketplace.
Booqable is a general-purpose rental platform with a website builder, shop plugins, tracked items and a point of sale, priced as a monthly subscription by plan. It suits a rental business that wants one tool to build the site and run the rentals.
Share Marketplace is a rental platform built around the verticals it runs every day: dress and wardrobe hire, trailers, boats and watercraft, event and party rentals, tools and equipment. Per-unit calendars, e-signed agreements and waivers, deposits and card holds, in-person readers, delivery scheduling, embeds for any website builder, a hosted storefront, a rental marketplace listing and QuickBooks sync, priced per transaction so the off-season costs nothing.
If you want to build the whole website inside the rental tool, Booqable is designed for that. If you want the rental system inside the website you already have, vertical depth, and pricing that follows revenue, the rows below are where the differences show.
Share Marketplace: Per transaction, from 1% to 3% by plan, or a flat annual plan. No per-user fee. Booqable: Monthly subscription by plan; check per-user limits and which features sit on which tier.
Share Marketplace: Script or iframe embeds in your existing site (WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify), a hosted storefront, and a marketplace listing. Booqable: A website builder with themes plus plugins for common platforms; check how the embed behaves inside an existing site.
Share Marketplace: Every listing is also published on the Share rental marketplace with the same availability and reviews. Booqable: No marketplace; your own site is the only front door.
Share Marketplace: Serialised units with tags and barcodes, quantities for countable stock, sizes as units for wardrobe. Booqable: Tracked items and quantities; check how a size or a specific unit is represented in the storefront.
Share Marketplace: Templates filled from the booking, e-signed at checkout or by link, walk-up signing at the counter or the dock, signed PDF on the booking. Booqable: E-signature is available; check which plan and whether waivers are a separate document.
Share Marketplace: Refundable deposits or pre-authorization holds on Stripe or Square, captured or released from the booking; automatic late fees. Booqable: Deposits are supported; check whether card holds and automatic late fees are on your plan.
Share Marketplace: Stripe Terminal and Square readers, payment links, invoices and receipts from the booking. Booqable: A POS is offered; check reader support and holds in your country.
Share Marketplace: Delivery scheduling with drivers, trucks, zones and fees; team sheets per run. Booqable: Delivery fees and pickup options; check route and crew scheduling.
Share Marketplace: Buffer per listing, maintenance holds, closed-day billing rules, showcase billing for pulls. Booqable: Check per-product buffer and how closed days are billed.
Share Marketplace: Verified reviews requested after the return, on your store page and an embeddable widget. Booqable: Check whether reviews are collected and displayed.
Share Marketplace: QuickBooks sync per booking with tax and delivery lines. Booqable: Accounting integrations on some plans; check yours.
Share Marketplace: Canada, with Canadian tax, currency and payment providers first. Booqable: Netherlands; check tax and payment options for your country.
