Share Marketplace vs EZRentOut for equipment rental

Both track serialised equipment and take rentals. They differ on where the customer books, how deposits and agreements are handled, and how they are priced.

The short version

EZRentOut comes from asset management: serialised items, maintenance, depreciation and a rental layer on top, priced as a monthly subscription by plan. It suits an operation that thinks of its fleet as assets first.

Share Marketplace comes from the booking side: per-unit calendars with maintenance holds and buffer, a booking page on your own website, e-signed agreements, deposits and card holds, in-person readers, delivery scheduling and utilization reporting, priced per transaction.

If depreciation schedules and asset audits are the daily work, look hard at EZRentOut. If online bookings, holds and getting the unit signed for before it leaves are the daily work, the rows below are where the difference shows.
