Booksui vs Booqable · checked 2026-10-26
The Booqable alternative built for event rental companies
Booqable is rental software built around online booking: a site where customers reserve items against live availability. Booksui is a wedding business CRM that speaks rentals: the inquiry, the quote, final counts, delivery and pickup, and the deposit, kept on one order.
Booqable is known for rental software with a hosted booking site: customers reserve items online against live availability, plus inventory tracking, quotes, contracts and invoices. The table below sets Booksui’s own features next to that, in plain terms.
| Topic | Booksui | Booqable |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Wedding and event vendors, each trade with its own pipeline, including rentals. | Rental businesses of many kinds, from party rentals to equipment. |
| Online booking | An inquiry form on your site and a booking page for set services; customers do not reserve individual items against stock. | Its specialty: a hosted booking site with live item availability and checkout. |
| Inventory | Not tracked across orders. | Tracks items in stock, reserved and out on rental, with an availability calendar. |
| Quotes and contracts | Quotes by the item with delivery and setup on their own lines; an event rental agreement with a damage waiver addendum, signed on the client’s phone. | Quotes, contracts and invoices. |
| Getting paid | Invoices with a dated payment schedule and a reminder for each payment. Clients pay the way you accept (bank transfer, Venmo, Zelle, cash) and tell you on the pay page when they have; you confirm it. | Payments at online checkout. |
| Price | Starter is $12/mo with no card (2 photo and video galleries, 1 booking page, 10 active inquiries). Pro $24/mo, Studio $49/mo, Agency $99/mo. 30-day refund on your first paid month. | Set by Booqable and changed by Booqable; their current pricing page is the only honest source, so this page does not quote it. |
Who switches, and why
- Wedding and event rental companies who quote each event by hand and need the client side kept in order.
- Rental companies who work beside planners and florists and want one CRM for the event.
What you keep
- Your clients: the contact list comes across by CSV.
- Your item prices and delivery fees, on the price sheet.
What changes
- Customers send an inquiry and get a quote rather than reserving items online.
- There is no live availability; counts are per order.
How the move happens
- 1Export your client contacts from Booqable as a CSV. If your account has no export, a spreadsheet of names and emails imports the same way.
- 2In Booksui, Import → Upload CSV; check the column matching and confirm. Orders, appointments and invoices stay in Booqable.
- 3Pick rentals during onboarding so the rentals pipeline and paperwork are installed.
- 4Point your website inquiry form at Booksui.
When Booqable is the better choice
If your customers book items online themselves and you need live availability across stock, Booqable is built for that and Booksui is not. Booksui suits a wedding and event rental company that quotes each event, chases final counts, and wants the contract, deposit and delivery details on one order.
Questions
- Can customers book rental items online in Booksui?
- Not item by item against stock. They send an inquiry through your form and you send a quote.
- Can I import from Booqable?
- There is no dedicated import. Client contacts come across by CSV; items and orders do not.
- Is there a trial?
- Yes: 14 days on any plan with a card on file, nothing charged until it ends; limits are on the pricing page.
Booqable’s pricing and feature set are set by Booqable, change over time, and are worth checking on their own site — this page reflects Booksui’s own features accurately and describes Booqable in general, well-known terms rather than a line-by-line audit of their current product.
