GigLogix vs Rentman
A Rentman alternative, priced per plan.
Rentman is solid rental and crew planning software. GigLogix covers the same core, jobs, gear, crew, quotes, and invoices, with pricing that doesn’t grow with every user. Here’s the honest side-by-side.

The price math
Per user vs per plan
Rentman charges a base fee plus a fee for each power user. GigLogix charges one price per plan. For a 10-person team, that’s a real difference.
- Rentman: $39 + $25 × 10 power users
- $289/mo
- GigLogix Professional, up to 20 users
- $149/mo
- Difference over a year
- $1,680
Based on Rentman’s published pricing for 10 power users. Their prices can change, and with fewer users the gap is smaller.

Honest picks
Which one fits you
Rentman is the better pick when
- You only need rentals and crew planning
- You bill in more than one currency. A GigLogix workspace uses one, and online card payments are in USD.
- Your crew needs a native phone app. GigLogix runs in the phone’s browser.
- Rentman already works for you. Switching tools costs time; do it for a reason.
GigLogix is the better pick when
- You want quotes, crew, and invoicing in one place, priced per plan
- Per-user fees are adding up as your team grows
- You want clients to approve, sign, and pay online without creating an account
- You want to see quoted labor next to the hours your crew actually worked
Switching

Bring your records over first, then run new jobs in GigLogix.

Start a trial and paste your Rentman API token under data import.
- 2
Import clients, equipment, projects, and invoices. Run it again any time before you switch.

Pick a cutover date. The import is one-way, so nothing flows back to Rentman after that.
FAQ
Rentman alternative questions
Is GigLogix a good Rentman alternative?
It is if you want rentals, crew, quotes, and invoicing in one tool, priced per plan instead of per user. If you only do rentals and Rentman is working, you may not need to switch.
How does GigLogix pricing compare to Rentman?
Using Rentman's published pricing for 10 power users, Rentman comes to $39 plus $25 per power user, or $289 a month. GigLogix Professional is $149 a month for up to 20 users. That's $1,680 a year less. With fewer users the gap gets smaller, so run it for your own team.
Can I import my data from Rentman?
Yes. A workspace admin pastes a Rentman API token in GigLogix and imports clients, equipment, projects, and invoices. You can also import clients, equipment, and venues from CSV or Excel files.
Does GigLogix sync with Rentman both ways?
No. The Rentman import is one-way. Nothing is written back to Rentman, so pick a cutover date and run new jobs in GigLogix from then on.
Does GigLogix have a mobile app?
Not a native one. GigLogix is a web app that works in your phone’s browser, including barcode scanning with the camera, pack list check-off, and crew clock in and out.
