Flex vs HireHop
Both stand on rental software. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.
Flex connects equipment reservations to warehouse preparation, billing and payments, with mobile apps and listed integrations. Its $510 a month plan and stated business fit make it worth considering for larger rental operations, rather than the smallest teams.

Consider the paid cost and the free plan's annual job, project and storage limits when choosing a plan.
