Monthly cost comparison

PetExec: ~$150-400/mo — the established pet boarding and daycare leader

PetExec is in virtually every pet boarding vertical we curate at roughly $150-400/mo. It's the right choice when you operate a high-volume boarding facility or multi-location pet resort: the platform handles online reservations, automated confirmations, vaccination tracking, feeding schedules, and medication administration with depth that competitors don't match. The owner portal is genuinely useful: real-time photo updates, activity reports, and pickup notifications that keep pet parents connected. The trade-off is modern UX: PetExec's interface is functional but dated compared to newer alternatives. PetExec is the wrong choice when sleek design and mobile-first workflows are priorities.

Gingr: ~$100-300/mo — the modern, cloud-native pet services platform

Gingr is priced at roughly $100-300/mo and is the right choice when you want a modern, intuitive platform for boarding, daycare, and grooming. Gingr's differentiator is UX: the interface is genuinely modern, the mobile app lets staff manage check-ins and updates from anywhere, and the online booking is genuinely beautiful. The photo and video updates are also genuinely useful: automated daily report cards with photos that parents can share on social media, creating organic marketing. The trade-off is depth: Gingr's advanced boarding features like multi-animal family management and complex feeding protocols are lighter than PetExec's. Gingr is the wrong choice for large facilities with complex operational needs.

For teams under 50, paying $150-400/mo for PetExec means spending significant money on features you may never use — evaluate whether the complexity is actually earning its keep.

ProPet: ~$80-250/mo — the all-in-one pet business suite

ProPet is priced at roughly $80-250/mo and is the right choice when you want one platform that covers boarding, daycare, grooming, training, and retail. ProPet's differentiator is breadth: instead of connecting separate tools for each service, everything lives in one system, reducing data entry and sync errors. The retail integration is also genuinely useful: point-of-sale, inventory management, and customer loyalty programs that capture revenue from every customer touchpoint. The trade-off is boarding depth: ProPet's boarding-specific features like run assignments and playgroup management are lighter than PetExec's or Gingr's. ProPet is the wrong choice when boarding is your primary revenue source and you need maximum operational depth.

The right platform depends on your actual team size and workflow complexity — match the tool to your headcount, not to marketing promises.
