VERDICT

Should I use Rentman?

Rental business management software for the AV and event industry - rentman.io

Depends. A purpose-built rental-ops platform that fits established AV/event rental companies with real inventory, warehouse, and crew complexity. Tiny operators and non-rental businesses will pay for machinery they never touch.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 15+ public sources; several snippets truncated and vendor pricing details thin, so pricing confidence is medium.

Ratings

  • Value for money
  • Ease of use
  • Feature depth
  • Support qualityNo usable support evidence found
  • Security posture

Pricing

~$39/mo

Lowest tier (third-party reported)

Best for

  • AV and event equipment rental companies
  • Production houses juggling gear across projects
  • Multi-warehouse operations needing scanning/RFID
  • Rental teams also scheduling crews

Not for

  • Tiny rental side-hustles — use a spreadsheet
  • Property letting agents — that's a different Rentman
  • Teams without real equipment inventory to manage
  • Crew-only scheduling buyers — LASSO targets you instead

Gotchas - check before you buy

medium

Costs reportedly scale with headcount/usage; get a written total quote before committing

medium

Some teams needed 6+ weeks just to integrate — budget onboarding time

low

Reported $39/mo entry price; vendor lists multiple tiers — confirm current costs directly

low

Plan-count discrepancies (2 vs 3 tiers across review sites) suggest packaging or regional variance
