A few years ago the answer was “Stripe and a spreadsheet”. Now there are several tools built for people who rent machines into homes. They’re all small and moving fast, and each does the basics. The right one depends on your size and what you rent.
1. DrumFleet
- Price
- Flat monthly by active rentals, from $29/mo (Launch); $199/mo (Pro) at 400
- What it does well
- A rental website on your own domain on every plan. Every appliance type, not only washers and dryers. E-signed agreements with ID on file before delivery, and install photos with the renter’s sign-off at delivery. Autopay into your own Stripe account with reminders, late fees and card retries on day 0, 3 and 7. Payback per machine. Every feature on every plan.
- Where it’s thinner
- No hookup photos sent ahead of delivery, and renters don’t book their own delivery window. No free entry: there’s a 14-day trial, then a paid plan.
- Pick it if
- You want to look like a real business at your own web address, or you rent more than washers and dryers.
2. RentSet
- Price
- $29 / $99 / $299 a month for up to 50 / 250 / 750 active rentals
- What it does well
- A strong install workflow: hookup photos, ZIP-code check and a 19-point checklist. Also QR labels, payback per asset, late fees and autopay.
- Where it’s thinner
- A branded rental page rather than a website on your own domain (not listed on their site); CSV export and custom branding start on Growth.
- Pick it if
- Installs are where your days go wrong, and you rent washers and dryers.
3. Rivet
- Price
- $0 for 0–3 active rentals, then $15 to $199 a month up to 250; volume review above
- What it does well
- One guided path for the renter: details, signature, setup fee, delivery window. Core features on every tier. Came out of a real rental business.
- Where it’s thinner
- A website is a planned add-on at $499 setup plus $24.99 a month.
- Pick it if
- You’re starting with a handful of sets and want renters booking their own delivery.
4. LaundryLord
- Price
- $0 for 1–10 renters, then $29 to $999 a month by renter count (about $1 per renter)
- What it does well
- Tracks Venmo, Zelle and Cash App next to Stripe, imports your Stripe customers, renter portal, pre-filled reminder texts and emails.
- Where it’s thinner
- Your links live on laundrylord.club; a website on your own domain isn’t listed on their site. Their site lists washers and dryers only.
- Pick it if
- Many of your renters pay outside Stripe, or you have 10 renters or fewer.
5. Launderworks
- Price
- No monthly fee: 2.9% of rent collected, plus a $2.50 renter fee on each monthly invoice
- What it does well
- Your own website at your own web address, agreement signed with payment, card or bank into your own Stripe, failed-payment notices on day 0, 3 and 7.
- Where it’s thinner
- The cost grows with your rent; one owner-only sign-in; not available in California per their FAQ.
- Pick it if
- You’re small and want zero fixed cost.
What about general rental software?
Tools like Booqable and EZRentOut are mature, but they’re built around bookings with an end date, not renters on autopay for years. We wrote up Booqable and EZRentOut separately. And if you’re under about 20 rentals, read the spreadsheet comparison.
