Rivet came out of a real washer-and-dryer rental business. The renter walks one path: details, signature, setup fee, delivery window. It’s priced the same way we think about it, by active rentals with every core feature on every tier. And it costs nothing for your first three rentals.
Where we differ: your website. Rivet lists a website as a planned add-on at $499 setup plus $24.99 a month. With DrumFleet a site on your own domain comes with every plan, from the first rental.
Side by side

Who should pick which
Pick Rivet if…
you’re just starting with a handful of sets, you rent only washers and dryers, and you want renters booking their own delivery window.
Pick DrumFleet if…
you want your website now instead of a paid add-on later, you rent other appliances too, and you want ID on file before the truck rolls.
