Where the business models diverge
Gingr's model
Gingr charges a monthly subscription based on your tier. On top of that, payments processed through their integrated system carry transaction fees. As your revenue grows, so does the effective cost of using the platform.
CanineOps's model
CanineOps charges a flat monthly subscription regardless of your revenue or booking volume. You connect your own payment processor (Stripe, Square, or others) at your own rates. The software cost is fixed and predictable.
