Switching from Gingr, MoeGo, Time To Pet, Paw Partner, or KennelBooker?
Most boarding and training operators don’t hate their current software — they hate paying a platform percentage on client payments on top of a subscription while still exporting data manually and chasing simple operational answers across tabs. CanineOps is the deliberate alternative.
No credit card. No sales call required. Your data, your processor, your margins.
The honest cost picture
What you actually pay — and what you actually keep.
Most competitor pricing pages quote a low monthly fee and quietly add a percentage on every client payment, every credit card swipe, every deposit. On real boarding volume, that quietly becomes the biggest line item in your SaaS stack.
Typical competitor stack
% of revenue model- Monthly subscription$100 – $400/mo
- Platform fee on every client payment+1.5% – 3%
- Credit card processing markup+0.2% – 0.5%
- Required processor (you cannot bring your own)Yes
- Effective annual cost on $300k revenue~$6k – $12k+ on top of subscription
CanineOps
Flat-fee model- Monthly subscriptionFrom $49/mo
- Platform fee on client payments0%
- Credit card processing markup0%
- Bring your own Stripe / processorYes
- Effective annual cost on $300k revenueSubscription plus your processor’s standard fees.
Competitor figures are illustrative ranges based on publicly disclosed pricing tiers and operator-reported invoices. Your actual costs vary by plan and processor. CanineOps does not take a percentage of your client revenue under any tier or add-on.
The migration objections — answered
What stops most operators from switching, and what we do about it.
“My data is locked in my current platform.”
Self-service migration supports CSV imports for organization profile, locations, staff, clients, pets, bookings, training programs, and invoices. Before import, the workspace surfaces missing required fields, duplicate-match candidates, and link issues. Unmapped columns are preserved for review instead of silently dropped. Payments, waivers/forms, and legacy notes/doc history are handled through assisted migration so legal and billing controls stay intact.
“I’ll lose my historical reporting.”
Imported bookings, invoices, and training programs remain queryable in-platform. If your historical payload includes payment ledgers or signed-waiver evidence, we route that through assisted migration review before cutover.
“My team won’t want to learn another tool.”
Role-based dashboards mean front desk, kennel staff, trainers, and managers each see only what they need. Most operators report staff onboarded in under a single shift.
“What if I get stuck partway through?”
You talk to the founders, not a tier-1 ticket queue. During migration you get a direct line. If we can’t make it work, you walk away with all your imported data — no lock-in, no exit fees.
“What about my client portal links and intake forms?”
Client portal access, intake forms, vaccination uploads, and guided migration support are included in every plan. During rollout, you can keep your current public booking links live while your CanineOps workspace, portal, and client records come online.
“What about my Stripe / payment processor?”
Bring your existing Stripe connection. Keep your existing rates. CanineOps doesn’t insert itself into the payment flow or take a cut.
