Our pricing

Since every rental business is unique, we know that what works for one company won’t be a good fit for another. Our pricing reflects that understanding – we have configurations suitable from startups to multi-national corporations. The one thing that’s the same? Superior rental technology.

What's always included with our software?

Client support in under two minutes

In the time it takes to brush your teeth, your helpful Support Technician will be ready to tackle the toughest questions. Just calling to catch up about their kids? We get those calls, too.

100+ user-driven improvements per year

Shouldn’t software made for you be designed by you? We believe great software is never finished — especially when our clients’ needs are constantly changing.

Annual user conference

Alert hosts the longest running, first of its kind, user conference in the industry. The annual Alert User Group Summit empowers Alert users to impact software development, network with peers, and learn industry best practices.

Add-on features

Whether rental is all you do, or if it’s just one small part of your business, your needs vary based on your market focus and your processes. That’s why we offer a number of features that we know not every operation finds necessary. This allows you the ultimate customized rental software solution.

How do we stack up?

The truth is, you’ve got a lot of rental software companies to choose from and they’re likely all promising the same kinds of features. But you don’t need a software provider—you need a software partner. So we’ve broken down exactly what we offer, along with our competitors.

An honest comparison of apples to apples.
