Renttix is best for
Renttix is for equipment-rental businesses of every size — a one-person shop with a vanful of tools, right up to a multinational fleet. It follows every asset from quote to return, and the way you work on day one is the way it works once you've grown.
Rent Manager is best for
Rent Manager is a property-management platform: it handles the letting of real estate — tenants, leases and rent — which is a different job from hiring out equipment.

Overview
The question isn't how big you are — it's what you rent. Rent Manager manages property: tenants, leases and rent on real estate. Renttix manages the hire of movable kit — plant, tools, event and AV gear.
If your day is quotes, dispatch, off-hire and returns, Renttix is built around it, whether you're one person or a hundred. It tracks each asset, runs your workshop, plans your deliveries, and an AI copilot handles the routine chasing. It bills in any currency and posts to your own ledger, and the same system grows with you, so there's no re-platforming later.
For an equipment or event-rental business of any size, Renttix fits the work you actually do — from your first hire to your thousandth.

Frequently asked questions
Is Renttix only for large rental companies?
No. Renttix starts with a one-person business and a single van and scales up to a multi-yard operation on the same system. It's simple to get going on day one, and the depth is there waiting when you grow — so you're never forced to switch tools later.
Why choose Renttix over Rent Manager?
Renttix is built for hiring out equipment — assets, quotes, dispatch, off-hire, returns and workshop repairs — while Rent Manager is built for letting property. Renttix does the job for a small shop and grows with you to a full fleet on the same system, so there's no migration the day you get bigger.
Can I switch to Renttix from Rent Manager?
Yes. Renttix offers a guided import with white-glove migration support, so your customers, assets and history come across cleanly and you're up and running without starting from scratch.
Is Rent Manager a good alternative to Renttix?
Only if your business is letting property rather than hiring out equipment. Rent Manager tracks tenants, leases and rent; Renttix tracks serialised and bulk assets through the quote-to-return cycle, with a workshop, deliveries and global billing. For an equipment-rental operator of any size, Renttix is the stronger call because it's built around the work you actually do and grows with you instead of asking you to switch tools later.
What is the difference between Rent Manager and Renttix?
Rent Manager handles the letting of real estate — units, leases, tenants and rent. Renttix handles the hire of movable equipment — assets, orders, dispatch, off-hire, returns and workshop repairs. Renttix also syncs to your own accounting ledger (Xero, Sage, QuickBooks and more) and adds a global tax engine and international payments.
