Renttix is best for
Renttix is for anyone who rents things out — a one-person shop with a shelf of kit, or a company with sites in five countries. It runs the whole job, from the first online booking to the invoice, and it keeps fitting as you grow.
Rentle is best for
Rentle is known for consumer and retail rental — an online store where an item can be rented, resold or subscribed to.

Where Renttix offers more
- Sell online from day one, whatever your size — a hosted storefront and booking widget, plus native Shopify and WooCommerce, so you rent where your customers already shop.
- Start as a one-person shop and stay on the same tool when you add a second location, a workshop or a van. Nothing to rip out, no data to migrate — the depth is there the day you need it.
- When kit comes back broken, Renttix runs a full workshop: parts and van stock, work orders, engineer planning, and the statutory inspections that keep you legal.
- When deliveries outgrow a courier, Renttix Field hands your driver the day's stops and a signature at the door — iOS and Android, working offline.
- Take payment in any market with eight gateways and an Avalara or TaxJar tax engine that sorts the tax for you.
- Invoices post to Xero or QuickBooks on their own — no re-keying at month-end, whether you send five a month or five hundred.
Rentle — core strengths
- Unified rent + resell + subscribe model — a single product listing can be rented, sold second-hand or offered on subscription, which is a genuine differentiator for circular/recommerce retail
- Polished, out-of-the-box customer-facing storefront: hosted website builder with custom domain, embeddable widgets, WordPress and Wix plugins, plus an in-store POS with real-time cross-channel inventory sync
- Item-level (serialised) inventory tracking with per-unit condition, location, rental history, cost and profitability, including multi-location stock and cross-location fulfilment
- Fast, low-friction onboarding and a free entry tier — merchants can self-serve, take Stripe payments, collect security deposits and go live quickly
- Modern REST Admin API with scoped API keys and webhooks, plus Zapier and Google Analytics, making it approachable for custom integrations
- Flexible rental pricing (hourly/daily/weekly/monthly, seasonal, customer-segment, dynamic and kit bundles) with digital contracts, e-signature and automated damage waivers
Overview
Both tools rent things out. Rentle — now TWICE Commerce — is known for the retail store side of rental. Renttix is built around the hire itself: serialised kit, live availability, and a workflow that runs from booking to paid invoice, at any size.
You can start as simply as anyone. List your kit, take bookings online, and be running in a day — no depot, no big setup, nothing that assumes you are already large.
What makes Renttix the choice is that it keeps fitting. Add a second location, a workshop, a van or a whole new country and you are on the same tool with the same data — no second system, no migration. That holds whatever size you are today, or grow into.

Frequently asked questions
Is Renttix only for large rental companies?
No. Renttix works for a one-person operation just as well as a national one — list your kit, take bookings online, and get running fast. The heavier features, like a workshop, the field app, extra locations and extra payment gateways, are there when you need them, not things you set up on day one. You start simple and grow into the depth without moving to a different tool.
Why choose Renttix over Rentle?
Renttix does the online-store basics from day one — a storefront, a booking widget, deposits and digital contracts — and then keeps up as the job gets bigger. Add a workshop, deliveries, more locations or a new country and you are still on the same tool, with the same data. No second system, no migration when you grow. That is the honest case: the same simple start, with far more room to grow into.
Can I switch to Renttix from Rentle?
Yes. We import your catalogue, customers and rental history for you — a guided, white-glove migration so you are up and running on Renttix without re-keying anything. You keep trading while the move happens.
Is Rentle a good alternative to Renttix?
It can work if all you will ever do is run a retail store that also rents. But if you would rather not switch tools the day you add a workshop, a delivery run or another location, Renttix is the stronger call — it does the same online-store start and then grows with the business instead of capping out. Same simple beginning, no migration later.
