Fishbowl charges $4,395/year plus $349/month for 3 users. NetSuite starts at $999/month before per-user fees. Cin7 wants $349-999/month. ThothOS delivers product inventory, lodging rental management, customer-facing rental marketplace, maintenance tracking, customer portals, and full CRM integration for $20/employee/month.

Fishbowl Inventory has product tracking. ThothOS has product tracking, lodging rental inventory, a customer-facing rental marketplace (like Airbnb + Turo built into your inventory system), maintenance management for both products and properties, customer network device tracking, event tickets, service assignments, and customer portals. All integrated with your CRM, billing, and HR systems. For $20/employee/month.

Lodging Rental Inventory: What No Other System Has

ThothOS tracks apartments, houses, condos, motels, and vacation rentals as inventory. Each unit has location details (full address, city, state, zip), unit specifications (bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage), and flexible rental rates (daily, weekly, monthly). Filter by location and category. Track which units are rented to which customers. See rental history.

Property management companies use 3-4 different systems: one for inventory tracking (Fishbowl), one for property management (AppFolio or Buildium), one for maintenance (Upkeep), and one for customer relationships (Salesforce). ThothOS does all of this in one system. Lodging inventory, maintenance tracking, customer portals, billing integration.

No other inventory system has this. Not Fishbowl. Not NetSuite. Not Cin7. Not Zoho. None of them.

Customer-Facing Rental Marketplace: The Feature That Changes Everything

ThothOS has a customer-facing rental marketplace. Customers browse available lodging units and products online, see availability calendars, filter by location and pricing, and complete bookings with contact forms. Like Airbnb for lodging. Like Turo for equipment. Built directly into your inventory management system.

The lodging rental marketplace has search functionality with date range selection (check-in/check-out), location filtering by city, rental type filtering (daily, weekly, monthly, long-term), price range filters, bedroom count filters, and square footage filters. Each listing shows high-quality images, full location details, unit specifications, pricing for different rental periods, and an availability calendar showing the next 3 months with booked dates highlighted. Click any available unit and see the booking form with contact information fields and price breakdown based on selected dates.

The product rental marketplace displays available equipment with stock tracking ('5 of 8 available'). Multiple pricing types: hourly rate, 4-hour rate, 8-hour rate, half-day rate, daily rate, weekly rate, monthly rate. Filter by manufacturer, model, price range (by pricing type), and availability. Each product shows specifications, pricing for all rental periods, available stock count, and a booking form that auto-selects available stock items. Price calculation adjusts based on rental duration and selected pricing type.

This isn't just inventory tracking. This is a complete e-commerce rental platform. You track your inventory, manage maintenance, assign items to customers, AND you have a customer-facing marketplace where new customers can discover and rent your inventory online.

Fishbowl doesn't have this. NetSuite doesn't have this. inFlow, Cin7, Zoho Inventory, QuickBooks Commerce, Asset Panda—none of them have a customer-facing rental marketplace. They track inventory. ThothOS tracks inventory AND turns it into a revenue-generating online marketplace.

Property management companies using Buildium or AppFolio have separate systems for inventory tracking and online listings. Equipment rental companies using Fishbowl have separate e-commerce websites. ThothOS has both in one system. Your inventory automatically feeds the marketplace. Bookings automatically update inventory availability. Maintenance schedules automatically block marketplace availability. Everything synchronized.

The Real Difference

Fishbowl gives you inventory tracking. You need separate systems for customer relationships, maintenance scheduling, billing, employee management, and e-commerce listings.

NetSuite gives you inventory plus other modules, but charges separately for each module, requires consultant implementation, costs $30,000+/year for a small team, and still doesn't have a customer-facing rental marketplace.

Zoho gives you inventory, but if you want CRM, HR, payroll, and project management, you buy separate Zoho products that don't integrate well. Each product has its own pricing and user limits. And you still need a separate e-commerce platform for customer-facing listings.

ThothOS gives you product inventory, lodging rental inventory (unique!), customer-facing rental marketplace (like Airbnb + Turo for your inventory), maintenance management for both products and properties, customer portals, service catalog, manufacturer/model/vendor management, and it's all integrated with your CRM, billing, HR, payroll, project management, and knowledge base. Everything in one system. $20/employee/month.

No other inventory system tracks lodging rentals. No other system has a customer-facing rental marketplace with availability calendars and online booking. No other system combines product maintenance and property maintenance. No other system has customer portals showing rented products, lodging, services, and network devices all in one place. No other system turns your inventory into a revenue-generating online marketplace.

Why Pay More for Less?

Fishbowl: $8,583/year for 3 users with basic inventory. ThothOS: $2,400/year for 10 users with inventory, maintenance, lodging, CRM, HR, payroll, billing, and everything else.

NetSuite: $30,000+/year for 10 users with modules and consultants. ThothOS: $2,400/year with everything included.

The choice is straightforward. Pay enterprise prices for siloed inventory software. Or get complete business operations with inventory, lodging management, maintenance tracking, customer portals, and full integration for $20/employee/month.
