Gingr vs. Kennel Connection

We get it — change fatigue is real. But Gingr was built cloud-first from day one, which means no disruptive server migrations, no local installs, and automatic updates. The transition is handled by our onboarding team, and most facilities are live within days. This is the last switch you'd need to make.

KC's base price is lower, but when you add the cost of Weave or another texting tool ($200–$400/mo), third-party payment processing, and the staff time spent on manual booking entry and reconciliation, most facilities find they're spending significantly more than Gingr's all-inclusive $105–$180/mo. We're happy to run a cost comparison specific to your facility.

Gingr provides support via chat and email with fast response times. Many facilities find that chat-based support is actually quicker for resolving issues. And because Gingr is cloud-native, you'll need support less often in the first place.

Our onboarding team handles the heavy lifting. We import your client records, pet profiles, and booking data. Most facilities are up and running within a few weeks with full training included. Your dedicated migration specialist is with you every step of the way.

Gingr's modern interface is intuitive and well-organized. In fact, many new hires already know Gingr from working at other facilities. Our onboarding team provides hands-on training and an integrated learning platform, GingrU, to walk your team through features right inside the software.

Gingr is cloud-based and requires an internet connection. Most facilities find that reliable internet (including a mobile hotspot as backup) makes this a non-issue. The tradeoff is significant: automatic updates, no local installs, access from anywhere on any device, and a platform that's always current.

Your loyalty speaks volumes. The question is whether KC has kept pace with what your business — and your clients — need today. Do your pet parents expect an app? Do you want online booking without re-entering data? Do you need marketing tools built in? If the answer is yes, it's worth a conversation.
