Where Gingr Shines
The advantages that matter most when you're running a real facility with real revenue goals.
PreCheck Revenue Engine
Not just a check-in tool — PreCheck drives $15–$25 incremental revenue per reservation and saves 5 minutes per pet. That's proven ROI, not an AI promise.
Marketing Built In
Targeted segmentation, promotions, and email campaigns included in every plan. RunLoyal requires a Mailchimp integration — Gingr has it native.
Transparent Pricing
$105–$180/mo includes everything. No surprise bills for SMS, dynamic pricing, reviews, or kiosks. RunLoyal's add-ons can double or triple the base price.
Proven at Scale
5,500 locations and 90 employees vs. RunLoyal's sub-150 customer base. When your business depends on reliable software, scale and stability matter.
Pet Parent App
A dedicated native app for booking and updates. While RunLoyal offers a branded app, Gingr's app is backed by years of refinement and 9M+ platform users.
Smooth Onboarding
GingrU in-app learning platform plus hands-on training. RunLoyal users report difficulty getting live — Gingr's onboarding team has helped thousands of facilities launch successfully.
