Comparison
Every Goodstay plan is $29–99/mo with every feature included — DoggieDashboard is $0–40/mo.
14 days free · No credit card required
DoggieDashboard is a simple freemium tool — free up to 10 pet profiles, $40/mo for unlimited — and it's well liked for that simplicity. The comparison is about depth: invoicing and card readers, capacity management, reminders, and a customer portal are where a full-time boarding facility outgrows it.
