Comparison
RentalFlow vs FlexCon
FlexCon Rental Booking and RentalFlow both turn a Shopify store into a rental store. FlexCon prices by how many rental orders you take and adds hourly rentals, deposits and rent-to-own. RentalFlow charges one flat price and is built around delivering rentals and picking them up. I build RentalFlow, and I checked every FlexCon detail here against its Shopify App Store listing on November 5, 2026. For the wider field, see the best Shopify rental apps.
Bottom line
Choose FlexCon if you take fewer than 100 rental orders a month, rent by the hour, or need deposits and add-ons at checkout. Choose RentalFlow if you deliver and collect rentals yourself, want a service area check and a daily delivery list, or expect more than 300 orders a month.

What each one costs as you grow
FlexCon's price depends on how many rental orders you take in a month. RentalFlow's does not. Here is the monthly bill at four sizes, using each listing's prices on November 5, 2026.
| Rental orders a month | FlexCon | RentalFlow |
|---|---|---|
| 8 | $0 (Free) | $39 |
| 60 | $19.99 (Growth) | $39 |
| 150 | $59.99 (Professional) | $39 |
| 400 | No plan listed above 300 | $39 |
A small store is cheaper on FlexCon. The two cross at 101 orders, where FlexCon moves to $59.99 and RentalFlow stays at $39.
Where RentalFlow wins
Built for the van. The booking form asks for a drop-off address, a pickup address, a delivery date and a pickup date. The dashboard shows today's deliveries and pickups with unit counts. FlexCon offers local delivery as a delivery method. Its listing does not show a daily delivery list.
Service area check. RentalFlow checks the customer's US ZIP or Canadian postal code against the area you deliver to, before the rental goes in the cart. FlexCon does not list this.
Calendar feed for drivers. RentalFlow sends deliveries and pickups to Google Calendar, Apple Calendar and Outlook through a private feed you can share.
No order cap. $39 a month or $390 a year, whether you take 10 rentals or 1,000. FlexCon's top listed plan stops at 300 a month.
Where FlexCon wins
A free plan. FlexCon is free for up to 10 rental orders a month. If you are testing whether anyone will rent from you, that costs nothing. RentalFlow has a 14-day trial, then $39 a month.
Hourly rentals and buffer time. FlexCon rents by date and time and can hold a gap between bookings for cleaning or checks. RentalFlow books whole days and has no buffer.
Deposits, add-ons and rent-to-own. FlexCon lists security deposit rules, add-ons, duration discounts and custom fields, and rent-to-own on its Professional plan. RentalFlow has none of these. Customers pay the Shopify product price.
Emails, locations and languages. FlexCon sends rental emails for upcoming bookings, return reminders and late alerts. It supports more than one location and works with Shopify POS. Its listing names seven languages. RentalFlow sends no reminders and runs one location.
Reviews. FlexCon's listing shows 5.0 stars from 26 reviews and a launch date of July 28, 2025.
Who should choose which?
Choose RentalFlow if you rent moving boxes, party gear or equipment in one area, you deliver and collect with your own vehicle, and you want the same bill every month however busy you get.
Choose FlexCon if you are just starting and take fewer than 10 orders a month, you rent by the hour, your customers ship or pick up, or you need deposits and add-ons.
