FlowRent vs Bike Rental Manager
A Better Alternative to Bike Rental Manager
Bike Rental Manager charges overage fees when your revenue grows. FlowRent uses flat monthly pricing, supports any equipment type, and includes digital contracts — no paid add-ons.
Why rental shops are looking beyond BRM
Bike Rental Manager has solid traction with 800+ bike shops. But its revenue-ceiling pricing model means you pay overage fees as your business grows. Add-on modules for repairs, tours, multi-location, and delivery cost extra. And it only works for bikes. FlowRent offers flat monthly pricing, supports any equipment category, includes digital contracts and white-label branding, and speaks 6 languages.

Why shops switch to FlowRent
No revenue ceilings, no bike-only limitations.
No revenue ceilings or overage fees
BRM caps your processed revenue per plan and charges 1.25–2.5% on anything above. FlowRent charges a flat monthly fee — your success doesn't cost you more.
Not just bikes
Scooters, kayaks, sports gear, beach equipment — FlowRent handles any rental category. BRM is built exclusively for bikes, so branching out means switching platforms.
Contracts and white-label included
Auto-generated rental contracts with e-signatures and full white-label branding come standard. BRM offers neither — and charges extra for add-on modules.
