Bounce house rental

Bounce House Rental Business Software (2026)

Short answer

For a small bounce house rental business, ShowTheReceipts ($15/mo) runs the booking — quote the unit plus delivery, setup, and generator fees, take a deposit that holds the date, and collect the balance on delivery, with card, cash, and Venmo in one ledger.

How we picked

Entry-plan prices as published in 2026, checked against each vendor's own pricing page. Tools were judged on the small operator's real workflow — unit-plus-delivery quoting, deposits that hold a weekend date, and payment on delivery — not on multi-warehouse inventory routing.

The small operator’s real workflow

Inflatable rental is weekend-dense and deposit-driven: hold the date, deliver, set up, collect. Most of the money problems are a deposit that never got taken and a balance collected in cash that never made it into the books.

Skip fleet-scale rental platforms until availability conflicts, not invoices, are what keeps you up.

1. ShowTheReceipts — $15/mo

Quote the unit plus delivery, setup, and generator separately, hold the date with a deposit, and charge the balance at the driveway. Cash lands in the same ledger as cards.

2. Booqable — $29/mo

Storefront and availability — good when double-booking is the real risk.

3. QuoteIQ — $29.99/mo

General field-service quoting with a solid mobile app.

4. Point of Rental — $49/mo

For rental companies well past a few units.

5. InflatableOffice — quote-based

Inflatable-specific routing and maintenance for a fleet operation.

Frequently asked questions

What does a small bounce house business need from software?

Quoting that separates the unit from delivery, setup, and generator fees; a deposit that holds a Saturday; and a way to take payment at the driveway. Route optimization and maintenance logs only pay off once you're running many units a day.

What do I get with ShowTheReceipts for $15/month?

Quoting, invoicing, deposits, on-site card payment, and cash and Venmo in one tax-ready ledger. Automated reminders and recurring invoicing are Pro-plan features at $39/month.

How do I handle a rained-out booking?

Put the weather terms on the quote the customer accepts, so the deposit's treatment on a rain date is agreed before the weekend — see our guide to rain-date and weather policies.
