Gingr: our review and how it compares with Groomi

Checked on October 19, 2026

Gingr is first of all dog boarding and daycare software that also covers grooming. It has its own payment service, waivers signed before arrival and a branded app for your clients. Its grooming plan (Spa) costs $109 a month or $100 a month billed yearly. For boarding or daycare, Gingr is the better choice; for a grooming salon or mobile groomer, Groomi is simpler and cheaper.

Groomi is our software. We wrote this review from Gingr’s official pages, accessed on October 19, 2026, without a Gingr trial account. Each fact links to its source at the bottom of the page. Prices and features change: check Gingr’s website before deciding.

What Gingr offers

Plans and prices

The pricing page lists Spa at $109 a month ($100 a month billed yearly), for groomers and trainers; Play at $169 ($142 yearly), for daycares; Stay at $179 a month with Gingr Payments, for boarding; and Enterprise on request. The currency is not stated. We found no free trial: Gingr offers a demo.

Boarding, daycare and grooming

The site presents Gingr for boarding kennels, daycares, grooming salons and training. Higher plans add day and overnight reservations.

PreCheck: forms and waivers

Before arrival, the client fills in a detailed check-in form, signs agreements such as a liability waiver and provides vaccination records. Gingr says PreCheck works for grooming, boarding and training.

Payments and app

Gingr Payments processes payments: cards on file, deposits, packages and tips. The “Pet Parent” app, free on iPhone and Android, is branded for your business; it is for your clients.

Canada

Two-way texting, an add-on, is available in the US and Canada, and phone support covers the US, Canada and the UK. We found no mention of French, Canadian taxes or mobile grooming features.

Gingr or Groomi: which one to choose?

Groomi is the better fit if…

you groom, in a salon or at clients’ homes, without boarding;
you work in French, with taxes on your invoices;
you need mobile grooming tools: travel fees, route map, arrival window;
you want a lower price: CA$49.99 a month, 14-day trial.
