Current RMS alternative
Current RMS is a mature, feature-deep rental system with a strong following in AV and production hire. RentWeave is narrower on purpose. This page is what that narrowness buys you, and where it costs you.

The short answer
Choose RentWeave if you hire out chairs, tables, linen and marquees by the hundred and want them counted that way. Choose Current RMS if your kit is serial-numbered, sub-hired and specified, or spread across several warehouses.
You hire out chairs, tables, linen, marquees and decor rather than serial-numbered technical kit, and you want the system to model that rather than make you adapt to an asset register.
What RentWeave does differently
Stock leaves, comes back in a condition somebody records, and has to be ready before the next booking wants it. Everything here follows from that.
Every item carries its own prep and cleaning days, and availability subtracts them. Linen collected on Sunday with two days of turnaround is not offered for Monday just because the booking technically ended. The number you quote from is the number you can actually load.
Returning stock is the only moment the truth about your inventory changes, so it is a full workflow rather than an edit screen. You record what came back, what came back broken and what did not come back, and the three reconcile against what went out. Count forty-two against forty and it says so, because somebody has counted a pile twice.
Damaged stock is here and out of service. Missing stock is unaccounted for and often turns up in the wrong crate at the next event. Both come off availability, both stay on the record, and neither is a note in a comment field — so “how many do I own” and “how many can I promise in June” stay two answerable questions.
Roles are assembled from individual permissions rather than picked from a list of three. Warehouse staff can move units between pools, fix a storage position and submit a stock count without ever being able to change what the company owns — and cost prices are visible only to the roles you hand that permission to.
In fairness
If you track serial numbers, manage sub-hire chains and technical specifications, need deep multi-warehouse and multi-currency handling, or want an established vendor with a long support history, Current RMS is built for that and we are not. We model interchangeable units in bulk; if your business runs on individually identified assets, that is the wrong shape for you.
Every feature and the lowest plan that carries it. None of it is sold as an add-on.

Serial numbers have nowhere to go: each item type comes across as one bulk count. If your kit genuinely needs individual identity, that is a reason to stay.
RentWeave is one price per company, with staff accounts included. 14 days of every feature first, with no card.

No, and it is a deliberate design decision rather than a gap we intend to close. Forty chairs are forty interchangeable units, and forcing them into forty asset records makes counting harder, not easier. If your stock genuinely needs individual identity — technical kit under warranty, say — an asset-based system is the right tool and we will say so.
No. Plans are per company with a seat cap, so taking on seasonal staff for the summer does not change what you pay. Current RMS publishes per-user pricing, so there each login adds to the monthly bill. Our caps and prices are published in full on the pricing page.
That is the primary case it was designed for. The counting and check-in screens assume one hand, bad light and gloves — large controls, plain states, and no step that needs a keyboard. The office screens assume a desktop, and neither is a cut-down version of the other.
Load one category and one real booking. That is enough to tell whether it fits, and the trial gives you 14 days to find out.
