FAQ: Univents vs Rentman
Is Rentman a good Univents alternative?
Rentman is strong when your core business is equipment rental and AV/event production with crew scheduling – it is best-in-class there. For caterers, venues and agencies that need DACH accounting (XRechnung, DATEV, GoBD), function sheets, kitchen planning and an AI assistant, Univents is the better fit.
Does Rentman offer German compliance like XRechnung and DATEV?
On its integrations page Rentman lists accounting tools such as QuickBooks, Xero and Exact, but no DATEV/Lexoffice connection or XRechnung/GoBD features. Univents, by contrast, is explicitly built for DACH compliance.
How much does Rentman cost?
Rentman has public pricing: a platform base fee from EUR 39/month plus per-power-user modules (Equipment and Crew Scheduling from EUR 14, Quoting & Invoicing EUR 9). Basic users are unlimited and free, and there is a 30-day trial without a credit card; Enterprise plans are on request.
