Gingr: Features, Pricing & Login (2026)

Updated

In short

As of 2026, Gingr is built for boarding and daycare facilities and typically adds setup and onboarding fees on top of a higher monthly plan. GroomBoard is grooming focused software at a flat $19/month (Solo) or $39/month (Salon) with SMS reminders included, no setup fee, and a 7 day free trial.

Below: what Gingr covers, what it costs once setup fees are counted, where to sign in to the Gingr app, and an honest comparison with GroomBoard, our own $19/mo alternative.

Gingr Login

Gingr accounts are managed entirely by Gingr. Sign in from gingrapp.com using the login link in their site header. If your facility gave you a direct link when your account was set up, use that one, and check the welcome email if you no longer have it saved. GroomBoard is a different company and a competing product. We have no access to Gingr accounts and cannot reset a password or recover a username for you. For that, contact Gingr support directly.

If you are signing in to pull your client list because you are weighing up a switch: Gingr exports to CSV, GroomBoard imports that CSV during the 7 day free trial, and migration help is free.

Pay 5x Less

Gingr charges $109 to $179/mo. GroomBoard starts at $9/mo, with the full featured Solo plan at $19/mo.

How much does Gingr cost compared with GroomBoard?

Gingr costs $109 (Spa), $169 (Play), or $179 (Stay) a month per location, $209 for Stay without Gingr's integrated payments, plus a one time setup fee, with texting sold as an add on, as published in August 2026. GroomBoard is $9 to $39 a month per business with 100 to 600 texts included and no setup fee. A solo groomer pays about $109 plus setup on Gingr and $19 on GroomBoard.

Which pet businesses choose Gingr, and which choose GroomBoard?

Boarding kennels, daycares, and multi location facilities that live in a kennel calendar choose Gingr, and it is the right choice for them. Grooming only businesses choose GroomBoard: solo groomers, mobile groomers, and salons of two to five groomers who would otherwise pay Gingr for boarding, facility, and onboarding features they never open.

How do I move my clients from Gingr to GroomBoard?

Export owners and animals from Gingr as CSV and import the file during the GroomBoard trial; the importer recognises Gingr's export. Rebuild services and hours, test the booking page, and update your booking link on Google and Instagram. Boarding history has nowhere to go in GroomBoard, so keep a Gingr export of it before you cancel.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Gingr?▼
Gingr is pet care facility software built primarily for boarding and daycare businesses, covering reservations, kennel assignments, occupancy limits, feeding and medication schedules, client records, online booking and payments. Grooming is one service among many rather than the focus. It starts at $109/mo for the Spa plan and runs $179/mo or more for Professional, with setup fees and SMS add ons on top.
How do I log in to Gingr?▼
Gingr accounts are managed entirely by Gingr. Sign in from gingrapp.com using the login link in their site header, or use the direct link your facility gave you when your account was set up. GroomBoard is a separate product and cannot access or reset a Gingr account. If you are signing in to export your client list because you are shopping for something grooming first, GroomBoard imports a Gingr CSV during your free trial and migration help is free.
How much does Gingr actually cost?▼
Gingr starts at $109/mo for the Spa plan and runs $179/mo or more for the Professional tier, with setup fees and SMS add ons on top. GroomBoard plans start at $9/mo, and the full Solo plan, meaning booking, SMS, payments and client management, is $19/mo.
Why do grooming only businesses look at alternatives to Gingr?▼
Mostly fit and price. Gingr is built around boarding and daycare, so a salon that never boards a dog still pays for kennel assignment, occupancy and feeding schedule features it will never open, at $109/mo or more before setup fees. GroomBoard covers the grooming workflow on its own, at $19/mo flat with SMS reminders included.
Can I migrate my data from Gingr to GroomBoard?▼
Yes. Export your client list from Gingr and we'll help you get set up. Most groomers complete the switch in under 30 minutes. Your clients won't notice any disruption, just share your new booking link.
Does GroomBoard have all the features I need?▼
GroomBoard covers the core workflows every groomer needs: online booking, client and pet profiles with grooming history, SMS reminders, Stripe payments, and a modern dashboard. We're adding new features every week based on groomer feedback.
Is there a contract or setup fee?▼
No contracts, no setup fees, no hidden costs. Start with a 7 day free trial, then pay month to month. Cancel anytime with one click from your dashboard.
Is Gingr or PetExec better for grooming and boarding?▼
Both are facility platforms. Gingr publishes pricing ($109 to $179 per month) and is strongest at boarding: kennel assignments, occupancy limits, and feeding and medication schedules. PetExec also targets boarding and daycare facilities but does not publish pricing, so comparing costs means a sales call. A grooming only business pays either one for kennel features it never uses. For grooming without boarding, GroomBoard covers booking, SMS reminders, and payments at $19 per month.
