Gingr Pricing Breakdown 2026: What You'll Really Pay

Gingr is a serious platform for full-service pet-care facilities — and its pricing reflects that. If you're a groomer trying to figure out what Gingr will actually cost you, the plan structure can be confusing, because it's organized around service type (grooming, daycare, boarding) rather than business size. This Gingr pricing breakdown lays out every plan for 2026, explains what's included, and works out what a grooming business really pays — plus how it compares to grooming-focused tools that cost less.

How Gingr's pricing is structured

Unlike software that tiers by features or business size, Gingr's plans map to what your business does: appointments (Spa), daycare (Play), or boarding (Stay). You choose the plan that matches your services.

Pricing reflects publicly listed rates at the time of writing and can change — confirm on Gingr's site.

Two things to notice. First, the Stay plan is $179/month with Integrated Payments but $209/month without — so choosing not to use Gingr's payment processing actually raises your software cost. Second, annual billing meaningfully lowers the monthly rate across all plans, so committing for a year saves money if you're confident in the platform.

What grooming businesses actually pay

For a grooming business, the relevant plan is Spa at $109/month (or $100/month billed annually). That's your baseline. All plans include the mobile app, integrated payments, marketing tools, automated notifications, staff management, business analytics, and the customer portal — a genuinely full toolkit.

But here's the key budgeting question: are you only grooming? If so, you're paying $109/month for a platform whose real depth is in boarding and daycare — capabilities you won't use. If you also board or run daycare, you'll be on Play or Stay (or a combination), and the value equation improves because you're using what you pay for.

Onboarding and setup

Gingr offers onboarding and implementation support, and setup or data-import services may vary by business needs. There aren't explicit flat setup fees published, but larger facilities with complex data should ask about implementation scope when they get a quote. Factor any onboarding cost into year-one budgeting.

How Gingr pricing compares for grooming

For a grooming-only shop, the Spa plan's $109/month sits well above grooming-focused tools:

The gap is real: for grooming-only, Teddy starts at less than half Gingr's Spa price and includes unlimited two-way texting on every plan. That's not a knock on Gingr — you're comparing a facility platform to a grooming platform — but if you don't board or do daycare, you're likely overpaying with Gingr. See the Teddy vs Gingr comparison for the feature side.

Is Gingr worth the price?

For boarding and daycare facilities, absolutely — the reservation, kennel, and capacity tools justify the cost, and using multiple plans means you're getting the platform's full value. For grooming-only shops, the math is harder: you're paying facility prices for grooming features. If that's you, weigh a grooming-focused, unlimited-texting alternative before committing to an annual Gingr plan. Our 8 top picks compared puts the options side by side.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Gingr cost per month?

Gingr's grooming-capable Spa plan is $109/month ($100 billed annually). Play (daycare) is $169/month and Stay (boarding) is $179/month with payments ($209 without), plus custom Enterprise pricing. Annual billing lowers the monthly rate.

Why is the Gingr Stay plan more expensive without payments?

Gingr prices the Stay plan at $179/month when you use its Integrated Payments and $209/month without. Choosing an outside processor raises your software cost, so factor payment processing into the total.

Is Gingr expensive for grooming-only businesses?

Relatively, yes. The grooming-relevant Spa plan starts at $109/month, more than double grooming-focused tools like Teddy ($49) or GrooMore ($39/user). Gingr's value is strongest when you also use its boarding and daycare features.

Does Gingr offer annual discounts?

Yes. Annual billing lowers the monthly rate on all plans — for example, Spa drops from $109 to about $100/month. If you're confident in the platform, annual billing saves money.

What's a cheaper alternative to Gingr for grooming?

For grooming-only shops, Teddy ($49/mo with unlimited texting), MoeGo ($49 mobile/$79 salon), and GrooMore ($39/user) all cost less than Gingr's Spa plan. Choose based on whether you need mobile routing, unlimited texting, or rock-bottom price.

Gingr's pricing is fair for full-service facilities that use its boarding and daycare depth — and steep for grooming-only shops that don't. Work out which plan your services actually require, consider annual billing if you commit, and compare against grooming-focused tools first. If you groom-only, Teddy offers unlimited texting at less than half the Spa price — worth a side-by-side look before you sign an annual contract.
