Who each product is for
LeashTime has served pet sitting and dog walking companies for years, and it shows in the depth: GPS-tracked visits, key management, a client portal, QuickBooks integration, and sitter apps on iOS and Android. Established companies that run on those tools have good reasons to stay.
PawSitter is the LeashTime alternative for independent sitters and small teams who want to see the price before they sign up. You get a real free plan (5 clients, 5 pets, 5 visits), Solo at $10/month, and Business at $28/month with 5 seats, a public booking page, owner photo updates, invoicing, and card payments with a 0% platform fee. Need more seats? 10 are $50 and 20 are $100, still flat.
