YardCardOS vs Reservety: price, features and fit
Updated November 2, 2026
In short
- We make YardCardOS, so we are not neutral. Everything here about Reservety comes from its own public pages, read on November 2, 2026 and linked at the bottom.
- Reservety has two plans, Starter at $59 a month and Professional at $99, with a 14-day free trial and a 30-day money-back guarantee. YardCardOS starts at $49 a month, flat, and the exact price depends on the size of the business.[1-2][5]
- Both say they take no cut of your bookings. Reservety says zero commission on any plan, and YardCardOS never takes a cut.[1-2]
- Reservety's yard greeting page says its letter count against the racks is in beta testing, and that today every message is on its order for the crew to count. YardCardOS checks every letter, number and piece of flair before it takes a booking.[1][3]
- Reservety lists a driver app and dispatch board on its $99 plan, a Hibernation Plan at $15 a month for the off season, and e-signatures on both plans. YardCardOS puts the crew list on the phone for every setup and takedown.[1-2]

What does each cost?
Reservety lists Starter at $59 a month and Professional at $99, each with a 14-day free trial and no credit card required. Starter includes a hosted rental website, unlimited inventory items, a booking calendar, online payments, delivery zones and distance rates, discount coupons and two staff accounts. Professional adds crew scheduling, a driver app and dispatch board, QuickBooks sync and 15 staff accounts.[2]
It also lists a 30-day money-back guarantee, a Hibernation Plan at $15 a month that keeps your site online with checkout switched off, and says it takes no commission on any plan. Its FAQ says that to reserve a spot in its setup queue it takes your first month's payment up front as a deposit.[2][5]
YardCardOS starts at $49 a month, flat, and never takes a cut of your bookings. What you pay depends on the size of the business, so we send the exact price once we know what you run. Card payments go through your own Stripe account at Stripe's rate.[1]
Where does Reservety list more?
In several places, and a business that needs them should look closely at Reservety.
- A free trial with no credit card, and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
- A Hibernation Plan at $15 a month for the off season, so the site stays online while bookings are off.
- Digital e-signatures on both plans, and a choice of Stripe, PayPal or Square for payments.
- On the $99 plan, a driver app with live routing and a dispatch board, crew scheduling and native QuickBooks sync.
- Concierge setup on Starter, in which it says it imports your data, and a website built in 3 to 5 days.
- A rental platform that serves other kinds of business too, if you rent more than yard cards.[2][4]
What does YardCardOS do that you should compare?
These are the places we would ask Reservety to show you.
- Every letter, number and piece of flair is checked when the customer books, so a name you cannot spell that night is not sold. Reservety's page says its letter count is in beta testing.
- A setup and its takedown as one booking on a crew list in route order, on your phone, included.
- A lower starting price, $49 a month against $59, and a free yourname.yardcardos.app address for every business.
- An optional photo of the finished setup, emailed to the customer when the setup is marked done.
- Built for letters, sets and setups rather than for rental in general, so the sets, flair and counted pieces are the whole product.[1-3]
Who should pick which?
- Pick Reservety if you want to try it free without a card, want a refund window, want an off-season plan, or run other rentals besides yard cards.
- Pick YardCardOS if yard cards are the business, you want every letter checked at booking today rather than counted by the crew, and you want setups and takedowns on a crew list that is included.
- If you are unsure, ask each to run the same order, a name for Saturday with a repeated letter, and see which one tells you the answer before the customer pays.
What should you ask Reservety before you pay?
These are not settled on the pages we read, so ask for a demonstration rather than a yes.
- When does the letter count come out of beta, and what does my crew count by hand until then?
- A customer types HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMMA for Saturday. What does the software check before it takes the booking?
- Is the driver app and dispatch board only on the $99 plan, and what does a crew get on the $59 plan?
- If the trial needs no card, does a month's payment still come up front to hold a setup slot?
- If I leave, can I take my customer list and order history with me?[2]

Common questions
Does Reservety work for yard cards?
Yes. Reservety has a page for yard greeting rental. Its page says the letter count against the racks is in beta testing, so ask it to show you how a name with a repeated letter is handled today.
Which costs less, YardCardOS or Reservety?
