How MyPetSitter compares

We checked every UK and global pet-care platform we could find — and audited ourselves against them across pricing, payments, branding and product.

"Your customers pay your price — no booking or platform fees.
And for £19/month, you can put an app with your name and logo right on their phone."

The difference, in one sentence.

Where we win

We checked every alternative we could find. Here's the short list of things we do better — or do that nobody else does at all.

Money & payments

Cheapest UK SaaS in this band— Starter at £18/mo with a real feature set

Customers pay the exact invoice— no surcharge added at checkout — ever

1% application fee— 3–7× cheaper than the industry norm

No bank-transfer fee for Stripe Connect users— and a generous grace period if you're not

Tipping that auto-pays staff— month-level tips collected on the same charge

Settlement invoices for clean exits— when a client leaves, the books close cleanly

Account credit + debit ledger— every penny accounted for, both sides

Card autopay (weekly or monthly)— fully managed; clients never have to remember

Custom fee rates per business— partner deals + free-forever tiers supported

Transparent pricing in the dashboard— always visible, 30-day notice on any change

Product & experience

Your own branded app— tenant subdomain + custom domain — £19/mo

Installs in 30 seconds— PWA — no App Store reviews, instant updates

DEFRA compliance built-in— inspection-ready records, UK-specific moat

PupBook + Pupdates— social wall + daily care logs with photos no competitor has

Group chats with admin silencing— genuine per-message privacy primitive

Push notifications via PWA— instant — no SMS bills to absorb

AI Logo Studio + Website Builder— design + publish without a designer

Modern stack— React 19, PWA-first, offline-capable

Multi-tenant SaaS architecture— every other tool is a single-business install
