Comparison
Hovera vs Excel
Excel is free, but it doesn't scale past 20 horses. You lose an hour a day to manual entry, clients can't see their passes, invoices are issued separately. Hovera has a free plan for a small stable, and the paid plans cost PLN 99–499 net per month; the ROI calculator shows how much time it saves you.
