EZ BoatShare vs. BoatCloud
BoatCloud alternative without the per-seat sticker shock.
BoatCloud is dry-stack and club operations software with quote-only pricing. We publish ours and price by boat, not by seat.
For co-owners and small clubs who'd rather see a price than book a demo.
BoatCloud provides web and mobile apps for dry-stack marina and boat club scheduling — service reservations, launch requests and member communication. It's aimed at operators, and its pricing isn't published on its own site; third-party software directories list it as paid plans only with no public figures, and buyers we've talked to report per-seat costs in the range of $1,800 per user per year along with gaps around billing and reservations. Treat those buyer figures as reports, not gospel — ask BoatCloud directly. What we can state plainly is our own side.

Why groups switch to us
Per-seat pricing punishes growth
Adding a co-owner shouldn't cost like hiring staff. Crew is $35/month per boat plus $5 per member, and Solo and Starter are flat.
Reservations and billing are core, not add-ons
The calendar, dues, capital calls and Stripe collection are all in the plan you sign up for.
You can try it before you talk to anyone
Start the trial, and your club, first boat and settings are created automatically the moment payment details are in.
Common questions
How much does BoatCloud actually cost?
They don't publish it. Software directories list pricing on request, and buyers have reported figures near $1,800 per user per year. Ask them for a written quote — we can only vouch for our own published prices.
Does EZ BoatShare include billing and reservations?
Yes, both, in every paid plan: shared calendar with reservations and check-in/out, plus dues periods, capital calls, reminders and Stripe collection.
Can we move off a per-user contract mid-season?
Nothing on our side stops you — we're month to month. Check your existing agreement's term before you cancel it.
