The short answer

The benches lean different ways by criterion, and no overall winner emerges. Equimondo leads horse care records (6.0 vs 4.0, six judges lean Equimondo), sovereignty (8.0 vs 5.7, six lean Equimondo), pricing transparency (9.3 vs 8.7, three lean, three tie) and boarding and billing (7.2 vs 7.0, one lean, five tie). Stall Manager leads staff and operations (4.7 vs 0.8, six lean Stall Manager; judges reported no public information on Equimondo's task lists, feeding rounds or time recording), facilities and lessons (7.3 vs 6.2, six lean Stall Manager) and the boarder portal (5.2 vs 4.7, three lean, three tie). Equimondo's attributes list a French legal entity, EU-only residency and US CLOUD Act subprocessor exposure; Stall Manager lists EU-only residency, with jurisdiction and subprocessor exposure unknown. Weighted totals run Equimondo 5.3 to 7.2 against Stall Manager's 5.1 to 6.7 across five scored judges; the pension owner's row carries no total.

Choose Equimondo if

  • You need vaccination, worming, farrier or medication records per horse — horse care records leans Equimondo six to zero (6.0 vs 4.0), and Stall Manager's verdict reports no public information on those records.
  • Your procurement requires a supplier with a known legal entity in the EU — Equimondo's legal entity jurisdiction is France, while Stall Manager's is listed as unknown.
  • You issue structured e-invoices and e-signed pension contracts — boarding and billing leans Equimondo one to zero with five ties (7.2 vs 7.0), and the verdict names Factur-X, UBL and CII formats, automatic invoicing and SEPA collection.
  • You compare published tier prices side by side — pricing transparency leans Equimondo three to zero with three ties (9.3 vs 8.7), with tiers at 19 € HT, 29 € HT and 45 € HT per month.
  • Your priority is the scored sovereignty criterion — six judges lean Equimondo (8.0 vs 5.7), though its subprocessor exposure is listed as US CLOUD Act.

Choose Stall Manager if

  • You schedule staff and daily feeding rounds — staff and operations leans Stall Manager six to zero (4.7 vs 0.8).
  • You run riding lessons and facility bookings — facilities and lessons leans Stall Manager six to zero (7.3 vs 6.2), with zone booking, conflict checks and waitlists named in the verdict.
  • Your boarders book lessons themselves and carry credit balances — the boarder portal leans Stall Manager three to zero with three ties (5.2 vs 4.7).
  • You pay per stable rather than per rider — Stall Manager's verdict lists 2,49 € per month or 29,99 € per year with unlimited members and horses, while Equimondo scales by regular riders counted over twelve rolling months.
  • You want servers stated to be in Germany — Stall Manager's verdict cites German servers with EU-only data residency in the attributes; note the sovereignty criterion itself leans Equimondo (8.0 vs 5.7).

Read this comparison as one judge. Each weighs the same scores by what they care about.

The Boarder

Pays five hundred euros a month for her mare and works full time. Wants to see what the farrier did, why the bill has three extra wraps, and whether her turnout instruction was read — and does not want the other boarders, or an analytics company, seeing her horse's file.

This judge's pick

Stall Manager

Criterion by criterion

Board contracts, extra services & billing

Equimondo

Every month the board and the supplements invoice, debit and reconcile themselves, pension contracts are signed electronically through a French eIDAS-qualified provider, payment runs by SEPA direct debit or card via Stancer, dunning and accounting export are in the module, and invoices come out in the Factur-X, UBL and CII electronic formats — the money side mostly runs inside the system. We found no public information on extra services being logged on the phone where they happen, credit notes, per-service VAT rates, or a horse split between several payers, so the trace from my bill's three extra wraps back to who logged them is not shown.

Stall Manager

The billing module is described as digitising the full invoicing workflow from fixed costs and add-ons to clean PDF exports, and a separate module adds SEPA mandate management, collection runs and structured dunning; a credit-and-voucher add-on and automated monthly billing of riding shares round it out. As a boarder, though, the captured pages give me no invoice sent to my side, no per-service VAT settings, no credit notes and no accounting export beyond PDFs — and nothing shows that three extra wraps on my bill trace back to the person who logged them.

Horse records, feeding & health

Equimondo

Care, shoeing, worming, teeth, feeding and vet visits are traced per horse and reminded automatically, records are shared "avec les bonnes personnes", horse care and an unlimited horse register sit in the free tier, and identification imports from the IFCE SIRE file — I could see when the farrier came. We found no public information on a medication log with dose, date and who administered it, on turnout or blanket instructions, or on the horse's full history exported as a document when she moves stables, which is what would make the record stand up to scrutiny.

Stall Manager

Horse profiles, feeding documentation, tasks and appointments sit in the base licence, which covers daily organisation. But the public pages are silent on vaccinations, worming, farrier and vet entries, medication logs, passport data and any export of the horse's file when it moves — and as someone who pays to see exactly what the farrier did, that silence decides it.

Staff, rotas & daily operations

Equimondo

We found no public information on task lists, feeding rounds, shift or holiday planning, or time recording for grooms and mini-jobbers on the homepage, both features pages, the pricing page or the terms. The captured pages describe horses, riders, bookings, billing and data protection, and nothing on how the yard organises its daily staff work.

Stall Manager

Tasks, a calendar, absences and recurring processes are offered, with push notices, offline use in a barn and role-based permissions — decent bones for the daily round. What I cannot find is any evidence of tasks assigned to and ticked off by a named person, time recording for staff, or boarder duty rotas, so I cannot tell from these pages who actually did the evening feed.

Boarder portal & communication

Equimondo

An owner portal is named alongside the automated pension billing, riders book and register online "24h/24, sans appel ni message", the stable can reach riders by email and SMS, and the privacy policy makes the stable the controller of owner and rider data with Equimondo acting as processor under a data processing agreement. We found no public information on owners seeing their own horse's records and itemised invoices, on staff acknowledging my turnout instructions, or on co-owners and riding shares being scoped separately — for me that is the difference between a portal and a notice board.

Stall Manager

Members get app and browser access, roles are stated to ensure each person sees only fitting information, and riding-school families can see their own bookings, credit movements and riding minutes per participant — good scoping on the school side. For a livery boarder like me the pages never show my own horse's records or my invoices inside my login, and nothing says my turnout instruction was read by anyone; the general GDPR rights in the privacy policy are the only stated route to my data.

Facilities, lessons & events

Equimondo

Online bookings run with waiting lists and reminders, there is an online shop, a teaching module with per-rider progress and EquiQuiz tied to the FFE Galops, and oPaddock opens the facilities to reservation for passing horses without commission. Lesson cards and packages ("cartes & forfaits") are automated in the paid billing module, with online registration in the free tier. We found no public information on booking rules per user group, equipment use linked to billing, school-horse workload, or events with participant management and payment.

Stall Manager

Arena and zones are bookable with conflict checks, waitlists and recurring series, lessons come with trainer, school horses, capacity display, subscriptions and settled bookings, and riding shares on school horses bill automatically with weekly quotas. Clinics and events with participant management and payment, closures and per-group booking rules, and any concrete device integration remain undocumented beyond a general IoT mention.

European sovereignty

Equimondo

The vendor is a French SARL in Courseulles-sur-Mer under French law with the Caen commercial court named, hosting sits on named infrastructure at OVH in Roubaix with servers and backups in France, and the full subprocessor list gives locations: Stancer for payments, Brevo for email, Spot-Hit for SMS, Yousign for signature, Mistral AI in the EU, with Google Ireland only for an optional Calendar sync. A data processing agreement covers rider, owner and team data, export is free at any time in reusable formats, deletion within 30 days of contract end is documented, security measures are published, there are no advertising cookies or trackers, and the only non-EU touch beyond the optional Calendar sync is pre-anonymized data to Anthropic. Company ownership is not shown and the phone app's app-store and push chain is absent from the list, which keeps me just under the top.

Stall Manager

The vendor is a German sole trader in Nuremberg with a German VAT ID, the homepage states servers are located in Germany, and the privacy policy covers GDPR, grants the standard data-subject rights, names Lexoffice of Haufe Service Center GmbH in Freiburg, and relies on standard contractual clauses as a fallback for US transfers under the Data Privacy Framework. It falls short of the higher level because the actual hoster is only described as unnamed rented server space, and we found no public information on a full subprocessor list, a data processing agreement offered to the stable, or a security certification.

Pricing transparency

Equimondo

All three tiers are public with the scaling rule — up to 35 regular riders at 19 € HT/mois, 36 to 80 at 29 € HT, above 80 at 45 € HT as the maximum whatever the headcount, regular riders counted over the last twelve rolling months and passing riders never counted — with zero installation fee, no commitment, VAT at 20 % stated, support included in every plan, and a rejected direct debit costing 30 € HT. Cancellation is by email at a date the client chooses with only the started month due, data export is free at any time, and even the free tier carries a 90-day notice with a free full export. I could compute a year's cost for a given yard from these pages alone; we found no public information on any hardware or device pricing.

Stall Manager

Every figure I need is public: the base licence at 2,49 € per month or 29,99 € per year for the entire stable with unlimited members and horses, every standard add-on at EUR 2.50 per month or EUR 30.00 per year, the complete bundle at 19,90 EUR/Monat oder 199,00 EUR/Jahr, the website package at EUR 15.00 per month with EUR 149.00 one-time setup, 19% VAT included, no minimum term, no automatic renewal, and free support and onboarding — an annual cost for any yard size is computable from these pages alone. Only data-return terms on cancellation and any hardware costs behind the IoT option are not covered publicly.
