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.

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 Boarding-Stable Owner
Runs a forty-box Pensionsstall and loses a few hundred euros a month to blanket changes and leg wraps nobody wrote down. Wants extra services logged where they happen and billed without retyping, direct debit that collects on time, and one system instead of a spreadsheet and three WhatsApp groups.

Criterion by criterion
Board contracts, extra services & billing
Equimondo
Pensions and supplements are billed, direct-debited and reconciled automatically each month over SEPA via Stancer, with dunning, accounting export, e-invoice formats Factur-X, UBL and CII, and pension contracts signed electronically through Yousign — that is the automation I need so extras stop going unbilled. We found no public information on VAT rates configurable per service type, credit notes, multiple payers per horse, or an export to a named accounting tool such as DATEV.
Stall Manager
The billing module is stated to digitise the full invoicing workflow from fixed costs and add-ons to clean PDF exports, and the SEPA-and-dunning add-on adds mandate management, collection runs and structured dunning levels — the direct-debit discipline my yard bleeds money without. Riding shares are billed automatically each month, lesson bookings are settled in the lesson module, and prepaid credit with vouchers sits in its own module. I found no public information on VAT rates configurable per service type, credit notes, or an export to DATEV or another named accounting tool.
Horse records, feeding & health
Equimondo
Care, shoeing, deworming, teeth, feeding and vet visits are traced per horse with automatic reminders, shared with the right people, with unlimited horses and horse identification imported from the IFCE SIRE file. We found no public information on a medication log with dose and who administered it, blanket or turnout instructions, or a per-horse history exportable as a document.
Stall Manager
The base licence gives horse profiles with feeding and stock documented, unlimited horses, and appointments and tasks around them. I found no public information on vaccination, worming or farrier dates with reminders, on a medication log with dose and administrator, or on an exportable history per horse — so the health half of the record stays unproven to me.
Staff, rotas & daily operations
Equimondo
Care work such as shoeing, worming and vet visits is traced and reminded automatically, which touches the daily round but is horse care rather than yard tasks. We found no public information on shared task lists with completion ticked, shift and holiday planning, time recording for employees and mini-jobbers, or boarder duty rotas.
Stall Manager
Tasks, a calendar with absences and recurring routines give the day a structure, roles and permissions keep each person on fitting information, and important content is usable offline with push notices — that replaces the spreadsheet and three WhatsApp groups. I found no public information on time recording for employees and mini-jobbers, on boarder duty rotas for self-care stables, or on a completion history per task.
Boarder portal & communication
Equimondo
Owners book online around the clock without a phone call, register and re-register themselves, receive emails, the pension features include an owner portal, care data is shared with the right people, and the privacy policy names how rider and owner data are processed. We found no public information on owners viewing their own invoices in the portal, separate scoping for co-owners or shared rides, or acknowledgement of instructions by staff.
Stall Manager
Members get one access for app and browser and are stated to see only information fitting their role; on the riding-school side families see their bookings, credit balance, riding minutes and a wallet forecast, and book lessons online. For boarding owners specifically I found no public information that they see their own horse's records and the invoices billed to them, nor on instructions acknowledged by staff or owner data export and deletion on request.
Facilities, lessons & events
Equimondo
Online bookings come with waiting lists, registrations are dematerialised, box occupancy and commission-free hosting of passing horses are covered, and the teaching module with FFE Galops progression plus automated lesson cards and forfaits ties into billing. We found no public information on booking rules per user group, equipment use such as walker or solarium linked to billing, school-horse workload tracking, or events with participant payment.
Stall Manager
Arena, outdoor and roundpen zones are bookable with conflict checking, waitlists and recurring series; lessons carry time, type, trainer and school horses with a capacity display, recurring lessons run as subscriptions, bookings are settled, and attendance statistics distinguish cancellations and show riding minutes. A device connection is named only as an add-on for compatible devices — I found no public information on which devices or on closures and per-group booking rules.
European sovereignty
Equimondo
A French SARL under French law, hosting with OVH in France including backups, and a published subprocessor list with locations — payments Stancer, email Brevo, SMS Spot-Hit, signature Yousign, AI Mistral, all France or EU — plus an Article 28 data processing agreement, published security measures, free export and documented deletion. Google Ireland is involved only if the optional calendar sync is switched on and Anthropic only with anonymised data; we found no public information on the ownership structure.
Stall Manager
The homepage states servers are located in Germany, the legal notice and privacy policy name a controller in Nuremberg under German law with GDPR coverage, and one subprocessor — Lexoffice from Haufe Service Center GmbH in Freiburg — is published with a data processing agreement. Hosting is described as rented space from an unnamed web host with US transfers relying on the Data Privacy Framework, and I found no public information on the hosting provider's name, a complete subprocessor list, or a data processing agreement offered to the stable itself.
Pricing transparency
Equimondo
Three published tiers scale by regular riders — 19 € HT, 29 € HT and 45 € HT per month — with passing riders never counted, zero setup fees, no commitment, VAT stated at 20 %, support included in every plan, and cancellation with free data export as well as the 30 € HT per-rejection fee all stated in the terms. For my forty boxes the annual cost is derivable from these pages alone; the only wrinkle is that the scaling counts regular riders rather than boxes.
Stall Manager
For 2,49 € per month or 29,99 € per year the whole stable is covered with no member or horse limit, every standard add-on costs 2,50 € per month or 30 € per year, the complete package with all eight add-ons is 19,90 € per month or 199,00 € per year, all prices include 19 % VAT, and there is no minimum term, automatic renewal or cancellation notice — I can compute my annual cost to the euro before any sales call. I found no public information on pricing for the device connection or on what happens to my stable's data after cancellation.
