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 Riding-School Lead
Runs lessons six days a week on twelve school horses, plus weekend clinics with guest riders. Wants lessons and arena slots booked without double bookings, school horses not over-worked, ten-lesson cards that count themselves, and course payments that land in the same books as board.

This judge's pick
Stall Manager
Criterion by criterion
Board contracts, extra services & billing
Equimondo
Pensions facture, debit and reconcile themselves each month with supplements included, SEPA direct debit runs via Stancer, dunning is listed, invoices go out in Factur-X, UBL and CII with an accounting export and cash book, and pension contracts are e-signed through Yousign. We found no public information on multiple payers per horse, prepaid credit with low-balance warnings, VAT rates configurable per service type, or charges traceable to the staff member who logged them.
Stall Manager
The billing module digitises the full stable invoicing workflow from fixed costs and add-on services to clean PDF exports, a SEPA extension adds mandate management, collection runs and structured dunning levels, and riding shares on school horses get automated monthly billing with a separate credit-and-voucher module. We found no public information on VAT rates configurable per service type, credit notes, or an export to a named accounting tool for the stable's own books.
Horse records, feeding & health
Equimondo
Care, shoeing, deworming, teeth, vaccinations and feeding are tracked with automatic reminders and shared with the right people, horses come in from the IFCE SIRE file, and a breeding register sits in the free tier. We found no public information on a medication log with dose and administrator, feeding plans by feeding round, or a per-horse history exportable as a document.
Stall Manager
Horse profiles plus feeding and inventory documentation sit in the base license, and feeding is named among the daily organisation features. We found no public information on vaccination, worming, farrier or vet records or a medication log, which is the health chain a vet or inspector would ask for.
Staff, rotas & daily operations
Equimondo
I found no public information on staff rotas, task lists, time recording, holiday planning or boarder duty arrangements on any of the captured pages I read. The features pages, pricing page and terms describe horses, riders, planning and billing, not yard staffing, so this criterion is reported but not scored.
Stall Manager
Tasks, a calendar, absences and recurring processes give a dependable day-to-week overview, with roles and permissions keeping each person to fitting information, plus push notifications and offline access for a barn without signal. We found no public information on time recording for employees or boarder duty rotas.
Boarder portal & communication
Equimondo
An owner portal tied to pension billing, round-the-clock online booking, online registration and re-registration with e-signature, emails to riders and a per-rider progress book are documented, and the privacy policy names rider and owner data with controller and processor roles. We found no public information on owners seeing their horse's full record and the invoices billed to them, co-owner or part-lease scoping, or push notifications.
Stall Manager
Members, families and children have separate profiles with app and browser access, families can book lessons online and review their appointments, riding minutes, attendance versus cancellations and credit balance with a top-up forecast. We found no public information on owners seeing their horse's records and invoices or on instructions being acknowledged by the staff member who reads them.
Facilities, lessons & events
Equimondo
Planning with online booking, waiting lists and reminders, box occupancy, guest boxes and commission-free facility reservations through oPaddock, and automated lesson cards and packages in the same billing module as pensions give me slots booked with capacity control and ten-lesson cards that count themselves. We found no public information on school-horse workload tracking, booking rules per user group or closures, device integration, or utilisation reported per facility.
Stall Manager
Arena, outdoor and round pen zones are bookable with conflict checking, waitlists and recurring series, lesson units carry time, type, trainer and school horses with visible capacities, and recurring lessons run on subscriptions with bookings settled against credit. Fixed riding shares on school horses come with user assignment, weekly quotas and automated monthly billing — exactly the double-booking guard and workload control I need; a generic IoT device connection is mentioned without detail, and we found no public information on weekend clinics with guest registration and payment.
European sovereignty
Equimondo
A French SARL registered at RCS Caen, servers and backups on named OVH infrastructure in France, a subprocessor list with locations, a data processing agreement for the stable, published security measures, and free export with deletion timelines are all stated. Two disclosed paths reach US-linked providers — the optional Google Calendar sync and anonymized processing by Anthropic — under stated safeguards, which keeps this below the top level.
Stall Manager
The vendor states servers in Germany and the responsible entity is a German sole trader in Nuremberg, with a GDPR privacy policy naming Lexoffice in Freiburg as a German provider for invoicing and accounting and disclosing US transfers under the Data Privacy Framework backed by standard contractual clauses. We found no public information naming the hosting infrastructure, on a full subprocessor list, or on a data processing agreement offered to the stable.
Pricing transparency
Equimondo
Three tiers at 19 € HT/mois, 29 € HT and 45 € HT scale by regular-rider count with passing riders unlimited and never counted, zero setup fee, no commitment, VAT of 20% stated on top of HT prices, a free-for-life horse-management tier with its features listed, support included in all plans, and cancellation with free data export plus 90 days notice on the free tier. A stable owner can derive the real annual cost from these pages alone; we found no public information on the cost of SMS or voice messages.
Stall Manager
Every price is public: the whole-stable base licence at 2,49 € per month or 29,99 € per year with unlimited members and horses, each standard add-on at 2,50 € per month or 30 € per year, the complete package with all eight add-ons at 19,90 € per month or 199,00 € per year, a three-module combination at 7,50 € per month or 90 € per year, and the website package at 15,00 € per month or 180,00 € per year with a 149,00 € one-off setup and a 10,00 € domain. All prices include 19% VAT, there is no minimum term, no automatic renewal and no cancellation notice period, and support and onboarding are free; we found no public information on what happens to the data on cancellation or on hardware costs for device connections.
