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 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 Stable Manager
Runs the morning round with two grooms, a trainee and a mini-jobber, and is the one the vet calls. Wants feeding plans the night shift can read on a phone, medication logged with who gave what, rotas and time records that hold up, and an app that still works at the far end of the barn.

This judge's pick
Stall Manager
Criterion by criterion
Board contracts, extra services & billing
Equimondo
Each month the board pensions and their supplements invoice, debit and reconcile themselves, with SEPA and card collection through a named French provider, dunning, accounting export with a cash book, e-signed pension contracts, and invoices in Factur-X, UBL and CII formats. I found no public information on extra services being logged on the phone where they happen and flowing into the bill, on SEPA mandate handling, or on credit notes and multiple payers per horse.
Stall Manager
The billing add-on is described as digitising the full invoicing workflow from fixed costs and add-ons to PDF exports, the SEPA & Dunning add-on names mandate management, collection runs and structured dunning levels, and riding shares on school horses bill monthly on their own. I found no public information on VAT rates per service type, credit notes, or an export to DATEV or another named accounting tool.
Horse records, feeding & health
Equimondo
Vaccines, worming, shoeing, teeth, feeding and the vet's visits are traced, automatically reminded and shared with the right people, with horse identification from the IFCE SIRE file, a breeding register and a free full export in reusable formats. For my night round I would still want more: I found no public information on feeding plans shown by feeding round, or a medication log with dose, date and who administered it.
Stall Manager
Horse profiles, feeding and inventory documentation and appointments are in the base licence, which the night shift could work with. I found no public information on vaccination or worming schedules with due dates, a medication log showing who gave what and when, or a full per-horse history export — for a yard a vet or inspector visits, that decides it.
Staff, rotas & daily operations
Equimondo
What the pages show is rider-facing — online planning and bookings with waiting lists, box occupancy and automatic care reminders. I found no public information on recurring yard tasks or feeding rounds assigned to people with completion ticked, a duty or shift plan, holiday planning, or time recording for employees and mini-jobbers that would hold up at payroll.
Stall Manager
Recurring tasks, calendar, absences and team communication are in the base, with push notices and use of key content without a stable connection — that matters at the far end of my barn. I found no public information on time recording for employees and mini-jobbers, boarder duty rotas, or a record of who completed which task when.
Boarder portal & communication
Equimondo
An owner portal is named with the automated pension collection, owners book and re-register online around the clock, sign their pension contracts electronically and receive yard emails, and the privacy policy states the stable stays controller of rider and owner data with Equimondo as processor. I found no public information on each owner seeing only their own horse's records, co-owners or part-lease shares scoped separately, or instructions acknowledged by the staff member who reads them.
Stall Manager
Members and families get app and browser access, roles are stated to keep each person to fitting information, and families can book lessons online and see their appointments and riding minutes. I found no public information on owners viewing their own horse's records and the charges billed to them, or on instructions to staff being acknowledged.
Facilities, lessons & events
Equimondo
Facilities can be opened to online booking with waiting lists and reminders, registrations are dematerialised, lesson cards and packages are automated into the billing, and passing horses can be hosted with no commission to the yard. I found no public information on booking rules or closures per user group, equipment use linked to billing or credit, or school-horse workload being tracked.
Stall Manager
Arena and zone booking with conflict check, waitlist and recurring series is stated, and the lesson module covers planning with trainer and school-horse assignment, visible capacity, subscription lessons, settled bookings and attendance statistics. I found no public information on closures or booking rules per user group, or events with participant management and payment.
European sovereignty
Equimondo
The contracting entity is a French company at Courseulles-sur-Mer, servers and backups sit with OVH in France, and the named subprocessors for payments, email, SMS, the AI assistant and e-signature are all in France or the EU, with a data processing agreement and published security measures, retention and deletion. Two points keep it off the top mark: the optional Google Calendar sync runs through the Irish arm of a US group and a non-EU AI service is used only with anonymised data, and ownership above the French company is not shown.
Stall Manager
Servers located in Germany is stated, the legal notice names a Nuremberg sole trader as responsible party, and the privacy policy covers the GDPR and the Swiss data protection act with standard contractual clauses and IP masking. The chain is only partly proven — one subprocessor named in Germany, hosting on rented space from an unnamed web hoster, and US transfers acknowledged under the Data Privacy Framework.
Pricing transparency
Equimondo
A yard owner can compute the year from the public pages alone: horse-side features are free for life, and the paid billing module runs at 19 € HT, 29 € HT or 45 € HT per month according to the regular riders counted over twelve rolling months, with passing riders never counted, zero installation fee, no commitment, VAT added at the current rate of 20 %, support included in every plan and the 30 € HT payment-rejection fee disclosed. Cancellation on any chosen date with only the started month due, free full data export in standard formats, and 90 days' notice plus export if the free tier were ever stopped are all published.
Stall Manager
One price for the whole stable ("2,49 € per month or 29,99 € per year", no member or horse limit), "every standard add-on costs EUR 2.50 per month or EUR 30.00 per year", the complete package and a three-module combination priced, the website package with "Setup is EUR 149.00 once", 19% VAT included, no minimum term and a 30-day free trial. An annual cost is computable from public pages; I found no public information on hardware or device costs or data return at cancellation.
