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 Tax Adviser
Does the books for a dozen equestrian businesses and knows that board, lessons and sold hay are not taxed alike. Wants invoices with GoBD-compliant numbering, VAT per service, a DATEV export instead of a shoebox of PDFs, and time records for the staff that would survive a customs minimum-wage check.

This judge's pick
Stall Manager
Criterion by criterion
Board contracts, extra services & billing
Equimondo
Board and supplements are invoiced, collected by SEPA and reconciled automatically each month, with dunning, e-signed pension contracts, electronic invoice formats Factur-X, UBL and CII, and an accounting export with a cash book — most of what I need at year end. I found no public information on configurable VAT rates per service type, credit notes, GoBD-style numbering and archiving, or an export named for a specific accounting tool, and no public information on splitting a horse's charges across several payers.
Stall Manager
The billing module digitizes the stable's full invoicing workflow "from fixed costs and add-ons to clean PDF exports", extended by SEPA mandate management, collection runs and structured dunning, plus a prepaid credit and voucher module and automated monthly billing for riding shares and lesson bookings. We found no public information on VAT rates configurable per service type, credit notes, GoBD-compliant numbering or an export to DATEV or another named accounting tool, which keeps it short of the top of the scale.
Horse records, feeding & health
Equimondo
Care, shoeing, worming, dentistry, vaccination and feeding are tracked per horse with automatic reminders and shared with the right people, alongside a breeding register and horse identification imported from the IFCE SIRE file — the SIRE link is exactly the kind of source data I like to see. I found no public information on a medication log with dose, date and the person who administered it, due dates against a federation vaccination schedule, or a documented per-horse file export when the horse leaves.
Stall Manager
Horse profiles, feeding and stock documentation, tasks and appointments sit in the base licence, and the AI assistant works across horse data. We found no public information on vaccination, worming or farrier records with reminders, a medication log with dose and administrator, passport data, or an exportable file when the horse leaves the yard.
Staff, rotas & daily operations
Equimondo
I found no public information on task lists, feeding rounds, shift or holiday planning, or time recording for employees and mini-jobbers. The captured pages I read — the features pages and the pricing page — cover horses, riders, planning and bookings, care, teaching and billing only, so nothing there bears on staff duties or hours.
Stall Manager
Recurring tasks, a calendar, absence planning and team communication are in the base licence, with push notifications, offline use and role-based permissions so each person sees only what fits them. We found no public information on time recording for employees and mini-jobbers, which is what I would need to see survive a minimum-wage or customs check on the grooms' hours.
Boarder portal & communication
Equimondo
An owner portal is named alongside automated pension billing, online booking runs round the clock with online registrations and re-registrations, care entries are shared with the right people, and mobile apps exist for both stores, while the privacy policy puts the stable as controller with Equimondo as processor under a data processing agreement. I found no public information on separate scoping for co-owners or shared-riding arrangements, push notifications for due dates and charges, or acknowledgement of owner instructions by staff.
Stall Manager
Members and families get app and browser access with online lesson booking, credit balances, a wallet forecast of known lesson costs and statistics on their own appointments and riding minutes, with permissions scoping what each person sees. We found no public information on owners viewing their horse's full record or having instructions acknowledged by the staff member who reads them.
Facilities, lessons & events
Equimondo
Booking is open around the clock with waiting lists and reminders, box occupancy and an online shop are shown, lesson cards and packages are billed automatically, a teaching module tracks each rider's progress, and passing horses are hosted commission-free through oPaddock. I found no public information on booking rules per user group, closures, school-horse workload tracking, or events with participant management and payment.
Stall Manager
Arena, outdoor and roundpen zones are bookable with conflict checks, waitlists and recurring series, and lessons run with trainer and school-horse assignment, capacity display, subscriptions and billing of bookings, with compatible IoT devices connectable. We found no public information on booking rules per user group, event participant management with payment, or utilisation reporting per facility.
European sovereignty
Equimondo
A French SARL is the contracting entity under French law, servers and backups sit with OVH in France, and the subprocessor list names OVH, Stancer, Brevo, Spot-Hit, Mistral AI and Yousign, all in France or the EU, with a data processing agreement offered, breach notification duties stated and security measures published. Ownership is not shown, and the only US-touching links are the optional Google Calendar sync and anonymised Anthropic processing, framed by the Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses.
Stall Manager
Servers are stated to be in Germany, the controller is Markus Schneider, received.eu, Nürnberg, with a German VAT identification number, and the privacy policy covers the software platform's users under GDPR and the Swiss FADP; Lexoffice (Haufe Service Center GmbH, Germany) is named as a subprocessor and US transfers rest on the Data Privacy Framework with standard contractual clauses as fallback. We found no public information on the named hosting infrastructure or a data processing agreement offered to the stable for boarder and staff data.
Pricing transparency
Equimondo
All three tiers are published monthly excluding tax and scale by regular riders counted over twelve rolling months — up to 35 riders at 19 € HT, 36 to 80 at 29 € HT, above 80 at 45 € HT as the maximum — with 20% VAT named, zero setup fee, no commitment with a client-chosen termination date, a 30 € HT fee per rejected direct debit, support included in every plan, and free data export at any time in reusable formats with a post-closure window. For any given yard size I can derive the annual cost from the public pages alone, and the cancellation and data-return terms are published — this is how every stable-management vendor should price.
Stall Manager
Everything is public: the base licence at "2,49 € pro Monat oder 29,99 € pro Jahr" for the entire stable with unlimited members and horses, every add-on at 2,50 € per month or 30 € per year, the complete package with all eight standard add-on modules at 19,90 € per month or 199,00 € per year, and the separately sold website package at EUR 15.00 per month or EUR 180.00 per year with a EUR 149.00 one-off setup. Terms are stated: all prices include 19% VAT, no minimum term, no automatic renewal, no cancellation notice, a free 30-day trial, free support and free onboarding, so the annual software cost is computable from public pages. We found no public information on hardware or device costs, or on what happens to the data on cancellation.
