Pet software that advertises $49/month often costs $200+ with add-ons. Use our calculator to see the real cost — and how much you save with Oden.
The hidden cost problem
$49/month becomes $200+/month. Here's how.
Most pet software platforms advertise a low base price — then add fees for SMS, payment processing, extra users, marketing tools, and "premium" features. By the time you're actually using the software to run your business, you're paying 3-5x the advertised price.

The 6 hidden costs
Where the money disappears
SMS markup
Competitors charge $0.02-$0.05 per message (2-6x over Twilio's $0.0079). 500 messages/month = $10-$25 vs Oden's $3.95.
Gateway fees
1-3% of your payment volume ON TOP of Stripe. $10k/month in payments = $100-$300/month in gateway fees. Oden: $0.
Per-user pricing
$15-$30 per additional staff member. A team of 4 adds $45-$90/month. Oden: $9.99/user.
Marketing add-ons
Email campaigns, landing pages, referral programs — sold as separate add-ons. $15-$35/month each. Oden: included or optional.
Premium basics
Online booking, digital waivers, automated reminders — locked behind premium tiers. $30-$70/month upgrade. Oden: included.
Price increases
"$39 → $200/month!" — once your data is locked in, they raise prices. Oden: price changes only apply to new users.
