Switching From MoeGo?

Here is why facilities are moving to Animal Friends OS.

MoeGo built a polished product — nobody is denying that. But at $250/month for the full suite, forced payment processing, SMS from their number instead of yours, and per-user fees that scale with your team, a lot of facility owners are realizing they are paying a premium to build someone else’s brand. There is a better way.

Why facilities are leaving MoeGo

$250/month for the full suite

MoeGo’s pricing starts low, but unlocking everything — multi-service support, advanced reporting, priority support, SMS — pushes the bill to $250/month or more. That is $3,000/year on software alone. Animal Friends OS gives you every feature for $45/month flat. No tiers. No add-ons. No surprises.

They process your payments and take a cut

MoeGo handles payment processing through their own system. That means they sit between you and your money, taking a percentage of every transaction. Animal Friends OS never touches your payments. Use your own processor — Square, Stripe, Clover, whatever you prefer — and keep 100% of the revenue.

SMS comes from their number, not yours

When MoeGo sends appointment reminders or confirmations, they come from a MoeGo shortcode or phone number — not your business number. Your clients see an unfamiliar sender and sometimes ignore it. Animal Friends OS sends texts from YOUR phone number using the Bring Your Own SMS model. Your clients see your name.

Per-user fees add up fast

MoeGo’s pricing scales with team size. Every additional staff login increases your monthly bill. Hire a new groomer? Pay more. Bring on a kennel attendant? Pay more. Animal Friends OS has zero per-user fees. Unlimited staff accounts, unlimited logins, one price.

Why facility owners switched

"I was paying $250 a month for MoeGo and still had to use their payment processor. Switched to Animal Friends OS and I am saving over $200 a month. Plus my clients actually see my business name on texts now."

— J.R., grooming salon owner

"The per-user fees were killing us. We have 8 staff and MoeGo was charging for every single one. Animal Friends OS is $45 flat — I do not care if I hire 5 more people tomorrow, the price stays the same."

— M.T., boarding facility owner

"We do grooming, boarding, and training. MoeGo wanted us on their most expensive plan for multi-service. Animal Friends OS includes everything — grooming, boarding, daycare, training — for $45. It was an obvious decision."

— S.W., multi-service facility owner
