Why DaySmart customers switch to Animal Friends OS

DaySmart is a well-known name, but annual contracts and per-user fees add up. When your team grows, your software cost grows with it. Animal Friends OS charges $45/month flat — one user or twenty, the price never changes.

How we calculate your savings

Software savings: (DaySmart monthly fee − $45) × 12

Per-user savings: Staff count × per-user fee × 12. Animal Friends OS includes unlimited staff.

SMS savings: Monthly messages × ($0.08 avg DaySmart rate − $0.004 BYOP) × 12

Contract buyout: Remaining months × DaySmart monthly total (subscription + per-user fees). Divide by monthly savings to see how many months until you break even.

The hidden cost of annual contracts

Annual contracts feel like a discount, but they lock you in. If you find better software mid-year, you either pay for two products or eat the cancellation fee. Our calculator shows exactly when switching becomes net-positive — for most DaySmart customers, even with a 6-month remaining contract, the savings cover the buyout within 4–5 months.

Per-user fees punish growth

DaySmart charges extra for each staff login. Hire a new groomer? Your software bill goes up. Bring on a part-time bather? More fees. Animal Friends OS includes unlimited staff — your software cost stays at $45/month whether you have 1 employee or 20.
