Why Gingr customers switch to Animal Friends OS

Gingr is a solid product, but the pricing model punishes growth. Every new staff member costs more. Every dollar processed loses 1% to gateway fees. Every text message has a surcharge. Animal Friends OS eliminates all of that with one flat price.

How we calculate your savings

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

Gateway fee savings: Monthly revenue × gateway fee percentage × 12. With Animal Friends OS you use your own processor — no middleman cut.

Per-user savings: Staff count × per-user fee × 12. Animal Friends OS includes unlimited staff at no extra cost.

SMS savings: (Gingr SMS rate − $0.004) × monthly messages × 12. The $0.004 rate is average Twilio BYOP pricing.

The math behind $4,200+/year in savings

A typical Gingr customer running $10,000/month in revenue with 3 staff and 300 monthly SMS messages pays roughly $125 (subscription) + $100 (1% gateway) + $45 (per-user) + $24 (SMS) = $294/month total. With Animal Friends OS, the same facility pays $45 (subscription) + $0 (gateway) + $0 (per-user) + $1.20 (SMS via Twilio) = $46.20/month. That is $247.80/month in savings, or $2,973.60/year — and facilities with higher revenue save even more.
