Rentman is a solid choice for AV companies and rental houses that send equipment out to clients. Cheqroom is built for teams that own their gear and keep it moving internally, across rooms, crews, and locations, with unlimited users included.
TL;DR: The Quick Answer
Rentman is built for rentals: quoting, client sign-off, and equipment going out to paying customers. Cheqroom is built for operations: teams that own their gear and deploy it internally, across rooms, studios, campuses, or crews. If your gear moves between your own people and places, not out to customers, Cheqroom is built for that.
Rentman is built for equipment going out to clients and coming back. Cheqroom is built for gear that moves between your own rooms, crews, and locations, with conflict prevention and buffer time built into every booking.
Rentman's pricing stacks per-power-user charges across each module: scheduling, crew, tracking, invoicing. Cheqroom includes unlimited users on every plan, so adding coordinators, students, or crew doesn't add to your bill.

It coordinates physical assets, people, spaces, and maintenance in real time, so teams always know what's available, what's ready, who has it, what's next, and what needs attention. This is how Cheqroom works for you from day one: everything connected, so you always know what you need to know, exactly when you need to know it.

Whether you’re supporting a sports team, running a production department, or coordinating AV across locations, you need more than a rental calendar. You need visibility, accountability, and flow.
Cheqroom is the equipment operations platform for teams who rely on gear every day — and can’t afford to get it wrong.
Rentman is built for rental workflows, equipment goes out to clients and comes back. Cheqroom is an Asset Operations Platform for internal teams: it coordinates people, spaces, and equipment across your own operation, not a client-facing rental storefront.
Yes. If you operate your own events, deploy gear to internal teams, or manage long-term projects where equipment isn't constantly turning over, Cheqroom's internal-operations logic, coordinating who has what, what's next, and what needs attention, may fit better than a rental-first tool.
Because equipment operations are rarely done by just a few people. Cheqroom lets you invite your whole team, from coordinators to students, without driving up costs.
Higher ed AV teams, broadcasters, film production crews, and operationally focused organizations that need the full picture, what's available, what's ready, who has it, what's next, across large teams.
Asset Operations (AssetOps) is the discipline of coordinating people, physical assets, spaces, and maintenance in real time so work keeps moving.
AssetOps is not just about keeping a clean inventory list. It is the operating layer that turns disconnected tools into one connected operating ecosystem.
It shifts the focus from simply tracking assets to ensuring the availability, control, and efficiency of specialized, high-value physical equipment, spaces or everyday essentials for teams, departments or full organizations. It's the operating system for physical assets and the people that use them.
