The short answer
PetExec does not publish its pricing — you request a demo and get a quote. Plug N Play publishes every number: free to start, $100/mo for up to 15 staff, $250/mo unlimited. If you are comparing the two, you will have to get a quote from them to complete the comparison.
What PetExec charges
Not published. We are not going to repeat a figure from a review site as though it were theirs — ask them directly, and ask what is included versus billed separately.
| All plans | Not published | quote after a demo |

Where PetExec is the better choice
Longevity and depth in facility operations. PetExec has been running daycare, boarding and grooming facilities for a long time and knows the category well. Buyers consistently report it handles multi-service facilities capably.
Where Plug N Play is different
We publish the price. Beyond that, the plan carries the back office — phone, payroll, contracts, website, learning library — that facility software usually leaves to other vendors.
