The landscape
Search "Shopify rental" and you'll get plumbing-tool rentals next to wedding-dress rentals next to enterprise circular-fashion suites. They're not interchangeable. Pick by what you're renting and how big your brand is.

Rent Indie
Built specifically for indie fashion brands on Shopify. Install, tag pieces, set price and rental window, go live. Returns auto re-list. Flat $25/mo plus 5% per rental. No sales call, no dev work, no re-platforming.
Pick it when: you're an indie label and rental is a new revenue line, not a strategic transformation.
Weloop
A full circular-fashion suite — rental, resale, repair, take-back — sold to mid-to-large sustainable brands. Sales-led onboarding, custom pricing, real integration depth.
Pick it when: you have a sustainability team and need more than rental.
FlexCon Product Rental, Hire
Currently the top-ranking generic rental app on the Shopify App Store. Works for fashion in a pinch, but the UX and feature set are tuned for equipment and tools.
Pick it when: you rent physical inventory that isn't fashion.
Product Rentals Pro
Date-picker and booking-flow specialist. Strong if you need calendar availability across many SKUs. Like FlexCon, not fashion-specific.
Pick it when: bookings and date selection are the core problem.
