Horsepower vs BarnBeacon

BarnBeacon aims at US boarding barns with complicated, variable billing — multi-service invoicing, an owner-facing portal for horse records, and AI-assisted health monitoring that flags changes from logged data over time. It offers a 30-day trial, though it does not publish pricing. Horsepower is built for the shared running of a yard rather than boarding billing specifically: horse records, vet & farrier history with due-date reminders, the shared calendar, feed plans, paddock maps & turnout, riders, team messaging, versioned member forms and practitioner logins — with native iOS and Android apps, GPS ride tracking, published pricing and a free tier for yards with up to three horses.
