Horsepower vs Equine Genie
Equine Genie sells a genuinely different deal — software you install on a PC or Mac and buy outright, from $349 for the Stable edition up to $499 for Pro, with no monthly or annual charges and support included. If you would rather own your software than rent it, that is a real advantage and we will not pretend otherwise. The trade-off is that the yard lives on one computer: remote data entry is a separate $199 clientGenie purchase, and there are no native phone apps. Horsepower is the opposite shape — cloud-hosted, native iOS and Android apps, everyone on the yard in the same app on their own phone, with records, treatments and due-date reminders, the shared calendar, feeds, paddocks & turnout, riders, messaging, forms and practitioner logins, free for yards with up to three horses.
