Feature-by-Feature Comparison
How the Pricing Compares
MoeGo starts at $49 per month and is grooming software first. PetExec starts at $100 per month and is boarding software first. Choosing between them usually means asking which half of your week matters more. Groomify covers grooming and boarding in one platform at $39 per month on annual billing, with AI in every module.
All three handle online booking, payments, and reporting, so the basics are covered wherever you land. The gap opens on AI. PetExec has none, MoeGo stops at basic scheduling, and Groomify includes a receptionist, breed recognition, smart pricing, and marketing automation in every plan.
Where Each Platform Fits
MoeGo suits groomers who want proven scheduling and a polished mobile experience. PetExec suits large boarding operations with dedicated staff who live in kennel assignments and lodging check-ins all day. Both are capable inside their own lane.
The trouble starts when your business straddles the lanes. A grooming salon that boards on weekends, or a daycare that grooms, ends up paying for two systems or forcing one to do a job it was not built for. Groomify was built for exactly that overlap, with grooming and facility tools in the same calendar.
Cost tells the same story. PetExec at $100 per month is the most expensive path and locks you into facility-shaped software. MoeGo at $49 is fair for grooming alone. Groomify at $39 on annual billing is the least expensive of the three and the only one that covers grooming and boarding equally.
What the AI Actually Does
The AI receptionist answers your phone around the clock, books appointments in conversation, and calls back missed numbers. Breed recognition builds pet profiles from a photo. Smart pricing suggests rates by service and coat. The marketing agent posts your finished grooms and answers reviews. None of this exists in MoeGo or PetExec.
For a solo groomer that means the phone stops running your day. For a facility it means the front desk gets backup that never takes a sick day.
All of it is included in the plans rather than sold as separate products, and all of it is live during the 14-day free trial. You do not have to take the value on faith from a feature list. Put the receptionist on your own phone number, let the chatbot take bookings from your website for a week, and count the appointments that land on your calendar.
Switching From MoeGo or PetExec
Migration to Groomify is free from either platform. Export your clients, pets, and appointments, and the Groomify team handles the import. Most businesses complete the switch in a weekend and keep taking bookings the whole time.
Setup itself takes about 5 minutes, which matters if you remember how long PetExec took to configure. Start the 14-day free trial before cancelling your current subscription, run the two side by side, and count what the AI receptionist books in a week. That is the comparison that pays your rent.
The Bottom Line
If you need pure boarding software and grooming is an afterthought, PetExec fits. If you need grooming only and can live without AI, MoeGo works. If you want both halves plus a platform that answers your calls, Groomify does it at $39 per month, with free migration and a 14-day trial to prove it on your own bookings.
Price-wise the order is clear: Groomify at $39, MoeGo at $49, PetExec at $100. Feature-wise only one of the three answers your phone. For most grooming businesses that combination settles the question.
