Current RMS Alternative
Rising per-user costs. A dated interface. Slowing development. If Current RMS isn't working for your rental business anymore, you're not alone. Ultimate RMS is the modern alternative — built from the ground up in 2026.
Current RMS charges $99/month per user. A 10-person team costs $990/month. Ultimate RMS? $149/month — flat rate.
Since the Kerridge acquisition in 2018, users report fewer updates, slower feature releases, and declining innovation.
Built years ago and bolted onto over time. Users describe needing constant workarounds for basic tasks.
Now called 'OnRent Events' under Kerridge, but the domain still says current-rms.com. Brand confusion makes support harder to find.
No per-user fees means your costs stay predictable as your team grows. Here's what you'd pay at every team size.
| Team Size | Ultimate RMS | Current RMS | You Save |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 user | $49/mo | $99/mo | $50/mo (51%) |
| 3 users | $49/mo | $297/mo | $248/mo (84%) |
| 5 users | $149/mo | $495/mo | $346/mo (70%) |
| 10 users | $149/mo | $990/mo | $841/mo (85%) |
