Where they really differ
What you are billed on
Twice charges a monthly fee per location and takes a share of every payment. On pay-as-you-go, Louez has no fixed cost and takes 4% of your rentals, VAT included.
Rentals only, or circular commerce
Twice also handles resale, buyback and product subscriptions, with kiosks and marketplaces. Louez sticks to rentals, from the store to the return.
Technical openness
Twice's whole admin runs on its public API. Louez publishes its source code and offers an API and an MCP server; you can also host it yourself.
