KennelBoss vs Breeder Cloud Pro
The cheapest serious option, and the only one here that is not really about dogs.
$449/year billed yearly. Marketplace listings, buyer video calls and the $500 reservation deposit are included.
$130.00/year billed yearly. Standard at $6.99 caps you at 10 active dams. Pro at $13.99/month lifts the cap; the $130.00/year price is Pro billed annually.
Breeder Cloud Pro runs dogs, cats, horses, goats, rabbits and sheep out of one system, which is why it is priced the way it is and why it is shaped the way it is. It has a breeder directory and payments through Payarc, so it is not purely a record book — but the directory lists breeders, not litters, and a buyer browsing it is browsing kennels.

Credit where it is due.
- The lowest entry price in this comparison by a wide margin, at $6.99 a month.
- One system for six species, which matters if you breed more than dogs.
- A Pet Portal where the buyer reaches their pet's details, contract, invoice and payment from a single link.
- A public breeder directory — the only competitor here with any buyer-facing discovery at all.
- Free access for non-profit rescues, which is a decent thing to do.
The gaps that cost you a sale.
- The directory lists breeders, not puppies, so a buyer searching for a breed and a date is not served by it.
- No video calls, no held balance, and no transport.
- Standard caps you at ten active dams; a busy kennel is on Pro whether it wanted to be or not.
- The breadth across six species is paid for in depth on any one of them.
Pick Breeder Cloud Pro when this is your problem.
A multi-species breeder, or anyone who wants solid records and a buyer portal for the price of a coffee. At $6.99 a month the value is genuinely hard to argue with.
Pick KennelBoss when this is your problem.
This is the price comparison where we lose and should say so: KennelBoss is roughly seven times the cost of Breeder Cloud Pro Standard. What you get for the difference is a marketplace that lists puppies, video calls before a stranger commits four figures, and a balance that is held until the hand-off is confirmed. If none of those three change anything for you, the cheaper product is the right product.
The short version: KennelBoss exists to market your litters, book the video chat, and collect the $500 reservation deposit that takes the puppy off the market. You handle the remaining balance at pickup, and it is held until you confirm the hand-off. That is the job — see litter marketing, buyer video calls and payment protection.
Breeder Cloud Pro is $6.99 and KennelBoss is $49.99. Why?+
Because they are not the same kind of product. Breeder Cloud Pro is record-keeping with a buyer portal attached. KennelBoss is a sales channel: your litters listed where buyers search, video calls booked, a $500 reservation deposit collected, and the balance held until you confirm the hand-off. If you do not need a sales channel, you should not pay for one.
Does Breeder Cloud Pro have a marketplace?+
It has a breeder directory — buyers can browse kennels from its site. That is real discovery and more than most of this category offers. It is not a puppy marketplace: a buyer looking for an eight-week-old of a particular breed, available in November, is not searching a list of kennels.
Does Breeder Cloud Pro handle payments?+
Yes, through Payarc, with invoices and payments reaching the buyer in the Pet Portal. What it does not do is hold the balance. In KennelBoss the deposit settles to you straight away and the balance is held until the buyer confirms they have the puppy, which is what makes a stranger comfortable paying in full before they have met you.
I breed cats as well as dogs. Should I use Breeder Cloud Pro?+
Probably, for the cats. Breeder Cloud Pro covers six species in one account and KennelBoss is built for dogs. That is a real advantage and we are not going to pretend otherwise.

Software is cheap. An empty spot in a litter is not.
List the litter where buyers are looking, meet them on video, and take the deposit that holds the puppy.
