Ready to leave ESS?
Brynlock is independent.
Brynlock is a self-storage management platform for operators leaving Easy Storage Solutions after its acquisition by Storable. It has no unit cap, includes gate access, bulk SMS, and QuickBooks sync at no extra charge, and imports an ESS CSV export of units, tenants, and leases in about an hour.
Since Storable acquired Easy Storage Solutions, operators report declining support, new restrictions, and the same 200-unit ceiling. Brynlock is independently owned, scales without limits, and includes everything ESS charges extra for.

Common questions
What happened to Easy Storage Solutions customer service?
Multiple Capterra reviews cite a dramatic decline in customer service following Storable's acquisition of Easy Storage Solutions. Operators report 'new restrictions' limiting what support staff can resolve, and wait times that did not exist before the acquisition.
How do I migrate from Easy Storage Solutions to Brynlock?
Export your data from ESS as a CSV. Sign up for Brynlock, and use the built-in Import Data tool to upload your CSV. The column mapper matches ESS headings to units, tenants, and leases, and you confirm the mapping before anything is written. There is no manual data entry, and the import itself takes about an hour.
Is Brynlock affiliated with Storable?
No. Brynlock is independently owned and has no affiliation with Storable, SiteLink, Storable Edge (formerly storEDGE), or any Storable-owned product.
Does Brynlock have a 200-unit limit like ESS?
No. Brynlock serves facilities from 50 to 3,000+ units on the same platform. There is no unit ceiling; pricing scales with your portfolio.
What does a 150-unit facility pay switching from Easy Storage Solutions to Brynlock?
A 150-unit facility pays an estimated $340+/mo on Easy Storage Solutions once the per-location base, gate integration add-on, SMS, QuickBooks sync, and processor markup are added up. The same facility pays $75/mo on Brynlock: 150 units at $0.50/unit, with gate access, bulk SMS, QuickBooks sync, and Stripe at-cost processing already included. That is over $265/mo, or roughly $3,180/year, back in the operator's pocket.
How long does switching take?
The import itself takes about an hour. Export a CSV from ESS, sign up for Brynlock, and upload it through the Import Data tool.
