Zugo vs. Roo

Choosing the Right Marketplace: Zugo vs. Roo

Roo has built an impressive network that has helped modernize how shifts are found. For many, it is a go-to for high-volume shift browsing. Zugo was founded to take the marketplace model a step further by focusing on economic transparency.

While many marketplaces operate on a commission-based structure, Zugo utilizes a credit-based system. This allows the veterinarian to keep 100% of their set rate and the hospital to avoid variable markups. We believe that when the middleman fee is removed, it fosters a stronger, more sustainable relationship between the doctor and the clinic.
