The short answer
These products serve different industries, and that matters more than any feature comparison.
Goodshuffle Pro is business management software for event rental companies, and its own site describes managing the business from quote request to repeat client. The inventory it illustrates is party rental: chairs, tents, linens, tables, furniture and decor.
Flightcase is for AV and live event production: audio, lighting, video, staging and the crew who run it. If your catalog is serialized electronics that go out with technicians, that difference decides the purchase before anything else does.
Why the vertical decides this one
Party rental and AV production look similar from a distance. Both reserve stock against dates, both pull and return, both invoice. The operational detail diverges quickly.
Party rental is dominated by counted quantities, delivery windows, damage waivers and turnaround between weekend events. AV production is dominated by serialized units, technical prep, crew calls, subrentals when you are short, and a client who approves a scope that keeps changing.
Software built for one is not usually a good fit for the other, and a comparison that pretends otherwise is not helping you buy.
