The self-hosted Cheqroom alternative
Lendra — Log who has which laptop, tool, or camera checked out, and get automatic overdue flags on a live dashboard. Own it once, run it on your own server, and stop paying Cheqroom every month.
Stop renting Cheqroom
1 month of Cheqroom equals this one-time price.
Assumption: Assumes 1 admin (page warns minimum admin counts apply, so real cost is likely higher). Currency symbol not captured in the fetch - treat as USD pending spot-check.
How Cheqroom pricing grows with you
Cheqroom bills per-admin seats annually, and warns that a minimum administrator count applies, which can push real cost above the listed starting price.

What Cheqroom does that we don't
Cheqroom does not charge per regular user — every plan includes unlimited non-admin users.
“As many as you need. We offer unlimited users across all our plans.” — their own page
Who should stay with Cheqroom
If you need built-in barcode or QR scanning for equipment check-in and check-out, stay with Cheqroom — Lendra has no barcode/scanner hardware integration built in; asset tags are typed or searched instead. Full honest limitations are on the product page.
Why owning beats renting Cheqroom
- One payment. No monthly, per-seat, or per-location fees — the license is perpetual.
- Your data stays on your server. It never lives in Cheqroom's cloud.
- No plan ceilings. Records and users are limited by your hosting, not a pricing tier.
- It keeps working if the vendor doesn't. Self-hosted software can't be sunset or price-hiked out from under you.
Fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up, and apply updates yourself — see the product page for honest limitations, and the full Lendra vs Cheqroom comparison.
