The self-hosted eMaint alternative

Fixora: Self-hosted preventive maintenance for teams running machines, vehicles or plant: every PM triggers on engine hours, distance or the calendar — whichever comes first. Own it once, run it on your own server, and stop paying eMaint every month.

Own Fixora for $129 Try the live demo

Stop renting eMaint.

eMaint No public price — quote-gated: Professional (3 user minimum) and Enterprise (5 user minimum), "Book a demo" Fixora is $129 once, runs on your own server, and never invoices you again.

How eMaint pricing grows

eMaint is priced PER USER with a minimum of three seats, and the rate is disclosed only after a demo.

What eMaint does that we don't

eMaint (Fluke) is an enterprise CMMS with condition monitoring and multi-site reporting behind it.

Who should stay with eMaint

Stay with eMaint if you run multi-site maintenance with condition-monitoring sensors and want a vendor-managed enterprise platform. Fixora is the single-site CMMS you install yourself — work orders, meters, parts, the calendar — with no seats to count.

What Fixora deliberately doesn't do is on its product page.

Why owning beats renting eMaint.

One payment

No monthly, per-seat or per-location fees. The license is perpetual.

Your data stays on your server

It never lives in eMaint's cloud.

No plan ceilings

Records and users are limited by your hosting, not by a pricing tier.

It keeps working if the vendor doesn't

Self-hosted software can't be sunset or repriced out from under you.

The fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up and apply updates yourself. See the product page for its limits, and the full Fixora vs renting comparison.

Questions about moving off eMaint.

Is the math actually right?
That's the product. Next-due is leap-safe, timezone-aware date arithmetic plus a usage trigger compared against real meter readings; labor cost is integer cents rounded exactly once; stock consumption cannot go negative under concurrency. The offline test suite counted at the top of this page ships with the code.
Do I need a cron job for PM schedules?
No. Due status — calendar and usage — is computed live on every page view. Nothing to schedule, nothing to break silently.
Will this run on shared hosting?
Yes. PHP 8.1+ with PDO — present on virtually all cPanel/Plesk hosts. MySQL and SQLite are both supported, and a web installer sets it up in about two minutes.
I already run Fixora 1.0 — what happens on upgrade?
Upload the new files and refresh: the database upgrades itself in place on first boot. New tables and columns are added; existing data is never rewritten.
