The self-hosted eMaint alternative
Fixora — Self-hosted CMMS with usage meters, parts inventory, and a maintenance calendar — an open alternative to MaintainX, bought once for $129. Own it once, run it on your own server, and stop paying eMaint every month.
eMaint No public price — quote-gated: Professional (3 user minimum) and Enterprise (5 user minimum), "Book a demo" Fixora is $129.00 once, runs on your own server, and never invoices you again.

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. Full honest limitations are on the 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 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 Fixora vs eMaint comparison.
