The self-hosted Erply alternative
Vendra — Self-hosted POS & inventory engineered so overselling is impossible. Own it once, run it on your own server, and stop paying Erply every month.
Stop renting Erply
1 month of Erply equals this one-time price.
Assumption: The month-to-month entry plan per store, which includes exactly one user and one terminal — a second till or a second cashier moves the price. Vendra is one payment per site with no per-terminal meter.
How Erply pricing grows with you
Erply meters by STORE and then by TERMINAL and USER: the entry plan covers one of each, and chains are quoted from $1,800 and $3,500.

What Erply does that we don't
Erply scales to franchise and chain operations — 800+ locations, NetSuite integration, 900+ registers — which no single-site tool attempts.

Who should stay with Erply
Stay with Erply if you run a chain, need NetSuite or a franchise HQ module, or want hosted multi-warehouse inventory. Vendra is a single-shop POS with inventory on your own server. Full honest limitations are on the product page.
Why owning beats renting Erply
- One payment. No monthly, per-seat, or per-location fees — the license is perpetual.
- Your data stays on your server. It never lives in Erply'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 Vendra vs Erply comparison.
