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

Erply — rented
Giftshop & Grocery $59/store/month month-to-month ($49/store annually) with 1 user and 1 POS terminal; Multichannel $199/store ($179 annually); NetSuite "From $1800"; Franchise & Chain "From $3500" [1]

Vendra — yours

one-time · self-hosted · your data, your server
1 month of Erply equals this one-time price.
Buy once

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.
