The self-hosted Fiix 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 Fiix every month.

$129 once · self-hosted · your data on your server

1 month of Fiix costs what Fixora costs once.

Buy once

How we counted: Per-user pricing - calculator assumes 3 users x $45 = $135/mo on Basic. Honest note: a 1-3 person shop should compare against Fiix Free first; the paid figure applies once the free tier's limits are outgrown. Fixora is one payment either way, with your data in your own database.

How Fiix pricing grows

Fiix licenses by named user login, so adding each technician, admin, or manager increases the monthly bill.

“A user is any named person who logs into Fiix. We recommend that each technician, admin, or manager have their own user license.”, their own page, read 2026-08-11

What Fiix does that we don't

Fiix offers a permanently free tier for creating work orders, preventive maintenance tasks, and asset hierarchies, with no trial and no end date.

“Create work orders, manage preventive maintenance tasks, build asset hierarchies, and more for free—no trials, no end date.”, their own page

Who should stay with Fiix

If you need a built-in purchasing / purchase-order module, stay with Fiix — Fixora has no purchasing module, and stock is adjusted by hand or by work-order consumption.

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

Why owning beats renting Fiix.

One payment

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

Your data stays on your server

It never lives in Fiix'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 Fiix.

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.
