The self-hosted Fiix alternative
Fixora — Self-Hosted CMMS: Usage-Based PM, Parts Inventory, Work Orders — 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 Fiix every month.
Stop renting Fiix
1 month of Fiix equals this one-time price.
Assumption: 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 with you
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. Full honest limitations are on the 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 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 — Self-Hosted CMMS: Usage-Based PM, Parts Inventory, Work Orders vs Fiix comparison.
