The self-hosted FMX 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 FMX every month.

Own Fixora for $129 Try the live demo

Stop renting FMX.

FMX No public price — custom quote, priced on "Number of users" and "Number of features and custom workflows enabled" Fixora is $129 once, runs on your own server, and never invoices you again.

How FMX pricing grows

FMX meters by USER COUNT and by the features switched on, quoted per organization.

What FMX does that we don't

FMX covers facilities beyond maintenance — space, events, transport — with special pricing for public K-12 schools.

Who should stay with FMX

Stay with FMX if you run a school district or a facilities department that needs event, space and transport scheduling in one hosted system. Fixora is maintenance only, on your own server.

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

Why owning beats renting FMX.

One payment

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

Your data stays on your server

It never lives in FMX'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 FMX.

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.
Better together
