The self-hosted FMX alternative
Fixora — 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 FMX every month.
FMX No public price — custom quote, priced on "Number of users" and "Number of features and custom workflows enabled" Fixora is $129.00 once, runs on your own server, and never invoices you again.
How FMX pricing grows with you
FMX meters by USER COUNT and by the features switched on, quoted per organisation.

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. Full honest limitations are on the 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 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 vs FMX comparison.
