The self-hosted Fulcrum alternative
Inspectora — Self-hosted inspection register: what is due, what is overdue, and what was last done to it — every due date computed from the last inspection, never stored. Own it once, run it on your own server, and stop paying Fulcrum every month.
Stop renting Fulcrum
1 month of Fulcrum equals this one-time price.
Assumption: Stored at the vendor's OWN minimum of five users ($43 x 5 = $215/month), not the three-seat basis the other rows on this product use, because Fulcrum will not sell fewer than five. Their structured data prices Elite ($39) below Professional ($43); that is what it says and it is quoted rather than reconciled. Inspectora is $79 once, for however many people walk the round.
How Fulcrum pricing grows with you
Fulcrum meters per user licence per month on an annual commitment AND enforces a floor of five licences, so a three-person team buys five.

What Fulcrum does that we don't
Fulcrum is a field-data platform around the inspection: offline capture, a drag-and-drop form builder, geospatial capability and ArcGIS connectivity.

Who should stay with Fulcrum
Stay with Fulcrum if you need offline mobile capture, custom form building and GIS. Inspectora is the register, not the clipboard: what is due, what is overdue, and what was last done to it, with every due date computed from the last inspection rather than stored — single-tenant, on your own server. Full honest limitations are on the product page.
Why owning beats renting Fulcrum
- One payment. No monthly, per-seat, or per-location fees — the license is perpetual.
- Your data stays on your server. It never lives in Fulcrum'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 Inspectora vs Fulcrum comparison.
