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 costs what Inspectora costs once.
Buy onceHow we counted: Stored at the vendor's OWN five-user minimum on Professional ($43 x 5 = $215/month), not the three-seat basis the other rows use, because Fulcrum will not sell fewer than five. Re-read 2026-09-26: the cards now render prices, and Elite's card reads $55 while the structured data still says 39; the $39 recorded on 2026-09-03 came from that data. Both are quoted rather than reconciled. Inspectora is $79 once, for however many people walk the round.
Fulcrum meters per user license per month on an annual commitment AND enforces a floor of five licenses, so a three-person team buys five.

Fulcrum is a field-data platform around the inspection: offline capture, a drag-and-drop form builder, geospatial capability and ArcGIS connectivity.
“"unittext":"user license per month, billed annually"”, their own page
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.
What Inspectora deliberately doesn't do is on its product page.
Why owning beats renting Fulcrum.
No monthly, per-seat or per-location fees. The license is perpetual.
It never lives in Fulcrum's cloud.
Records and users are limited by your hosting, not by a pricing tier.
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 Inspectora vs renting comparison.
Questions about moving off Fulcrum.
Is this a CMMS?
Does it perform or certify inspections?
Can inspectors log in and file their own results?
If I change an interval, do past records change?
