The self-hosted Hike POS alternative
Vendra — Self-hosted POS & inventory engineered so overselling is impossible. Own it once, run it on your own server, and stop paying Hike POS every month.
Stop renting Hike POS
1 month of Hike POS equals this one-time price.
Assumption: The billed-monthly Essential price for a single outlet; the annual rate sits beside it on the page and is quoted so it is not mistaken for the monthly one. A second outlet requires the Plus tier. Vendra is one payment for the shop.
How Hike POS pricing grows with you
Hike meters by OUTLET: one outlet on Essential, more outlets on Plus at nearly double, and enterprise on request.

What Hike POS does that we don't
Hike runs multi-outlet retail from one hosted account and sells matching hardware with in-person payment processing.

Who should stay with Hike POS
Stay with Hike if you run more than one outlet and want hosted stock sync between them with in-person card processing from the same vendor. Vendra is one shop, one server, no card processing. Full honest limitations are on the product page.
Why owning beats renting Hike POS
- One payment. No monthly, per-seat, or per-location fees — the license is perpetual.
- Your data stays on your server. It never lives in Hike POS'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 Vendra vs Hike POS comparison.
