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

Hike POS — rented
Essential $69 USD/month billed monthly ($59/month billed annually), single outlet; Plus $119 billed monthly ($99 annually), multiple outlets; Enterprise "Call us" [1]
billed every month, forever · your data in their cloud
Vendra — yours
$59.00
one-time · self-hosted · your data, your server
1 month of Hike POS equals this one-time price.
Buy once

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.
