The self-hosted KORONA POS alternative
Vendra: Self-hosted POS and inventory that will not sell below zero recorded stock, even when two tills sell the last unit at the same moment. Own it once, run it on your own server, and stop paying KORONA POS every month.
Stop renting KORONA POS.
1 month of KORONA POS costs what Vendra costs once.
Buy onceHow we counted: The entry tier per terminal per month; every extra till is another $59, and the food and invoicing modules add $10 per register each. Vendra has no per-terminal meter: one payment covers every till in the shop.
KORONA meters by TERMINAL: the price is per till per month, and modules stack per register on top.

KORONA is transparent and contract-free, and it scales to franchise and ticketed venues with dedicated modules.

Stay with KORONA if you run several tills, a franchise, or a ticketed venue and want a hosted vendor with those modules. Vendra is a one-till-or-many POS on your own server with no module bill.
What Vendra deliberately doesn't do is on its product page.
Why owning beats renting KORONA POS.
No monthly, per-seat or per-location fees. The license is perpetual.
It never lives in KORONA POS'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 Vendra vs renting comparison.
