The self-hosted Pleo alternative
Cashora — Self-hosted petty cash ledger software for the cash box you already keep: an imprest float, categorised disbursements, and a balance that proves out at month-end. Own it once, run it on your own server, and stop paying Pleo every month.
Pleo Essential GBP 45/month billed monthly (GBP 39/month billed yearly), 3 users included, GBP 11 per additional user per month; Starter GBP 9.50/month on yearly billing; Business "From GBP 249 per month" Cashora is $59.00 once, runs on your own server, and never invoices you again.
Why owning beats renting Pleo
- One payment. No monthly, per-seat, or per-location fees — the license is perpetual.
- Your data stays on your server. It never lives in Pleo'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 Cashora vs Pleo comparison.
