The self-hosted Pleo alternative

Cashora: Self-hosted petty cash ledger software for the cash box you already keep: an imprest float, categorized 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.

Own Cashora for $59 Try the live demo

Stop renting Pleo.

Pleo Per user, in pounds: Start £8/user/month, monthly billing only; Build £14/user/month with the 'Billed yearly' switch off, £12 with it on; Optimise £18 off, £16 on (Build and Optimise 3 users minimum). Scale from £249/month, Lead from £499/month; Enterprise by call, no price Cashora is $59 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 by a pricing tier.

It keeps working if the vendor doesn't

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 Cashora vs renting comparison.

Questions about moving off Pleo.

Does Cashora move money?

No — it records cash movements only. No cards, no bank connections, no payment processing of any kind. It is a ledger, which is why it has zero payment/PCI surface.

How is the math kept exact?

All amounts are stored as integer cents and balances are summed in PHP, never in floating point — so the running balance and the month-end report always reconcile to the cent.

Can I run more than one cash box?

Yes — that's the core design. Each box has its own custodian, float, and currency, with its own running balance and month-end report.

MySQL or SQLite?

Either — SQLite for a zero-config trial, MySQL/MariaDB for production on ordinary shared hosting.
