The self-hosted Precoro alternative
Approva — Route purchase requests through amount-based approvals and issue numbered POs before the money is spent. Own it once, run it on your own server, and stop paying Precoro every month.
Stop renting Precoro
1 month of Precoro equals this one-time price.
Assumption: Platform-level pricing with an annual commitment.
How Precoro pricing grows with you
Precoro's published per-plan starting price is only a floor — any advanced configuration or custom workflow gets bumped to a sales-customized plan.
“We offer transparent, package-based pricing. If your business needs advanced configurations or custom workflows, our Sales Consultant will customize a plan to match your goals.” — their own page, read 2026-08-11
What Precoro does that we don't
Precoro includes a native mobile app for handling procurement on the go.

Who should stay with Precoro
If you need 3-way matching, punchout catalogs, a supplier portal, or actual vendor payment processing, stay with Precoro — Approva only issues POs, has no 3-way matching, and never pays vendors. Full honest limitations are on the product page.
Why owning beats renting Precoro
- One payment. No monthly, per-seat, or per-location fees — the license is perpetual.
- Your data stays on your server. It never lives in Precoro'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 Approva vs Precoro comparison.
