The self-hosted SendOwl alternative

Deliora: Self-hosted license-key delivery for people selling digital downloads: keys with per-domain activation limits, and download links that expire, served from files kept outside the web root. Own it once, run it on your own server, and stop paying SendOwl every month.

3 months of SendOwl costs what Deliora costs once.

Buy once

How we counted: The month-to-month entry plan, which caps yearly sales at $10,000 — cross it and the plan steps up. Deliora has no sales cap.

How SendOwl pricing grows

SendOwl meters by SALES VOLUME: each plan caps orders and revenue per year, and the price steps up when you sell more.

What SendOwl does that we don't

SendOwl is hosted delivery with license keys, drip content and affiliates built in, with no per-sale fee.

Who should stay with SendOwl

Stay with SendOwl if you want a hosted delivery service with affiliates and drip built in and your volume fits a plan. Deliora is the self-hosted store with license keys and delivery; nothing caps how much you sell.

What Deliora deliberately doesn't do is on its product page.

Why owning beats renting SendOwl.

One payment

No monthly, per-seat or per-location fees. The license is perpetual.

Your data stays on your server

It never lives in SendOwl'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 Deliora vs renting comparison.

Questions about moving off SendOwl.

Where does the money actually flow?

Directly from your buyer to your Lemon Squeezy or Stripe account. Deliora never holds funds and never sees card numbers — it fulfills orders from the provider's webhook.

Are my product files safe?

Deliverables sit in a directory denied by the web server. The only path to them is a random token that expires, has a use cap, and is claimed with an atomic database update.

Will this run on shared hosting?

Yes. PHP 8.1+ with pdo and fileinfo, MySQL or SQLite, Apache mod_rewrite. The installer takes about two minutes.

Can my own apps verify licenses?

Yes — the license API's check and activate endpoints return validity, tier, and activations left. Activation is idempotent per domain, so reinstalling on the same site never burns a slot.
