1 month of Skiplino costs what Tokora costs once.

Buy once

How we counted: The queue-management entry price per location on yearly billing, the only period the page shows. Tokora is one payment for the location.

How Skiplino pricing grows

Skiplino meters PER LOCATION PER MONTH on a yearly commitment, with a separate ladder per product line.

What Skiplino does that we don't

Skiplino is an enterprise queue platform with appointment booking, virtual branches and multi-region deployments.

“99.98% uptime on Azure, with regular updates and responsive support.”, their own page
Who should stay with Skiplino

Stay with Skiplino if you run many branches and need virtual queues and appointments across them. Tokora is the take-a-number board for one location with as many counters as you staff, on your own server.

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

Why owning beats renting Skiplino.

One payment

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

Your data stays on your server

It never lives in Skiplino'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 Tokora vs renting comparison.

Questions about moving off Skiplino.

Do I need special hardware or a ticket printer?
No — the kiosk, the counter console, and the display board are all just web pages. Put the board on any spare screen or TV with a browser; visitors take a number on their own phone or a shared tablet.
How do the numbers reset?
Per service, automatically each day, computed on view — there is no cron job to schedule and nothing to reset by hand.
Does it store any patient or personal health data?
No health records and no payments. It keeps three things that can identify someone: the optional note, the mobile number a visitor adds for text alerts, and the IP address of the device that took the ticket (used for the kiosk's rate limit). An admin clears all three from tickets older than a chosen number of days under Data retention (90 by default). The note never appears on the public board.
MySQL or SQLite?
Either — SQLite for a zero-config trial, MySQL/MariaDB for production on ordinary shared hosting.
