The self-hosted Skiplino alternative
Tokora — Self-hosted queue & token display — issue numbers, call them to counters, run the waiting-room board. Own it once, run it on your own server, and stop paying Skiplino every month.
Stop renting Skiplino
1 month of Skiplino equals this one-time price.
Assumption: The queue-management entry price per location on yearly billing, the only period the page shows. Tokora is one payment for the location.

What Skiplino does that we don't
Skiplino is an enterprise queue platform with appointment booking, virtual branches and multi-region deployments.

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 counter, on your own server. Full honest limitations are on the 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 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 Tokora vs Skiplino comparison.
