The self-hosted Soldo 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 Soldo every month.
Stop renting Soldo.
Soldo Standard £27 per month + VAT (1 wallet, 3 users, 3 cards, up to 20 outbound bank transfers a month); Plus £39 per month + VAT (3 company wallets, 3 users, 3 cards, up to 30 transfers); Unlimited "Price on request"; 30-day free trial. One monthly price per plan, no annual state Cashora is $59 once, runs on your own server, and never invoices you again.
Soldo meters by wallets and cards rather than by spend: the plan you need is set by how many company wallets and physical cards you want, and the users are included in the plan.

Soldo includes its users in the plan instead of charging per head, and says so directly about the rest of the market.

Stay with Soldo if you want the cash replaced by cards — the bank rails, the card controls and the receipt capture that ride on them are a regulated payment service, and Cashora is not one. Cashora is the imprest ledger for the box you already keep: categorized disbursements and a balance that proves out at month-end, on your own server.
What Cashora deliberately doesn't do is on its product page.
Why owning beats renting Soldo.
No monthly, per-seat or per-location fees. The license is perpetual.
It never lives in Soldo's cloud.
Records and users are limited by your hosting, not by a pricing tier.
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.
