The self-hosted Tradogram 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 Tradogram every month.
Stop renting Tradogram
1 month of Tradogram equals this one-time price.
Assumption: The month-to-month Essentials price for the first user; every additional user carries a fee the page names but does not price, and the two upper tiers are quoted. Approva is one payment for the whole approval chain.
How Tradogram pricing grows with you
Tradogram meters by USER on top of a base plan, and quotes the tiers most teams need.

What Tradogram does that we don't
Tradogram covers the wider procure-to-pay cycle: supplier management, AP invoices, sourcing, budgets.

Who should stay with Tradogram
Stay with Tradogram if you need procure-to-pay — sourcing, supplier scorecards, AP matching — on a hosted platform. Approva is the request-to-approval-to-PO step, on your own server, and stops there on purpose. Full honest limitations are on the product page.
Why owning beats renting Tradogram
- One payment. No monthly, per-seat, or per-location fees — the license is perpetual.
- Your data stays on your server. It never lives in Tradogram'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 Tradogram comparison.
