The self-hosted Waitwhile alternative

Tokora — Queue & Token Display System (PHP + MySQL, Self-Hosted) — 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 Waitwhile every month.

Waitwhile Free (1 location, 50 visits/month); paid tiers $31/month and $55/month

Why owning beats renting Waitwhile

  • One payment. No monthly, per-seat, or per-location fees — the license is perpetual.
  • Your data stays on your server. It never lives in Waitwhile'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 — Queue & Token Display System (PHP + MySQL, Self-Hosted) vs Waitwhile comparison.
