Self-hosted software for builders & product teams
The infrastructure behind this very store: sell downloads with license keys, run a catalog as your own multi-tenant SaaS, or run your product's public roadmap. Every tool below is a one-time purchase — no subscriptions, and your data lives on your own server.
Self-hosted without the assembly
The other answer to “self-hosted” is a repository: clone it, read the compose file, provision a database, wire up mail, then keep it patched yourself. That is a fair answer when running infrastructure is already your job, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise. Everything on this page is the other kind — all 3 of them. Each is bought once, the full PHP source is in the download, and the web installer finishes on ordinary shared hosting in about two minutes. No Composer, no Node, no build step, nothing to compile, and nothing that phones home.
Deliora — Licence-Key Delivery for Digital Downloads (PHP + MySQL, Self-Hosted)
Self-hosted licence-key delivery for people selling digital downloads: keys with per-domain activation limits, and download links that expire, served from files kept outside the web root.
SaaS Kit — Multi-Tenant Control Plane for PHP Apps
Turn any single-tenant PHP app into a multi-tenant SaaS with its own database per tenant.
Votera — Self-Hosted Feedback Board, Roadmap & Changelog (PHP + MySQL)
Your own feedback board, public roadmap, and changelog — unlimited voters, no per-user monthly bill.
Year one, rented
- Canny — $1,188.00 in year one at $99.00/month (their own page, read 2026-09-03; replaced by Votera)
- Podia — $588.00 in year one at $49.00/month (their own page, read 2026-09-03; replaced by Deliora)
Every tool on this page is one payment; the figures above are the vendors' own published monthly prices multiplied by twelve, nothing else.
Replacing what you rent now
Read before you buy
The operator runs the catalogue; Lemon Squeezy, LLC is the merchant and seller of record for the payment. What that arrangement changes for a buyer, what it changes for a vendor selling downloads, and the clause that answers what happens if a vendor stops publishing.
Anthropic's merchant-agent blueprint stages every write for a person to approve, and puts the safety in code rather than in the prompt. That is the right pattern, and it is a good test to hold any "AI for your business" tool against.
Anthropic published the blueprint for shopping agents on 2 September 2026. Here is what such an agent asks a storefront for, which of those questions a small store can already answer, and the honest limit: being readable is not the same as being chosen.
One search, two readers: someone who wants a PHP business app to install once, and someone who wants to turn their own PHP app into ten customers' service. Clockora answers the first, SaaS Kit the second, and the four limits SaaS Kit prints above its price decide who should not buy.
The limitation-smash release: your tools now write to the people they serve — client emails through your own SMTP, calendar feeds, attachments, export presets — every one of them off until you switch it on.
The complete, honest guide to the hosted tier: what we run for you, what stays yours at every moment, the 12-month license promise, and when self-hosting is still the better call.
