Self-hosted rentals & property software
Rent posting and tenant portals, consignment-grade ledger math, maintenance work orders, permit tracking, and asset registers — for operators who keep the books at home. 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 5 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.
Rentara
Automatic rent posting, late fees, and a tenant self-service portal for the portfolio you already manage.
Consigna — Self-Hosted Consignment & Resale-Shop Manager
Self-hosted consignment shop software with penny-exact payouts — an open alternative to SimpleConsign.
Fixora — Usage-Based Preventive Maintenance Schedule (PHP + MySQL, Self-Hosted)
Self-hosted preventive maintenance for teams running machines, vehicles or plant: every PM triggers on engine hours, distance or the calendar — whichever comes first.
Permora — Permit & Inspection Tracker for Trades (PHP + MySQL, Self-Hosted)
Track permits and inspections across every job — exact date-math alerts, owned outright.
Assetora — Fixed-Asset & Depreciation Register (PHP + MySQL, Self-Hosted)
Self-hosted fixed-asset register — depreciation to the exact cent, book value as of any date.
Property Suite
Rental property management plus consignment-grade ledger math — for operators who track other people's money. — 2 of the tools on this page are in it.
Year one, rented
- SimpleConsign — $1,908.00 in year one at $159.00/month (their own page, read 2026-09-03; replaced by Consigna)

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
Rentara's own angle on property management software pricing: one licence, no unit meter, no renewal — the rent roll, automatic posting and late fees, the tenant link, owner statements, the API for your AI. And the four things it will not do, printed before the features.
The full cost of owning your property software: the licence, the hosting you probably already pay for, the install, backups, email, updates and your own time — priced honestly against the subscription meter, with the things a self-hosted tool does not do stated first.
Buildium, DoorLoop, TenantCloud, AppFolio and Hemlane priced from their own pages on the dates shown, next to a one-time licence. The three-year and five-year arithmetic, labelled as arithmetic, and the cases where the subscription is still the right answer.
ConsignCloud and SimpleConsign's published tiers, each with the date it was read; the per-location meter that changes the sum for a second shop; why an introductory rate is not a price; and the one-time licence beside them, including who should stay where they are.
Limble names three plans and prints no figures — read on 7 September 2026, every tier routes to a calculator. If the missing number is why you are looking, here is what a published one looks like.
What the Field-Service Suite bundles and why the five are five: Jobora for quotes, scheduling and costing; Fleetora for the van's expiries; Lendra for the kit; Fixora for the plant; Inspectora for what is due. Each product's refusals, the hand-offs, and the arithmetic beside buying them separately.
