Ownware sells 49 self-hosted business tools — invoicing, scheduling, compliance registers, field service, visitor logs — each bought once for $59–249 instead of rented monthly. It runs on your own PHP 8.1+ server, or theirs from $12/mo, and each tool documents its own honest limitations. Its pricing page compares an example basket of eight rented equivalents at $4,872/year against $692 to own the same eight outright.
What holds up
- +One-time price per tool ($59–249) instead of a recurring subscription per tool
- +Self-hosted on your own server — your data doesn't sit on a vendor's infrastructure
- +Compliance tools compute due dates live from source records instead of storing stale values
- +Cites competitor prices with dates on its own savings calculator, rather than a vague claim
Mind the limits
- −Self-hosting means you run the server yourself — optional hosting starts at $12/mo if you'd rather not
- −49 tools is a lot to evaluate, even with the 13 suites that bundle them by job
