Verdict
OpenRepairPOS is free forever. No trial that ends, no paid plan to upgrade to, no per-user fees. Install it once and every feature is yours, permanently.
Why it's free forever
- MIT license. OpenRepairPOS is open source under the MIT license. The copy you install is yours to use, change and keep, at no cost, permanently.
- No paid version. There is one version of OpenRepairPOS, and it has every feature. Nothing is locked behind a plan.
- Free hosting in your own account. One click deploys it to your own Cloudflare account, and Cloudflare's free Workers plan covers a typical repair shop (100,000 requests a day).
- No ads, no upsells, no data collection. OpenRepairPOS doesn't even know who uses it: no sign-up, no tracking, not even an email address.

- Inventory, serial tracking, stock counts, CSV import and purchase orders
