Hosted by us
We run the servers, updates and backups; your data sits in its own database.
On your own server
Inventory software on your own server — at the same price as hosted
MasterQ runs on a server at your shop, on your local network, or hosted by us — same price, and you can switch later. Fully offline sites run on a license file. Your business data sits in its own database.

Where it runs
Three ways to run the same MasterQ
Wherever it runs, it's the same system at the same price. Move later and your whole database moves with you.
On your server
Day-to-day work runs on your local network; the system checks in with us online every few days.
Fully offline
Runs on a license file; import a renewal before it expires. Contact us to set it up.
Price and contract
A subscription, with promises in the contract
On-premise and hosted cost the same, priced by edition and users, and the prices are published.
Price lock
Your list price is locked for 3 years, then rises by no more than 5% a year.
Read-only, never locked out
Stop paying and the system turns read-only; you can still sign in, look things up and export.
Your data is yours
Export everything any time; our source code, held on GitHub, is released to you if we ever stop supporting MasterQ.
FAQ
Common questions
Does it work without internet?
On your own server, day-to-day work runs on your local network. Fully offline sites run on a license file.
Do we buy it outright?
No. MasterQ is a subscription, at the same price on-premise or hosted. If you stop paying, it turns read-only rather than locking your data.
Can we move to hosting later?
Yes. Your whole database moves over, at the same price.
