Run it yourself.
Or let an AI agent run it.

Celerp's full REST API is free and local - point Claude, GPT, or your own scripts at it and automate anything: draft purchase orders when stock runs low, reconcile invoices, and pull plain-language reports on your margins. Don't want to worry about building it? The in-app AI assistant is part of Celerp Connect.

  • Full REST API - every operation available programmatically
  • Works with Claude, GPT-4, and any agent that can call HTTP endpoints
  • No special integration needed - it's just a local API
  • Automate reordering, reconciliation, and reporting

How Celerp compares

The same features. $0 instead of $55–$99/mo. The only things you give up are the monthly invoice and the vendor's control over your data.

Still paying SAP to hold your
business hostage?

A shift is happening. Enterprises that spent years locked into SAP and Navision are realizing the system that was supposed to run their business is running them instead. Celerp is source-available, AI-native, and runs on infrastructure you control - forever. No implementation consultants. No perpetual license fees. No data held hostage in proprietary formats.

Not just for you.
Your whole office.

Install Celerp on any machine in your network - a spare laptop, an old desktop, a $50 mini PC. Everyone on your office Wi-Fi opens their browser and it just works. No app install on each computer. No extra licenses to buy.

  • Unlimited users and companies. Add your whole team at no extra cost, with Connect available when you need concurrent team access.
  • Roles and permissions built in. Staff see only what they need. Owner access, limited warehouse access, read-only - you control it.
  • One machine runs it, everyone uses it. Sales log invoices from their desks. Warehouse staff check stock from theirs. One shared source of truth.

What's the catch?

There isn't one. Here's exactly how this works and how we make money.

💾

Your data stays on your machine

Celerp runs on your hardware with a bundled database. Nothing leaves your machine unless you explicitly enable encrypted backup or connector sync.

🚫

No lock-in, ever

Export everything as CSV or JSON at any time. Cancel any Connect plan and your desktop app keeps working - forever, with no data held hostage.

Zero friction to start

Download and run. No email address, no registration, no onboarding call. You're in your first session within 2 minutes of downloading.

💰

How we make money

The desktop app is free. We charge for optional Connect features: connector sync (Shopify, QuickBooks, Xero), encrypted backups, and AI. That's it.

The desktop app is free. Connect features - connector sync, encrypted backup, and AI - unlock inside the app when you need them.

Start for free in under 2 minutes.

Download Celerp, install it, and you're running. No account. No card. No 14-day trial that expires.

If you outgrow the free version, Connect features start at $29/mo - and your data stays yours either way.
