In short: yes — CalibraCore, our own tool. It is cloud calibration management software with a plan that is free forever for 20 instruments and 1 team member, at $0. It runs in any browser with nothing to install.
It is the simpler choice if you want to start without a sales call or a Windows install. It is not the deeper choice: Gaugify and IndySoft both carry tools CalibraCore does not, and those are listed above honestly. If you need them, buy them.
