# Free placement vs buying a vending machine

Updated: September 19, 2026

**Short answer:** With Monterrey Vending's free placement, your company doesn't buy or rent the machine: we install, restock and maintain it at no cost. If you buy a machine, your company pays for the equipment and handles restocking and maintenance.
