The CMMS comparison
that doesn't lie to you.
We're a CMMS vendor writing about our competitors. That's usually bad news for honesty — so here's our commitment: every row cites a public source, every rating is on the same 1–10 scale, and when a competitor beats us we say so plainly. We lose some rows here. That's the point.
| Capability | AssetOS $20–55/seat/mo | UpKeep $24–55/seat/mo | Fiix $45–75/seat/mo | Limble Not disclosed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Core capability — WOs, PMs, assets, parts | ||||
Work-order workflow depth Custom statuses, approvals, required steps | 8 Configurable per asset type | 6 Basic, limited statuses | 9 Deep, enterprise-grade | 7 Configurable, no approvals |
PM scheduling — complex recurring rules Meter + date + usage triggers, compound conditions | 7 Meter + date, 5 condition max | 6 Date-based primarily | 10 Meter, date, usage, compound | 7 Meter + date |
| Where Fiix wins | Plain-spoken: If you run meter-based PM at industrial scale — compressor run-hours, forklift cycles, cumulative load — Fiix is genuinely better than us. We're building toward parity but we're not there yet. | |||
Parts inventory & reordering Multi-location stock, min-max, auto-PO | 9 Multi-site, min-max, auto-PO | 7 Single-location reliable | 9 ERP-integrated | 8 Good fundamentals |
| Mobile & offline — the field technician | ||||
Offline work-order completion Photos, parts, signatures with no signal | 9 Full offline, 30-day queue | 9 Full offline | 6 Partial — requires re-sync | 8 Full offline |
Mobile UX polish Measured by G2/Capterra mobile-only reviews | 8 Rebuilt 2025 — not yet rated | 9 Rated 4.7 / 5 | 7 Rated 4.0 / 5 | 8 Rated 4.6 / 5 |
| Where UpKeep wins | Plain-spoken: UpKeep's mobile app is the best in the category. We rebuilt ours in 2025 and it's genuinely great — but if 90% of what your team does is on a phone, UpKeep still edges us on polish. | |||
QR + barcode scan-to-log Open a WO from scanning the asset | 9 Native, per-asset QR | 9 Native | 8 Native | 9 Native |
| Implementation — time to first value | ||||
Median setup time Spreadsheet import to first logged work order | 10 3 hours | 7 1–2 weeks | 4 4–8 weeks (consultant-led) | 8 1 week |
Self-service onboarding No sales call required | 9 Yes — free trial, full product | 9 Yes — free tier + trial | 3 Sales-gated | 10 Yes — full free trial |
Data import tooling CSV mapping, deduplication, validation | 9 Guided importer + API | 6 CSV only | 7 Consultant-assisted | 8 Guided importer |
| Pricing & contract flexibility | ||||
Transparent pricing on public site Every tier priced before contact | 10 Yes — all tiers published | 9 Yes | 3 No — 'contact sales' | 3 No — not disclosed |
Free requester / operator seats People who submit but don't close work | 10 Unlimited, all plans | 6 Limited to 3 free | 3 Paid seat per user | 10 Unlimited |
Contract flexibility Monthly vs annual-only | 10 Monthly · cancel anytime | 7 Annual (Starter monthly) | 5 Annual — 3-year typical | 9 Monthly or annual |
| Reporting & analytics | ||||
Pre-built dashboards MTTR, MTBF, PM compliance, asset cost | 4 1 dashboard · 43 reports | 6 8 templates | 10 30+ templates | 7 12 templates |
| Where Fiix wins | Plain-spoken: Fiix, backed by Rockwell, has deeper analytics and ML-based failure prediction that we don't match yet. If Sankey cost-flow diagrams on a Tuesday matter to you, that's them. | |||
Custom report builder Drag fields, group, filter, export | 8 Yes — visual builder | 6 Limited | 10 Full SQL + builder | 8 Visual builder |
Export to PDF / Excel / API Audit-ready formats | 9 PDF, XLSX, CSV, API | 7 PDF, CSV | 10 All + Power BI | 8 PDF, XLSX, CSV |

ERP connectors SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Sage | 2 None native — REST API only | 5 NetSuite only | 10 SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Sage | 6 NetSuite, Sage |
Open API + webhook support REST, GraphQL, outbound webhooks | 10 REST + GraphQL + webhooks | 6 REST only | 8 REST + webhooks | 8 REST + webhooks |
Where AssetOS is not the right answer.
If you run 10,000+ assets across continents with deep SAP/MES integration needs, talk to Fiix. If you need the absolute simplest mobile-first app for a 5-person shop with zero PM complexity, UpKeep is probably a better fit. We're honest about the 20% of the market we don't serve well.
