A classic small-team-versus-scale decision. UpKeep gets field technicians logging work orders from their phones this week; Fiix gives reliability engineers a hundred reports and AI predictions after a proper implementation. The mistake in both directions is buying for the operation you wish you ran rather than the one you do.

| UpKeep | Fiix | |
|---|---|---|
| Starting price | $24/user/mo | Free tier; Basic $45/user/mo |
| Time to first value | Days | Weeks to months |
| Mobile app | Excellent — mobile-first heritage | Limited vs desktop |
| Reporting | Basic on lower tiers | 100+ reports — deepest in class |
| Predictive maintenance | Sensor add-ons available | AI-powered (Fiix Foresight) |
| Manufacturing integrations | General-purpose | Strong — Rockwell ecosystem |
| Compliance tracking | Higher tiers | Professional and up |
| Best-fit team size | Small to mid field teams | Mid to enterprise manufacturing |
UpKeep-or-Fiix usually means you're weighing adoption speed against analytical depth. The layer both charge extra for — compliance tracking, audit trails, asset-level history — is included on every AssetOS plan from $17/user/mo, alongside MTTR/OEE dashboards that don't need a reliability engineer to read. Rollouts run days, not quarters, and migration from either platform is done for you, free on annual plans.
UpKeep, almost always — the mobile-first design and fast onboarding fit teams of five to fifty. Fiix's value concentrates in operations big enough to staff the analytics it produces. A small team on Fiix typically uses a fraction of what it pays for.
Fiix's free tier is a genuine starting point for very small teams, where UpKeep starts at $24/user/mo. But the free tier's limits bind quickly, and Fiix's paid tiers start higher ($45) than UpKeep's. Free-tier economics rarely survive contact with a growing operation — compare at the tier you'll actually run.
Both run solid PM engines at their mid tiers. The difference is the input: UpKeep leans on time-based schedules managed simply; Fiix adds meter-driven and condition-driven triggers with more configuration. Match to how sophisticated your PM program genuinely is today.
Both gate compliance features to higher tiers, and neither is compliance-first by design. Operations centred on statutory inspections and audit evidence — fleets, facilities, regulated industries — should weigh platforms where compliance scheduling and audit trails ship on every plan, like AssetOS.
