Stop renting AssetTiger.
Assetora4 months of AssetTiger costs what Assetora costs once.
Buy onceHow we counted: The lowest published price: Basic, 500 assets, $220 a year billed yearly, about $18.33 a month ($20 month to month; re-read 2026-10-11). Per-asset rather than per-user, but a recurring bill at every volume: the free period is a 30-day trial up to 250 assets (read 2026-09-24). Assetora is bought once.
AssetTiger prices by how many assets are tracked rather than by user count, with every paid tier including unlimited users.

AssetTiger ships a full-featured iOS and Android app for scanning, checkout, and auditing assets from a phone.
“Full-featured mobile app. Scan, check-out, audit, and manage inventory from the phone you already have.”, their own page
If you need phone-app scanning, check-out to people and maintenance schedules, stay with AssetTiger — Assetora is the accountant's register, with roles, two-factor sign-in and optional single sign-on, one business per installation.
What Assetora deliberately doesn't do is on its product page.
Why owning beats renting AssetTiger.
No monthly, per-seat or per-location fees. The license is perpetual.
It never lives in AssetTiger's cloud.
Records and users are limited by your hosting, not by a pricing tier.
Self-hosted software can't be sunset or repriced out from under you.
The fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up and apply updates yourself. See the product page for its limits, and the full Assetora vs renting comparison.
