Assetora vs renting the software.
A fixed-asset register with depreciation to the exact cent and book value as of any date.
Competitor prices on this page read between 2026-09-03 and 2026-10-11, each row dated, each one read on the vendor's own page and linked in Sources.
The subscription math.
1 month of EZOfficeInventory costs what Assetora costs once.
The fine print
How their pricing grows. EZOfficeInventory meters by ITEM: the plan prices are quoted against a fixed asset count, so growing the register is what raises the bill.
“essential for small teams getting started $63.55/month based on 300 items” Read 2026-09-03.
Who should stay with EZOfficeInventory. Stay with EZOfficeInventory if you need barcode workflows, work orders and mobile scanning across teams. Assetora is the accountant's half of the problem: a fixed-asset register that depreciates to the cent and answers "what was this worth on that date", single-tenant on your own server.
How we counted. The entry plan, billed yearly, at the vendor's own default basis of 500 items — their number, not a portfolio size of ours (re-read 2026-10-08). Register more assets and the price moves; that is the whole mechanism. Assetora is $59 once for unlimited assets, with depreciation to the exact cent and book value as of any date.
4 months of AssetTiger costs what Assetora costs once.
The fine print
How their pricing grows. AssetTiger prices by how many assets are tracked rather than by user count, with every paid tier including unlimited users.
“Pay for assets, not seats. Every paid plan includes unlimited users.” Read 2026-08-11.
Who should stay with AssetTiger. 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.
How 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.
Work out your own numbers.
The rented figures use the cited plan price above; per-seat plans scale by the seat count from that same cited price. This is arithmetic, not a quote.

Why owning beats renting here.
No per-month, per-seat or per-location fees: the license does not expire.
Your data sits on a server you choose; customer records are not held in a vendor's cloud unless you put them there.
Records, users and usage are limited by your hosting, not by a pricing tier.
It keeps working if the vendor doesn't: no one can switch your copy off, and keeping it up to date is in your hands.
The fair trade-offs: you host it, you back it up, and updates are yours to apply. The product page lists what Assetora deliberately doesn't do.
