Fixora vs renting the software.
Preventive maintenance triggered by engine hours, distance or the calendar, whichever comes first, plus work orders.
Competitor prices on this page read between 2026-09-03 and 2026-09-26, each row dated, each one read on the vendor's own page and linked in Sources.
The subscription math.
1 month of Fiix costs what Fixora costs once.
The fine print
How their pricing grows. Fiix licenses by named user login, so adding each technician, admin, or manager increases the monthly bill.
“A user is any named person who logs into Fiix. We recommend that each technician, admin, or manager have their own user license.” Read 2026-08-11.
Who should stay with Fiix. If you need a built-in purchasing / purchase-order module, stay with Fiix — Fixora has no purchasing module, and stock is adjusted by hand or by work-order consumption.
How we counted. Per-user pricing - calculator assumes 3 users x $45 = $135/mo on Basic. Honest note: a 1-3 person shop should compare against Fiix Free first; the paid figure applies once the free tier's limits are outgrown. Fixora is one payment either way, with your data in your own database.
1 month of MaintainX costs what Fixora costs once.
The fine print
How their pricing grows. MaintainX bills per named app user with a unique login, so the price scales up as more staff need accounts.
“A user is defined as someone who uses the MaintainX app and has a unique login. Requester accounts are free.” Read 2026-09-26.
Who should stay with MaintainX. If you need IoT sensor integrations for automatic meter and telematics data, stay with MaintainX — Fixora meter readings are entered manually, with no IoT / telematics auto-ingest.
How we counted. Per-user - calculator assumes 3 users x $65 = $195/mo on Premium annual, the first MaintainX tier that lists meter-based maintenance and parts inventory, which Fixora's comparison needs; Essential at $20 lists neither. The same page is read for Inspectora's comparison, which stores Essential instead; both rows carry the same full ladder and the same read date (2026-09-26). A free Basic tier exists.
1 month of UpKeep costs what Fixora costs once.
The fine print
How their pricing grows. UpKeep bills per user per month on every published tier, so cost rises directly with headcount.
“$ 24 /user/mo ... $ 55 /user/mo” Read 2026-08-11.
Who should stay with UpKeep. If you need offline mobile access for work orders in the field, stay with UpKeep — Fixora's QR tags need a phone camera plus network access to your install, with no native offline mobile app.
How we counted. Per-user - calculator assumes 3 users x $55 = $165/mo on Premium, the first UpKeep tier that lists PM scheduling, checklists and parts (read 2026-09-24); Essential at $24 lists none of the three, and the page publishes no annual-billing alternative. Implementation is priced separately (read 2026-09-07: Training Only $500, Implementation & Training $1,500, Expanded Training $5,000).
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.
Also in this category.
“If your Order Form lists a plan not included here, please contact your Customer Success Manager for more details about such plans.”
“3 user minimum”
“priced based on the following: Number of users”
“tailored to your portfolio size, users, and deployment scope”
“Our agreements are no less than one year”
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 Fixora deliberately doesn't do.
