The subscription math.

Yours Fixora $129 once · self-hosted · your data on your server Buy once
Rented Fiix Basic $45 per user, per month (Professional $75/user/mo; free tier with limited users) [1]

1 month of Fiix costs what Fixora costs once.

What Fiix does that we don't. Fiix offers a permanently free tier for creating work orders, preventive maintenance tasks, and asset hierarchies, with no trial and no end date.
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.

Rented MaintainX Premium $65 per user/month billed annually ($75 billed monthly) — the first tier listing meter-based maintenance and parts inventory; Essential $20 per user/month billed annually ($25 monthly) lists neither; Basic $0 ("Free forever"); Enterprise by demo, no price; requester accounts are free [2]

1 month of MaintainX costs what Fixora costs once.

What MaintainX does that we don't. MaintainX offers a Basic plan described as free forever for small teams tracking work orders.
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.

Rented UpKeep Premium $55/user/mo — the first tier listing PM scheduling, custom checklists and parts & inventory management; Essential $24/user/mo lists none of the three; Professional & Enterprise quote-only [3]

1 month of UpKeep costs what Fixora costs once.

What UpKeep does that we don't. UpKeep provides round-the-clock phone, SMS, and chat support to its customers.
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.

Limble [4] No public price - quote-gated (verified); tiers named Standard, Premium+ and Enterprise Standard/Premium+/Enterprise tiers shown with no numbers; interactive calculator only. Re-read 2026-09-26, unchanged: three named tiers, each answering 'Calculate my price', and not one figure on the page. Both Limble rows (this one and Inspectora's) now cite the same URL, https://limble.com/pricing, where limble.com/pricing/ lands, with the same read date.
How their pricing grows. Limble routes non-standard plans through a sales Order Form and Customer Success Manager rather than a published price list.
“If your Order Form lists a plan not included here, please contact your Customer Success Manager for more details about such plans.”
What Limble does that we don't. Limble's Enterprise plan is built to run maintenance operations across multiple locations from one account, something Fixora's single-installation design does not offer.
If you need to manage maintenance operations across multiple locations from one account, stay where you are — Fixora does not do that: one site per installation, shared by your team with viewer, member and admin roles.
eMaint [5] No public price — quote-gated: Professional (3 user minimum) and Enterprise (5 user minimum), "Book a demo" eMaint publishes tiers and seat minimums but no number; every route ends in a demo booking. Fixora publishes its price and has no seat minimum.
How their pricing grows. eMaint is priced PER USER with a minimum of three seats, and the rate is disclosed only after a demo.
“3 user minimum”
What eMaint does that we don't. eMaint (Fluke) is an enterprise CMMS with condition monitoring and multi-site reporting behind it.
Stay with eMaint if you run multi-site maintenance with condition-monitoring sensors and want a vendor-managed enterprise platform. Fixora is the single-site CMMS you install yourself — work orders, meters, parts, the calendar — with no seats to count.
FMX [6] No public price — custom quote, priced on "Number of users" and "Number of features and custom workflows enabled" FMX states what the price depends on — users and features — and not what it is. Fixora is one published price for the whole team.
How their pricing grows. FMX meters by USER COUNT and by the features switched on, quoted per organization.
“priced based on the following: Number of users”
What FMX does that we don't. FMX covers facilities beyond maintenance — space, events, transport — with special pricing for public K-12 schools.
Stay with FMX if you run a school district or a facilities department that needs event, space and transport scheduling in one hosted system. Fixora is maintenance only, on your own server.
Facilio [7] No public price — three tiers (Standard, Essential, Enterprise), "Request a custom quote"; priced on portfolio size, users and deployment scope Three named tiers, no figure on any of them; the page says the price follows portfolio size, users and scope. Fixora is one published price, one site, no scope negotiation.
How their pricing grows. Facilio meters by PORTFOLIO SIZE, USERS and DEPLOYMENT SCOPE, quoted per customer.
“tailored to your portfolio size, users, and deployment scope”
What Facilio does that we don't. Facilio is a property-operations platform: multi-site portfolios, building operations and refrigeration compliance under one vendor.
Stay with Facilio if you operate a portfolio of buildings with vendors, compliance regimes and building-systems integrations. Fixora is the maintenance desk for one site.
Hippo CMMS (Eptura) [8] No public price — Advanced and Power tiers, "Talk to us"; annual subscription, "Our agreements are no less than one year", priced on "the number of users supported" Hippo CMMS became Eptura Asset; the pricing page names two tiers, a one-year minimum term and per-user pricing, and no number. Fixora is one published price with no term.
How their pricing grows. Eptura Asset is priced PER USER on an ANNUAL contract with a one-year minimum, quoted per customer.
“Our agreements are no less than one year”
What Hippo CMMS (Eptura) does that we don't. Eptura Asset is enterprise asset management on Azure with downtime tracking and extensive integrations.
Stay with Eptura if you need enterprise asset management with integrations and a vendor-run cloud on a yearly contract. Fixora is the single-site CMMS you own outright.

Why owning beats renting here.

One payment

No per-month, per-seat or per-location fees: the license does not expire.

Your data

Your data sits on a server you choose; customer records are not held in a vendor's cloud unless you put them there.

No plan ceilings

Records, users and usage are limited by your hosting, not by a pricing tier.

If the vendor stops

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.
