The short version

  • Only Felt has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: AssetWorks pricing is entirely unpublished and reportedly often includes ancillary fees beyond the headline licence or subscription cost, making total cost of ownership hard to estimate before a formal quote.; Felt felt publishes no prices for Professional or Enterprise, so buyers cannot compare against ArcGIS Online or QGIS with hosting without entering a sales process
  • They diverge on capability: AssetWorks covers Fleet lifecycle tracking, Felt covers Real-time collaboration.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

AssetWorks

  • Pricing is entirely unpublished and reportedly often includes ancillary fees beyond the headline licence or subscription cost, making total cost of ownership hard to estimate before a formal quote.
  • Being owned by Constellation Software, known for acquiring and holding software businesses with limited reinvestment pressure, can mean slower feature innovation compared with venture-backed competitors racing to add AI and modern UX.
  • The platform is explicitly built and marketed around public-sector procurement and workflow needs, so a private commercial fleet may find it less tailored to their process than a fleet-first competitor.
  • Multi-year public-sector contracts reduce flexibility to switch providers even if requirements or the competitive landscape change during the term.
  • Choosing between perpetual licence and SaaS subscription is itself a significant decision with different long-term cost profiles, and neither option pricing is published to compare in advance.

Felt

  • Felt publishes no prices for Professional or Enterprise, so buyers cannot compare against ArcGIS Online or QGIS with hosting without entering a sales process
  • Paid tiers are annual contract only with no monthly option, which excludes consultancies that need a tool for a single short engagement and forces them to the free non-commercial tier they are not licensed to use for client work
  • The API, JavaScript SDK and live warehouse connections are enterprise-only, so a mid-sized team that wants programmatic access has to buy the top tier rather than pay for one capability
  • Analytical depth is limited: there is no meaningful geoprocessing, topology checking or model building, so Felt sits beside a real GIS rather than replacing one
  • The Professional tier caps data processing at 25 GB a month and map views at 100,000 a month, which are easy to exceed with raster imagery or a public-facing map, and the overage terms are not published either

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

AssetWorks: Who owns AssetWorks?

Volaris Group, a division of Constellation Software, which acquires and holds vertical-market software businesses long term rather than growing and reselling them.

Felt: What does Felt cost?

Felt does not publish prices for Professional or Enterprise. Personal is free but licensed for non-commercial use only.

AssetWorks: Is AssetWorks only for government fleets?

It is primarily built and marketed for public sector buyers, though private fleets can also use it; government-specific features like competitive group purchasing access are a key differentiator.

Felt: Can I pay monthly?

No. Paid plans are annual contracts. There is a 7 day trial of Professional.

AssetWorks: Perpetual licence or SaaS?

Both options exist, but neither is priced publicly, so a buyer needs a quote to compare the two structures directly.

Felt: Do viewers cost anything?

No. Viewer access is unlimited on the paid plans, which is the main reason organisations with large map audiences choose it.

Felt: Is there a nonprofit discount?

Yes, 30 per cent for verified United States nonprofits, and free access for verified students and classrooms.
