The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Augury the per-machine annual fee never stops, so over a five to eight year horizon the total exceeds buying sensors and software outright and running the programme yourself.; Redlist no pricing is published by the vendor, and the four licence types have different capabilities, so the only way to size a budget is a quote and the widely repeated per-user figures come from review sites.
  • They diverge on capability: Augury covers Halo sensors, Redlist covers Lubrication routes.
  • 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.

Augury

  • The per-machine annual fee never stops, so over a five to eight year horizon the total exceeds buying sensors and software outright and running the programme yourself.
  • Coverage is aimed at standard rotating equipment; reciprocating compressors, very low-speed machinery and non-rotating assets are poorly served, so you still need a second monitoring approach.
  • Diagnoses depend on Augurys analysts, which means the quality of your programme is set by a vendor queue you do not control and turnaround is not something you can escalate internally.
  • The sensors and the analytics are one system, so leaving Augury means removing the hardware and starting again; there is no path to keep the sensors and change the software.
  • Pricing is unpublished and negotiated per fleet, so buyers have no benchmark and comparable plants can pay materially different per-machine rates.

Redlist

  • No pricing is published by the vendor, and the four licence types have different capabilities, so the only way to size a budget is a quote and the widely repeated per-user figures come from review sites.
  • Cost scales with licensed users, which is awkward for operations with large numbers of technicians who each need only to record a completed lubrication route.
  • Outside lubrication the CMMS is ordinary, so organisations without a lubrication-driven failure problem pay a specialist price for general functionality.
  • The customer base and support presence are North American, which affects response times, lubricant catalogue coverage and reference availability elsewhere.
  • The integration list is short compared with established CMMS platforms, so connecting to an ERP or a plant historian is likely to need custom API work.

Is Augury or Redlist better?
Neither clearly leads. Augury starts at On request and Redlist at On request, and user ratings are close enough to be indistinguishable. Choose on capability and platform support.
Which is cheaper, Augury or Redlist?

Does Augury or Redlist run on more platforms?
Both run on Web, iOS, Android, so platform support will not decide this one for you.
What is Augury best used for?
Augury is most often used for a food plant with 200 similar motors and pumps and no vibration analyst on staff, a multi-site manufacturer that needs one reliability picture across plants without standardising their maintenance teams, an operator whose capex budget will not approve sensor hardware but whose opex budget will approve a service, a site trying to move from calendar-based motor overhauls to condition-based intervals with defensible evidence. Of those, a food plant with 200 similar motors and pumps and no vibration analyst on staff and a multi-site manufacturer that needs one reliability picture across plants without standardising their maintenance teams are not what Redlist is typically brought in for.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Augury: Do I buy the sensors?

No. Sensors, gateways, connectivity and installation are included in the per-machine annual fee.

Redlist: Is Redlist only for lubrication?

No, it is a full CMMS with work orders and scheduling, but lubrication management is the reason most customers choose it.

Augury: Is there a per-user licence?

No. The web application allows unlimited users; the meter is monitored machines.

Redlist: How is it licensed?

Per user, across four licence types with different capabilities, rather than by asset count.

Augury: Who does the diagnosis?

Machine-learning models flag issues and Augury vibration analysts review them before a finding is released to you.

Redlist: Does it publish prices?

No. Figures circulating on review sites are not vendor-published and should not be used to set a budget.

Augury: What happens if we cancel?

The sensors are part of the service and monitoring stops; you do not retain a usable standalone system.

Redlist: Can technicians use it without signal?

Yes, the mobile app captures work offline and syncs later, which is the normal case in mining and oilfield sites.
