The short version

  • Only Fiix has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: CentralSquare Asset Management the Lucity name is now only a suffix on a CentralSquare product, so long-standing customers should confirm which capabilities carry forward under the current release rather than assuming continuity from the Lucity they know.; Fiix integrations, SSO, audit trail and database export are all Enterprise only, which carries no published price
  • They diverge on capability: CentralSquare Asset Management covers Esri ArcGIS integration, Fiix covers Work order management.
  • 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.

CentralSquare Asset Management

  • The Lucity name is now only a suffix on a CentralSquare product, so long-standing customers should confirm which capabilities carry forward under the current release rather than assuming continuity from the Lucity they know.
  • CentralSquare is private-equity owned and grew by acquisition, so asset management competes for development attention against public safety and finance products with larger revenue, and its roadmap is not independently controlled.
  • Pricing is unpublished and quoted per municipality, and asset management is often presented alongside other suite modules, so a department must work to get a clean, unbundled number it can defend at council.
  • Esri ArcGIS is effectively a prerequisite for the spatial capability that makes the product worth buying, and that licence is a separate cost the software quote will not include.
  • It is North America focused, aligned to United States municipal practice, funding structures and regulatory programmes, which limits its fit for local authorities elsewhere.

Fiix

  • Integrations, SSO, audit trail and database export are all Enterprise only, which carries no published price
  • The $75 Professional plan still excludes e signatures, failure codes and any integration
  • The $45 Basic plan excludes multi site management, purchasing and advanced analytics
  • The free plan is limited in users and withholds almost every feature beyond basic work orders
  • Assets are unlimited on every tier, so the ladder is entirely about features rather than scale
