The short version

  • 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.; Fracttal One pricing is not published, so it cannot be compared against MaintainX or Limble without a sales conversation
  • They diverge on capability: CentralSquare Asset Management covers Esri ArcGIS integration, Fracttal One 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  • Pricing is unpublished and quoted per municipality, and asset management is often presented alongside other suite modules, so a department must work to get a clean, unbundled number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.

Fracttal One

  • Pricing is not published, so it cannot be compared against MaintainX or Limble without a sales conversation
  • English-language documentation and community are thinner than the Spanish equivalents, which reverses the usual problem
  • Smaller partner and integration ecosystem than the US-headquartered competitors
  • Less recognised on English-language shortlists, which can make internal approval harder in multinational procurement
  • The IoT capability requires sensor investment to be worth anything, and the business case for that is separate from the CMMS decision

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

CentralSquare Asset Management: Can I still buy Lucity?

Not under that name alone. It is sold as CentralSquare Asset Management powered by Lucity, and quotes and contracts will use the CentralSquare name.

Fracttal One: Where is Fracttal strongest?

Latin America and Spain. Native Spanish and Portuguese support, regional implementation partners and local invoicing decide more maintenance software purchases in those markets than feature comparisons do.

CentralSquare Asset Management: Do I need Esri?

In practice yes. The spatial asset handling that distinguishes the product depends on ArcGIS, licensed separately from Esri.

Fracttal One: What does it cost?

Not published. Pricing is quoted by tier and region, which is normal for this market but makes direct comparison harder.

CentralSquare Asset Management: Is it cloud only?

No. Both hosted subscription and on-premise deployment are available, which matters for municipalities with data residency or network policy constraints.

Fracttal One: Does it do predictive maintenance?

It supports sensor-triggered maintenance through its IoT layer. Whether that constitutes predictive maintenance depends on the sensors and the analysis behind them, not on the CMMS.

CentralSquare Asset Management: Is pricing published?

No. It is quoted per municipality based on population, modules and users, usually through a public procurement process.

Fracttal One: Is it a good choice for a US-only operation?

Usually not the obvious one. MaintainX, UpKeep and Limble have published pricing, larger English-language ecosystems and more local reference customers.

Fracttal One: How does it compare to the US mid-market CMMS?

Functionally comparable. The decision is normally about language, support hours and local presence rather than about features.
