The short version
- Each has a real cost: Duro PLM no pricing is published anywhere, so budgeting requires a sales conversation and buyers cannot compare against alternatives without entering a pipeline.; MOVUS mOVUS is a small independent company, so standardising a large estate on its sensors carries supplier continuity risk that a purchase from a major instrumentation vendor does not.
- They diverge on capability: Duro PLM covers Part library, MOVUS covers FitMachine sensor.
- Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

MOVUS
- A mining operation instrumenting pumps and fans in a classified hazardous zone where cabled monitoring would require an outage and an electrical projectnot Duro PLM
- A water utility with a small maintenance team that wants assessed alerts rather than a dashboard nobody has time to interpretnot Duro PLM
- A food processing site adding condition monitoring to existing assets without production downtime, using magnetic mountingnot Duro PLM
- An Australian operator that wants local support and local calibration data rather than a Northern Hemisphere vendor with a resellernot Duro PLM
Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Duro PLM
- No pricing is published anywhere, so budgeting requires a sales conversation and buyers cannot compare against alternatives without entering a pipeline.
- Plans are sold in fixed user bands rather than per seat, so hiring an eleventh engineer moves you to the next tier instead of adding one seat.
- Storage allowances are capped at 25, 50 and 100 GB, which is tight for teams keeping native CAD files rather than only neutral formats.
- There is no self-hosted or on-premises option, which rules Duro out for defence and some aerospace suppliers with data residency or ITAR handling constraints.
- Scope stops at engineering data: no requirements management, no quality module and no manufacturing process planning, so it does not replace the systems a company needs at production scale.
MOVUS
- MOVUS is a small independent company, so standardising a large estate on its sensors carries supplier continuity risk that a purchase from a major instrumentation vendor does not.
- Support and service outside Australia and New Zealand depend on partners, which means response times, commercial terms and technical depth vary by country in ways the vendor cannot fully control.
- Per-asset subscription plus per-asset hardware means the cost of full coverage rises linearly, so most sites end up monitoring a subset and leaving the long tail of small motors unmonitored.
- The single condition score is designed for planners rather than analysts, which suits teams without vibration expertise but frustrates reliability engineers who want the underlying spectra to diagnose a specific defect.
- Nothing is published on sensor cost, gateway requirements, subscription rate or contract term, so a realistic total cost for a site rollout cannot be estimated without a sales conversation.

Questions people ask
- Is Duro PLM or MOVUS better?
- Neither clearly leads. Duro PLM starts at On request and MOVUS at On request, and user ratings are close enough to be indistinguishable. Choose on capability and platform support.
- Which is cheaper, Duro PLM or MOVUS?
- Duro PLM starts at On request and MOVUS at On request.
- Does Duro PLM or MOVUS run on more platforms?
- Duro PLM runs on Web. MOVUS runs on Web, Cloud, iOS, Android.
- What is Duro PLM best used for?
- Duro PLM is most often used for a robotics startup imposing change control on a design before releasing it to a contract manufacturer, a consumer electronics team tracking supplier part numbers and costs against every item in the bom, a hardware company whose engineers keep overwriting each other's bom spreadsheet versions, a venture-funded startup that needs a defensible change history before a first production build. Of those, a robotics startup imposing change control on a design before releasing it to a contract manufacturer and a consumer electronics team tracking supplier part numbers and costs against every item in the bom are not what MOVUS is typically brought in for.
- What can Duro PLM do that MOVUS cannot?
- Duro PLM covers Part library, Multi-level BOMs, Change orders, CAD integrations. MOVUS covers FitMachine sensor, FitMachine 3XT EX, Assessed alerts, Condition scoring.
Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Duro PLM: How much does Duro cost?
Duro does not publish prices. Plans are fixed annual subscriptions quoted by sales against a user band, billed Net 30.
MOVUS: Is there a hazardous area version?
Yes. The FitMachine 3XT EX is certified for hazardous zones, with availability from February 2026.
Duro PLM: Can I run Duro on my own servers?
No. It is cloud only, which is a hard blocker for organisations with data residency or export control requirements.
MOVUS: Do I get raw vibration data?
The product is built around an assessed condition score and reviewed alerts. Reliability engineers wanting full spectra should confirm what data access their contract includes.
Duro PLM: What happens when we exceed our user band?
You move to the next tier rather than adding individual seats, so growth arrives as a step change in cost.
MOVUS: Does installation need an electrician?
No for the sensor, which mounts magnetically and runs on battery. Gateways typically need power and network, which is where the site work sits.
Duro PLM: Is Duro suitable for medical device work?
Its change control is real but the workflow configuration and audit depth are lighter than dedicated regulated-industry PLM, so most ISO 13485 programmes need more.
MOVUS: Is MOVUS available outside Australia?
Yes, largely through partners including industrial services and insurance-linked risk programmes, with support quality varying by region.
