The short version

  • Only Fiix has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: eMaint the interface is dated against MaintainX and Limble, and this is the most common objection from technicians during a trial; Fiix integrations, SSO, audit trail and database export are all Enterprise only, which carries no published price
  • They diverge on capability: eMaint covers Configurable without code, Fiix covers Work order management.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 30 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

eMaint

  • The interface is dated against MaintainX and Limble, and this is the most common objection from technicians during a trial
  • Configurability means implementation is a project rather than a signup, and teams that under-resource it end up with a half-configured system
  • The three-user minimum makes it poor value for very small teams
  • Mobile is functional but clearly secondary to the web application
  • Pricing above the Team tier is quote-based, so comparison against published competitors requires a sales conversation

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

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

eMaint: Who owns eMaint?

Fluke Reliability, part of Fortive. That is why condition monitoring data from Fluke instruments integrates directly.

Fiix: What is included in Fiix's free plan?

The free plan includes 25 active preventive maintenance tasks, unlimited work orders, basic asset management, and mobile app access.

Source
eMaint: What does it actually cost?

The Team plan is 69 USD per user per month with a three-user minimum, so roughly 2,484 USD a year at the floor. Professional and Enterprise are quoted.

Fiix: What is the price difference between Basic and Professional plans per user?

Basic costs $45 per user per month, while Professional costs $75 per user per month. Professional is marked as the most popular tier.

Source
eMaint: Is it better than MaintainX or Limble?

Different trade. eMaint is more configurable and better on condition-based maintenance; the others are markedly better on mobile experience and speed of setup. Asset complexity should decide it.

Fiix: What unique features does the Professional plan add compared to Basic?

Professional includes multi-site management, AI insights, and advanced analytics in addition to the unlimited preventive maintenance and reports included in Basic.

Source
eMaint: How long does implementation take?

Weeks rather than days for anything beyond a basic work order setup. The configurability that makes it flexible is also what makes setup a project.

Fiix: Are there flexible payment options for Fiix subscriptions?

Yes, Fiix offers both month-to-month subscriptions and annual subscription plans with the ability to upgrade anytime. No additional setup or hardware fees apply.

Source
eMaint: Does it suit small teams?

Poorly. The three-user minimum and the configuration effort both assume an organisation large enough to have a maintenance function rather than a maintenance person.

Fiix: What add-on licenses are available, and how are they priced?

Fiix offers Lite License (Operator Access) for limited frontline team access and Fiix MAX AI assistant (requires Professional or Enterprise plan). Pricing for both requires contacting sales.
