The short version

  • Only EZOfficeInventory has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: EZOfficeInventory pricing base example of 300 tracked items, scales upward for higher counts; Sight Machine onboarding is a data engineering project measured in months per plant, so value arrives long after the contract starts and the internal sponsor needs the patience and budget to survive that gap.
  • They diverge on capability: EZOfficeInventory covers Asset tracking, Sight Machine covers Unified plant data model.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

EZOfficeInventory

  • Pricing base example of 300 tracked items, scales upward for higher counts
  • CMMS features priced separately by admin user
  • Enterprise requires custom quote

Sight Machine

  • Onboarding is a data engineering project measured in months per plant, so value arrives long after the contract starts and the internal sponsor needs the patience and budget to survive that gap.
  • It assumes the instrumentation already exists, so a plant whose machines produce no usable data gets nothing from a data platform and needs to solve connectivity first with a different class of product.
  • Pricing scales with plants and data volume and is never published, which puts it out of reach for single site manufacturers regardless of how relevant the capability sounds.
  • It is not an MES and does not control or execute anything, so it sits on top of the operational systems and adds a layer to maintain rather than replacing one.
  • Success depends on a central team that owns definitions and enforces them, and in groups where plants retain autonomy the standardisation the platform provides gets quietly ignored at site level.
