The short version

  • Only Fiix has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Fiix integrations, SSO, audit trail and database export are all Enterprise only, which carries no published price; Hippo CMMS no longer sold as a standalone product, so a new evaluation is really an Eptura evaluation with a different scope and price
  • They diverge on capability: Fiix covers Parts inventory, Hippo CMMS covers Interactive site maps.
  • 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.

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

Hippo CMMS

  • No longer sold as a standalone product, so a new evaluation is really an Eptura evaluation with a different scope and price
  • Pricing is not published, which makes it hard to compare against MaintainX or Limble without a sales process
  • The simplicity that was its selling point becomes a ceiling for organisations with complex asset hierarchies
  • Reporting is basic against competitors that have invested heavily in analytics
  • Product direction now follows Eptura workplace strategy rather than maintenance-specific needs

Source

Not as a standalone purchase. It was acquired by Eptura and its capabilities are part of Eptura Asset. Existing customers are still served.

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

Source
Hippo CMMS: What was distinctive about it?

Interactive facility maps. Placing assets on a floor plan and raising work orders from the drawing is a genuinely different way to navigate a site, and it is why it retained users against slicker competitors.

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
Hippo CMMS: What does it cost?

Not published. Eptura quotes, which is a change from Hippo, whose pricing was easier to establish.

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
Hippo CMMS: Should a new buyer consider it?

Evaluate Eptura Asset on its own terms, against MaintainX and Limble. Choosing it because of Hippo reviews written before the acquisition is a mistake.

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.

Source
Hippo CMMS: What happens to existing customers?

They continue to be supported within Eptura. The practical question is whether the broader workplace suite fits, since that is where the product roadmap now points.
