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; Samotics sAM4 only sees what reaches the motor electrically, so it covers the driven train and misses un-driven equipment, structures, process conditions and anything downstream of a mechanical decoupling.
  • They diverge on capability: Fiix covers Work order management, Samotics covers Electrical signature analysis.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

What people use each for

The jobs each tool is most often brought in to do.

Fiix

  • Maintenance management and work order tracking for equipmentnot Samotics
  • Scheduling preventive maintenance and managing spare parts inventorynot Samotics

Samotics

  • A water utility monitoring submersible and borehole pumps that no vibration sensor can be fitted to without lifting the pumpnot Fiix
  • A chemical plant with assets in ATEX zones where certifying and maintaining in-field sensors is more expensive than the monitoring itselfnot Fiix
  • A food plant that wants pump and mixer condition data without opening guarding or taking a hygiene-critical line down to fit sensorsnot Fiix
  • A site building an energy reduction case, where measured motor efficiency and waste give the business case a payback that reliability alone would notnot Fiix

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

Samotics

  • SAM4 only sees what reaches the motor electrically, so it covers the driven train and misses un-driven equipment, structures, process conditions and anything downstream of a mechanical decoupling.
  • Each monitored motor needs hardware installed in the motor control centre by a qualified electrician, and in older switchrooms that installation, including any required outage, can cost more than a year of the subscription.
  • Per-asset subscription pricing means the cost scales linearly with the number of motors, so a plant with a thousand small motors faces a bill that a fixed-price plant-wide vibration system would not impose.
  • Electrical signature analysis on variable-speed drives is harder than on direct-on-line motors, and results vary with drive type, so a heavily VSD estate should insist on a pilot on its own drives before committing.
  • Nothing is published on price, contract length or minimum deployment size, and the vendor sells multi-year subscriptions, so early exit terms are a negotiation you have to raise yourself.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

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
Samotics: Does Samotics replace vibration monitoring?

For motor-driven assets it often does, and it reaches assets vibration cannot. For un-driven equipment and structures it does not apply at all.

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
Samotics: Do I have to buy Samotics hardware?

Yes. SAM4 requires the vendor's sensors fitted in the motor control centre; there is no software-only option.

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
Samotics: Does it work on variable-speed drives?

It can, but performance depends on the drive and the operating profile. Pilot it on your own VSD assets rather than accepting a reference from a direct-on-line site.

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
Samotics: How is it priced?

Subscription per monitored asset, quoted, typically on a multi-year term, with hardware and electrical installation on top.

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.
