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

Vend

  • Limited equipment selection with vendor-recommended hardware often being substandard quality
  • eCommerce feature restricted to higher-tier plans only
  • 24/7 phone and email support not included in all plans
  • Now integrated into Lightspeed Retail X-Series, potentially confusing for existing Vend customers
