Synchroteam

  • Lighter than ServiceTitan on the commercial side: no comparable estimating, financing or marketing tooling

  • Reporting is functional rather than deep
  • Per-user pricing adds up for businesses with many occasional users

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Hippo CMMS: Is Hippo CMMS still available?

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

Synchroteam: What does Synchroteam cost?

It publishes per-user monthly pricing on its site, which is unusual in field service software where quote-only is the norm.

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.

Synchroteam: How does it compare with ServiceTitan?

ServiceTitan is far deeper on the commercial side — estimating, financing, marketing — and priced accordingly. Synchroteam covers scheduling, dispatch and invoicing for less.

Hippo CMMS: What does it cost?

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

Synchroteam: Does the mobile app work offline?

Yes, job details and capture work without signal and sync when connection returns.

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.

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.
