The short version

  • Only MaintainX has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Joblogic the published £45 per user per month covers only the Standard tier, and the planned maintenance contracts most buyers come for sit on Premium, which is quote only, so the advertised price is not the price a maintenance contractor pays.; MaintainX per-user pricing punishes organisations with many occasional users, and the requester-only seat model does not solve this as cleanly as it appears
  • They diverge on capability: Joblogic covers PPM contract scheduling, MaintainX covers Mobile work orders.
  • 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.

Joblogic

  • The published £45 per user per month covers only the Standard tier, and the planned maintenance contracts most buyers come for sit on Premium, which is quote only, so the advertised price is not the price a maintenance contractor pays.
  • Users are counted as office staff, engineers and managers alike, so a business with many part-time or seasonal engineers pays full seats for people who log a handful of jobs a month.
  • The entry price is billed annually, so there is no low-commitment monthly option to trial the product properly at scale.
  • Compliance certificates, terminology and accounting integrations are written for the UK and Ireland, which makes the product a poor fit outside those markets despite being sold internationally.
  • The mobile app carries a lot of configurable form logic, and engineers on older devices report slow loading and sync on jobs with large certificate sets, which costs time on site.

MaintainX

  • Per-user pricing punishes organisations with many occasional users, and the requester-only seat model does not solve this as cleanly as it appears
  • Reporting is adequate rather than deep, and teams wanting genuine reliability analytics generally export to a BI tool
  • Parts inventory sits behind the Premium tier, which is a steep jump from Essential for a feature many maintenance teams treat as core
  • Integration with heavyweight ERP is available but real SAP or Oracle projects need work beyond the connector
  • Less suited to complex asset hierarchies and condition-based maintenance than an established enterprise asset management platform

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Joblogic: Do I need the Premium plan?

If you run planned maintenance contracts, purchase orders or timesheets, yes. Standard handles reactive jobs, quotes and invoices only.

MaintainX: Is the free tier actually usable?

Yes. It allows unlimited work orders and assets with the full mobile app, and small teams run on it indefinitely. The limits that push teams to pay are procedure templates, preventive maintenance scheduling and reporting.

Joblogic: Are subcontractors charged as users?

No. Joblogic counts office staff, engineers and managers as users; customers and subcontractors are not counted as seats.

MaintainX: How does it compare to UpKeep?

Both are mobile-first CMMS aimed at the same buyer. MaintainX is generally stronger on procedures and the free tier; UpKeep has a longer history with parts and purchasing. The decision usually comes down to which mobile app the technicians prefer in a trial.

Joblogic: Does it work offline?

Yes, the engineer app completes jobs, forms and signatures without signal and syncs later, which matters in plant rooms and basements.

MaintainX: Does it work without signal?

Yes. Offline mode is a core feature rather than an add-on, which matters in plant areas and basements where a web-only CMMS is unusable.

Joblogic: Can it issue gas and electrical certificates?

Yes, statutory UK certificate templates are built in, and the top tier adds a form builder for your own documents.

MaintainX: Can it handle multiple sites?

Yes, from the Premium tier. Multi-site asset hierarchies and cross-site reporting are not available on Essential.

MaintainX: What is the real cost for a 20-person team?

On Premium at list, roughly 16,560 USD a year before negotiation. Most of the saving comes from designating occasional staff as requesters rather than full users, so count your true licensed seats before comparing quotes.
