The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Limble CMMS prices are not published on any tier; the pricing page offers a calculator instead; Tractian sensors are excluded from both published CMMS tiers and are quoted per monitored asset, so the transparent rate card covers only the part of the deployment that costs least.
  • They diverge on capability: Limble CMMS covers Work order management, Tractian covers Published per-user pricing.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Limble CMMS

  • Prices are not published on any tier; the pricing page offers a calculator instead
  • Mobile offline mode is withheld from the Standard tier, which matters for technicians working in plant with no signal
  • Spare parts, vendor and purchase order management all require Premium+
  • REST API access is not available on Standard
  • SSO is an add-on on Premium+ and only included with Enterprise
  • Multi-location tools, custom roles and 21 CFR compliance are Enterprise only

Tractian

  • Sensors are excluded from both published CMMS tiers and are quoted per monitored asset, so the transparent rate card covers only the part of the deployment that costs least.
  • Smart Trac hardware reports into the Tractian platform, so a plant that later changes analytics vendor writes off the installed sensor base.
  • The five-user minimum on Standard and ten-user minimum on Enterprise put a floor under the cost that small maintenance teams cannot get below.
  • ERP integration, single sign-on and the Power BI connector are Enterprise-only, so an organisation needing SAP integration pays the higher rate for every licensed user including technicians who need none of it.
  • The company is young and venture-funded with rapid product expansion, so enterprise features are newer than the core CMMS and reference sites at large industrial scale are fewer than for established EAM vendors.
