The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Fiix integrations, SSO, audit trail and database export are all Enterprise only, which carries no published price; 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: Fiix covers Work order management, MaintainX covers Mobile work orders.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 30 August 2026.

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

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

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
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.

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
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.

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
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.

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
MaintainX: Can it handle multiple sites?

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

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.

Source
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.
