The short version

  • Only MaintainX has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Limble CMMS prices are not published on any tier; the pricing page offers a calculator instead; 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: Limble CMMS 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.

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

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

Limble CMMS: How much does Limble CMMS cost?

Limble CMMS offers three tiers (Standard, Premium+, and Enterprise) but does not publish prices on the website. Use the price calculator at limble.com/limble-price-calculator to get a personalized quote.

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.

Limble CMMS: What features does the Premium+ plan include?

Premium+ tier includes everything in Standard plus offline mode, parts inventory, vendor management, and API access.

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.

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.

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.
