The short version

  • Only Fiix has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Fiix integrations, SSO, audit trail and database export are all Enterprise only, which carries no published price; MOVUS mOVUS is a small independent company, so standardising a large estate on its sensors carries supplier continuity risk that a purchase from a major instrumentation vendor does not.
  • They diverge on capability: Fiix covers Work order management, MOVUS covers FitMachine sensor.
  • 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.

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

MOVUS

  • MOVUS is a small independent company, so standardising a large estate on its sensors carries supplier continuity risk that a purchase from a major instrumentation vendor does not.
  • Support and service outside Australia and New Zealand depend on partners, which means response times, commercial terms and technical depth vary by country in ways the vendor cannot fully control.
  • Per-asset subscription plus per-asset hardware means the cost of full coverage rises linearly, so most sites end up monitoring a subset and leaving the long tail of small motors unmonitored.
  • The single condition score is designed for planners rather than analysts, which suits teams without vibration expertise but frustrates reliability engineers who want the underlying spectra to diagnose a specific defect.
  • Nothing is published on sensor cost, gateway requirements, subscription rate or contract term, so a realistic total cost for a site rollout cannot be estimated without a sales conversation.
