The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Redlist no pricing is published by the vendor, and the four licence types have different capabilities, so the only way to size a budget is a quote and the widely repeated per-user figures come from review sites.; Repsly every contract requires a twelve-month minimum commitment paid annually upfront, and Repsly states plainly that it offers no free trial, so a brand cannot pilot one territory cheaply before committing a years budget.
  • They diverge on capability: Redlist covers Lubrication routes, Repsly covers Store visit workflows.
  • 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.

Redlist

  • No pricing is published by the vendor, and the four licence types have different capabilities, so the only way to size a budget is a quote and the widely repeated per-user figures come from review sites.
  • Cost scales with licensed users, which is awkward for operations with large numbers of technicians who each need only to record a completed lubrication route.
  • Outside lubrication the CMMS is ordinary, so organisations without a lubrication-driven failure problem pay a specialist price for general functionality.
  • The customer base and support presence are North American, which affects response times, lubricant catalogue coverage and reference availability elsewhere.
  • The integration list is short compared with established CMMS platforms, so connecting to an ERP or a plant historian is likely to need custom API work.

Repsly

  • Every contract requires a twelve-month minimum commitment paid annually upfront, and Repsly states plainly that it offers no free trial, so a brand cannot pilot one territory cheaply before committing a years budget.
  • Pricing is not published at any tier, so there is no way to compare the cost of Core against Scale, or against a competitor, without going through sales on both sides.
  • The data model assumes repeat visits to fixed retail locations, so companies whose field work is job-based or appointment-based will fight the product rather than configure it.
  • Image recognition accuracy depends on photo quality and on the product catalogue being trained for your SKUs, which means real onboarding effort and degraded results on cluttered or poorly lit shelves.
  • Cuadrilla Capital acquired Repsly in January 2025, and a private equity buyout of a mature product usually shifts investment towards retention and pricing rather than towards new capability, which is a risk if you are buying on roadmap promises.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Redlist: Is Redlist only for lubrication?

No, it is a full CMMS with work orders and scheduling, but lubrication management is the reason most customers choose it.

Repsly: Can I trial Repsly before buying?

No. Repsly states there is no free trial; it offers proof-of-concept arrangements during the sales process instead.

Redlist: How is it licensed?

Per user, across four licence types with different capabilities, rather than by asset count.

Repsly: What is the minimum contract?

Twelve months, paid annually upfront by credit card, ACH or wire transfer.

Redlist: Does it publish prices?

No. Figures circulating on review sites are not vendor-published and should not be used to set a budget.

Repsly: Is Repsly a field service tool?

No. It is built for retail execution, where the unit of work is a repeat visit to a store, not a work order against an asset.

Redlist: Can technicians use it without signal?

Yes, the mobile app captures work offline and syncs later, which is the normal case in mining and oilfield sites.

Repsly: Who owns Repsly?

Cuadrilla Capital, which acquired the company in January 2025. Repsly was founded in Zagreb and is headquartered in Boston.
