The short version

  • Each has a real cost: 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.; 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: Repsly covers Store visit workflows, 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.

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.

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.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

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.

Tractian: What does the CMMS actually cost?

Standard is from 60 USD per user per month with five users minimum, Enterprise from 100 USD with ten minimum, both billed annually.

Repsly: What is the minimum contract?

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

Tractian: Are the sensors included?

No. Both CMMS tiers explicitly exclude sensors, which are priced per monitored asset under a separate bundle that is not published.

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.

Tractian: Do fault reporters need licences?

No. Requester accounts are unlimited on both tiers, which is the main reason the per-user price is workable for large plants.
