- Each has a real cost: Joblogic the published £45 per user per month covers only the Standard tier, and the planned maintenance contracts most buyers come for sit on Premium, which is quote only, so the advertised price is not the price a maintenance contractor pays.; 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: Joblogic covers PPM contract scheduling, Tractian covers Published per-user pricing.

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Joblogic
- The published £45 per user per month covers only the Standard tier, and the planned maintenance contracts most buyers come for sit on Premium, which is quote only, so the advertised price is not the price a maintenance contractor pays.
- Users are counted as office staff, engineers and managers alike, so a business with many part-time or seasonal engineers pays full seats for people who log a handful of jobs a month.
- The entry price is billed annually, so there is no low-commitment monthly option to trial the product properly at scale.
- Compliance certificates, terminology and accounting integrations are written for the UK and Ireland, which makes the product a poor fit outside those markets despite being sold internationally.
- The mobile app carries a lot of configurable form logic, and engineers on older devices report slow loading and sync on jobs with large certificate sets, which costs time on site.
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
Joblogic: Do I need the Premium plan?
If you run planned maintenance contracts, purchase orders or timesheets, yes. Standard handles reactive jobs, quotes and invoices only.
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.
Joblogic: Are subcontractors charged as users?
No. Joblogic counts office staff, engineers and managers as users; customers and subcontractors are not counted as seats.
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.
Joblogic: Does it work offline?
Yes, the engineer app completes jobs, forms and signatures without signal and syncs later, which matters in plant rooms and basements.
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.
Joblogic: Can it issue gas and electrical certificates?
Yes, statutory UK certificate templates are built in, and the top tier adds a form builder for your own documents.
Tractian: Can I use the sensors with another platform?
No. Smart Trac hardware reports to the Tractian platform.
