A computerised maintenance management system (CMMS) is software that maintenance teams use to plan, record and analyse work on equipment and buildings. Its core functions are an asset register, work orders, preventive-maintenance schedules based on time or meter readings, spare-parts inventory, and reports on downtime, cost and completion rates; most modern products add mobile apps, request portals, sensor-triggered work and AI assistants.
This list compares twelve CMMS products available in November 2026, from free and per-user cloud tools for small teams to enterprise asset management suites. It covers ownership, published prices, plan limits and documented capabilities, drawing on each vendor's own pricing and product pages. Prices are in US dollars per user per month unless stated.

What is CMMS software
A CMMS replaces paper work orders, spreadsheets and whiteboards with a shared database of assets and the work done on them. Technicians receive and close work orders on mobile devices, record time, parts and failure causes, and attach photos or checklists; planners schedule recurring preventive maintenance; and managers track backlog, mean time between failures, downtime and cost per asset. Request portals let other staff report faults without a paid licence, a feature offered free of charge by MaintainX and UpKeep, among others.
CMMS overlaps with several adjacent categories. Enterprise asset management (EAM) software, such as IBM Maximo, extends maintenance into asset lifecycle planning, capital planning, reliability engineering and health scoring. Field service management software schedules technicians who travel to customers' sites, while a CMMS mainly manages an organisation's own assets. Facility management and integrated workplace management systems cover space, leases and room booking alongside maintenance. Inventory management software and ERP software may hold the same spare-parts and purchasing data, which is why ERP integration is a common enterprise requirement.
The distinction is blurring: many CMMS vendors now offer multi-site, inventory and analytics features previously associated with EAM, and EAM vendors sell entry editions aimed at maintenance teams.
History and market
Most CMMS products are now delivered as cloud software, but several vendors in this list still offer on-premises deployment: FasTrak SoftWorks sells perpetual licences for FTMaintenance Select that can be installed on a customer's own servers, and IBM sells a client-managed edition of Maximo that can run on-premises or on public clouds.
The market has consolidated as industrial-technology groups acquired specialist vendors. Fiix is a Rockwell Automation company; eMaint is presented as part of Fluke, with eMaint Enterprises, LLC a subsidiary of Fluke Electronics Corporation; the Asset Essentials product formerly sold by Brightly Software is now published on the Siemens asset-management site; MPulse is part of JDM Technology Group; Maintenance Connection is sold by Accruent; and Hippo CMMS has become part of Eptura and is being developed into Eptura Asset. Most recently, MaintainX states that it is now officially part of Autodesk, within Autodesk Operations Solutions.
Since 2024 the main product trends have been generative-AI assistants and credits (UpKeep's Nova, Fiix MAX, MaintainX Assist, the eMaint AI Suite and Siemens' Maintenance Copilot), sensor and IoT-triggered maintenance, and the extension of mobile apps to frontline operators rather than only technicians. No independent market-size estimate was verified for this list.
Key features to compare
Work orders and preventive maintenance
All products here handle work orders and scheduled PMs, but entry plans often cap them. MaintainX's free Basic plan allows two active repeating work orders; Fiix's free plan allows 25 active PMs.
Procedures and checklists
Attached procedures standardise inspections and support audits. Limble's Standard plan and MaintainX's Essential plan both limit the number of work orders with attached procedures.
Inventory and purchasing
Spare-parts tracking, reorder points, purchase orders and cycle counts are usually mid-tier features: purchase orders appear on MaintainX Premium, UpKeep Enterprise and Limble Premium+.
Meter, condition and sensor triggers
Usage- or condition-based maintenance needs meter readings and integration with sensors. eMaint includes condition-based triggers and real-time condition monitoring in Professional, and Asset Essentials supports IoT remote monitoring that creates corrective work orders.
Multi-site management
Organisations with several plants or campuses need site hierarchies, global parts and cross-site reporting; these are typically enterprise features, as at MaintainX, Limble and UpKeep.
Mobile and offline use
Offline mode matters in basements, plants and remote sites. It is included in Limble Premium+, UpKeep Professional and eMaint Professional.
Compliance and audit trail
Regulated sectors need electronic signatures and audit trails. Limble Enterprise lists 21 CFR compliance, and Maintenance Connection emphasises e-signatures, procedure versioning and audit trails.
Integrations and API
ERP, single sign-on and API access are frequently reserved for top tiers or charged as extras, as at Fiix, where the integration hub and SSO carry additional costs.
Pricing models
Most cloud CMMS products charge per user per month. Published November 2026 entry prices include MaintainX Essential at US$20 (annual billing), UpKeep Essential at US$24, MPulse Professional at US$29 (annual, three-user minimum) and Fiix Basic at US$45; mid tiers include UpKeep Premium at US$55, MaintainX Premium at US$65, Fiix Professional at US$75 and MPulse Advanced at US$79. Free plans are offered by MaintainX and Fiix. Several vendors charge nothing for requester, view-only or vendor users, and MPulse licenses concurrent rather than named users.
Enterprise products price differently. IBM Maximo uses AppPoints, a credit system in which each application and user type consumes points, with a 12-month minimum term; its Essentials SaaS edition starts at under US$40,000 a year for Maintenance. eMaint bills Professional and Enterprise as prepaid annual commitments with three- and five-user minimums, without publishing per-user rates. FTMaintenance Select offers annual or month-to-month subscriptions and perpetual licences, all on quotation. Implementation is often extra: UpKeep lists one-off packages from US$500 to US$5,000.
How to choose
Small teams and single sites moving off paper can start on the free plans of MaintainX or Fiix, or on low-cost per-user tiers from MaintainX, UpKeep or MPulse.
Growing manufacturers needing inventory, meters and analytics should compare MaintainX Premium, Limble Premium+, UpKeep Premium or Professional, and Fiix Professional, paying attention to offline mode, API access and AI credits.
Regulated industries such as pharmaceuticals and food should look at eMaint, Limble Enterprise and Maintenance Connection for electronic signatures, audit trails and validation support.
Large asset-intensive enterprises in utilities, transport and heavy industry typically evaluate IBM Maximo for EAM-scale reliability, health and capital planning.
Public sector and education organisations often shortlist Siemens' Asset Essentials, which features education and government use cases.
Organisations requiring on-premises hosting can consider FTMaintenance Select or IBM Maximo's client-managed edition.
Methodology
Products were included if they were sold in November 2026 as maintenance management systems with work orders, preventive maintenance and asset records, and if the vendor's own site describes plans or capabilities in enough detail to verify. Field service tools without asset-maintenance functions were excluded.
Entries were ordered by editorial judgement on four verifiable criteria: breadth of documented maintenance functions (work orders, PMs, inventory, meters and sensors, multi-site, compliance); transparency of published pricing and plan limits; deployment and integration options; and suitability for a defined buyer segment. Products with published per-user prices and free tiers are placed ahead of quote-only products of similar scope because buyers can verify them. No user reviews, star ratings, analyst rankings or paid placements were used.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best CMMS software?
There is no single best CMMS for every organisation. MaintainX, UpKeep and Fiix are strong cloud choices with published prices; Limble puts offline mode and the API in its middle tier; eMaint and Maintenance Connection suit regulated and reliability-focused operations; IBM Maximo serves large asset-intensive enterprises; and FTMaintenance Select is an option where on-premises hosting is required.
How much does CMMS software cost?
Published prices in November 2026 range from free plans at MaintainX and Fiix to about US$20–45 per user per month for entry tiers (MaintainX, UpKeep, MPulse, Fiix) and US$55–79 for mid tiers. Enterprise tiers are quoted. IBM Maximo's Essentials edition starts at under US$40,000 a year for its Maintenance application.
Is there a free CMMS?
Yes. MaintainX offers a free Basic plan with unlimited work orders but caps on procedures and repeating work orders, and Fiix offers a free plan for a limited number of users with 25 active preventive-maintenance schedules. Several vendors also give free licences to requesters who only submit work requests.
What is the difference between CMMS and EAM?
A CMMS focuses on maintenance execution: work orders, preventive maintenance, parts and technician records. Enterprise asset management (EAM) covers the full asset lifecycle, adding capital planning, reliability engineering, asset health and financial integration across many sites. Products such as IBM Maximo and Maintenance Connection describe themselves as EAM or combined CMMS and EAM.
Can a CMMS work offline?
Many do through their mobile apps, but offline mode is often reserved for higher tiers. Limble includes it in Premium+, UpKeep in Professional, eMaint in Professional, and Maintenance Connection in its mobile app. Teams working in basements, plants or remote sites should test offline synchronisation during evaluation.
Which CMMS is best for small businesses?
Small teams usually choose a product with a free tier or low per-user price and fast mobile adoption. MaintainX and Fiix have free plans, MaintainX Essential costs US$20 per user per month on annual billing, UpKeep Essential US$24 and MPulse Professional US$29 with a three-user minimum.
Can CMMS software run on-premises?
Most CMMS products are cloud-only, but FTMaintenance Select sells perpetual licences that can be installed on a customer's own servers, and IBM's client-managed Maximo edition can run on-premises or on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud. On-premises deployment is mainly chosen for regulatory, security or connectivity reasons.
