Limble vs MaintainX vs Fiix vs UpKeep: which CMMS fits which plant

MaintainX has the lowest paid entry price of the four, $20 a user a month for preventive maintenance (PM) schedules, plus a free plan; parts and purchase orders are $65 on Premium. Limble puts MTBF and MTTR reporting and asset hierarchies on every tier. Fiix, owned by Rockwell Automation, links to PLCs (the machines' controllers) and the ERP, but those links and its failure codes sit on its quoted Enterprise plan. UpKeep has the lowest seat price with parts tracking, $55 on Premium; its purchase orders need the quoted Enterprise plan.

Quick answer

Price per user a month for each CMMS (computerized maintenance management system), from the vendor’s own page:

  • MaintainX: Basic $0, Essential $20, Premium $65 billed annually ($25 and $75 monthly), Enterprise by quote [1].

  • Limble: Standard $28, Premium+ $69, from Limble’s March 2026 cost guide; its pricing page shows no figures; Enterprise by quote [2][3].

  • Fiix: Free, Basic $45, Professional $75, Enterprise by quote [4].

  • UpKeep: Essential $24, Premium $55, billing period not stated; Professional and Enterprise by quote [5].

On the plan with both parts and purchase orders, one seat for a year at list price is $780 on MaintainX Premium, $828 on Limble Premium+ and $900 on Fiix Professional. For 25 technicians that is $19,500, $20,700 and $22,500. UpKeep puts purchase orders on Enterprise, so it is a quote. Count planners, storeroom staff and supervisors who close work orders too: each is one more seat at those rates. MaintainX plan by plan is in MaintainX pricing and alternatives; 3-year totals for nine vendors are in CMMS pricing.

Preventive maintenance scheduling

CMMS

What you get

Plan it needs

MaintainX

Calendar PMs on every plan; 2 repeating work orders on Basic, unlimited from Essential; checklists on 2 or 3 work orders a month below Premium; meter- and condition-based PMs from Premium [1]

Essential for calendar PMs, Premium for checklists on every PM and for meters

Limble

Unlimited PMs on every tier; checklists on 3 work orders a month on Standard, unlimited from Premium+; meter and threshold scheduling from Premium+ [2]

Standard for calendar PMs, Premium+ for meters

Fiix

25 active PMs on Free; unlimited PMs from Basic; meter readings on every plan; condition-based triggers on Enterprise [4]

Basic

UpKeep

“PM scheduling” and custom checklists are first listed on the Premium plan card; the Essential card lists unlimited work orders, locations and its AI assistant [5]

Premium

For a press or mold counted in shots, meter-based PMs are the row to check: Premium on MaintainX, Premium+ on Limble, every plan on Fiix.

Failure codes and asset hierarchy

CMMS

Failure codes and root cause

Asset hierarchy (parent machine, its components)

MaintainX

No failure-code row on its plan table. Root Cause Analysis, to “compare the causes of failure on each asset”, is Enterprise only [1]

Asset and location hierarchies from Premium [1]

Limble

No failure-code row on its plan table. Downtime reporting with MTBF and MTTR on every tier [2]

“Unlimited Asset Hierarchies” on every tier [2]

Fiix

Failure codes (a pre-set problem, cause and action a technician picks) on Enterprise only [4]

Asset hierarchies on every plan, including Free [4]

UpKeep

No failure-code row on its plan table. “Reliability and downtime tracking” is listed on Enterprise [5]

Up to 4 levels of assets, per UpKeep’s help center; locations nest 2 levels below Enterprise, 6 on Enterprise [10][11]

If cause codes on every breakdown are the point of buying, only Fiix publishes them, and only on Enterprise. On the other three, ask the vendor to show a closed work order with a failure code on the plan you are pricing.

Spare parts and purchasing

CMMS

What you get

Plan it needs

MaintainX

Parts against work orders, low-stock alerts and purchase orders from Premium; PO approvals, cycle counts and multi-location parts on Enterprise [1]

Premium

Limble

Spare parts, min/max levels, vendors and purchase orders from Premium+; cycle counts and purchasing approvals on Enterprise [2]

Premium+

Fiix

Parts inventory on every plan, including Free; purchasing, RFQs (quote requests) and cycle counts from Professional [4]

Professional for purchasing

UpKeep

Parts and inventory with costing from Premium; PO management on Enterprise [5]

Enterprise for purchase orders

Mobile and offline

All four have a phone app on every plan; they differ offline, which matters in basements and steel buildings with no signal. Fiix says its app works “even without an internet connection”, and its plan table lists no limit; confirm it in a trial [4]. MaintainX needs Premium [1], Limble Premium+ [2], and UpKeep Professional, which caches up to 5 work orders (100 on Enterprise) [5].

ERP and machine integrations

CMMS

What connects

Plan it needs

MaintainX

Open REST API from Premium; shop-floor data connectors from Premium at extra cost; custom ERP integrations on Enterprise, may cost extra. Lists NetSuite, Dynamics 365, SAP and Infor [1][6]

Enterprise for a custom ERP link

Limble

REST API, ERP and IoT integrations from Premium+, “additional costs may apply”. Lists SAP S/4HANA, NetSuite, Business Central and QuickBooks Online [2][7]

Premium+

Fiix

Two-way ERP connectors, a custom API and links to PLCs and the plant’s control and execution systems (SCADA, MES), all on Enterprise at additional cost [4][8]

Enterprise

UpKeep

API and custom integrations on Enterprise; ERP connectors for SAP, Oracle, NetSuite and Microsoft Dynamics [5][9]

Enterprise

If you run JobBOSS2, Epicor, Plex or another ERP not on these lists, ask each vendor whether it is a standard connector or a custom project, and for the price in writing.

Reporting and getting your data out

CMMS

What you get

Plan it needs

MaintainX

Analytics for the last 1 month on Basic, 3 on Essential, unlimited from Premium; MTBF and the report builder on Enterprise. Exports PDF below Premium, PDF and CSV from Premium [1]

Enterprise for MTBF

Limble

MTBF, MTTR and custom dashboards on every tier; advanced analytics capped at 3 a month on Standard, unlimited from Premium+; work order export to PDF or CSV on every tier [2]

Standard

Fiix

Dashboard on every plan; standard reports from Basic; advanced analytics from Professional; a full database export on Enterprise only [4]

Professional, Enterprise to take all your data

UpKeep

30 days of analytics history on Premium, full history from Professional; custom dashboards on Enterprise [5]

Professional or Enterprise

MTBF is mean time between failures and MTTR mean time to repair. Our MTBF and MTTR calculator works them out from your own breakdown log while you compare.

What each costs beyond the seat

  • MaintainX: implementation averages three weeks per site, fee not published [1].

  • Limble: publishes no list price; its site sends you to a calculator or a quote. Single sign-on is an add-on on Premium+ [2].

  • Fiix: “There are no additional setup or hardware fees”; the operator Lite License is priced on request [4].

  • UpKeep: onboarding is $500 for training only, $1,500 for implementation and training within 45 days, or $5,000 for expanded training [5].

  • Trials: none of the four publishes a trial length on its pricing page. Fiix lets you test Professional “at your own pace” [4].

When a breakdown is waiting on a part

When Line 2’s gearbox work order sits on hold for a bearing, Morsa finds the open PO in your ERP (Business Central, NetSuite, Epicor, Plex or another) and emails the supplier from the buyer’s mailbox. The buyer approves that kind of reminder once; after that it runs under that rule.

  1. Morsa reads the reply and writes the ship date into the ERP and onto the work order.

  2. A date later than the line can wait goes to the maintenance manager in Teams, with the option to request a quote from a second supplier.

MaintainX pricing and CMMS software pricing compared: UpKeep, Fiix, Limble and more

MaintainX costs $0, $20 or $65 per user a month billed annually ($25 or $75 billed monthly), with Enterprise by quote. UpKeep lists $24 and $55, Fiix $45 and $75, Limble's own cost page $28 and $69, and Coast $25 and $65, while eMaint and FTMaintenance quote and eWorkOrders charges a flat $380 or $480 a month for unlimited users. On the tier that adds parts and purchase orders (MaintainX Premium, Limble Premium+, Fiix Professional), 10 technicians cost $7,800 to $9,000 a year at list price. Whichever CMMS you choose, someone still has to turn an alarm and an operator's note into a work order. Morsa, which publishes this guide, is built to do that part, on top of the CMMS.

Total productive maintenance: the definition, the eight pillars, and a plant example

Total productive maintenance (TPM) is a way of running a plant in which operators, maintenance, engineering and management all own the equipment's condition. It began at Nippondenso in 1971 under the Japan Institute of Plant Maintenance and rests on eight pillars, starting with autonomous maintenance. This guide gives the definition, the pillars with a plant example each, the 16 losses, the measured cost of reactive maintenance, and how a mid-size plant starts.
