Built for
Maintenance management (CMMS)
A CMMS and asset management platform for maintenance and frontline teams, with per-user plans starting from a free tier.
Side by side
| Topic | MaintainX | SuperAssets |
|---|---|---|
| Is this asset ready? | Work starts from maintenance plans, which act as work order templates that generate preventive work orders on a time-based schedule. [4] | Work starts from your standard: each asset type can carry a readiness policy, and when a requirement fails the work is raised and routed to the right team, whether or not a plan exists for it. Missing data shows as unknown, not as failed. |
| Out of standard, no task yet | Automations pair a trigger, such as a threshold, with an action like creating a work order or marking an asset Offline. [4] | The trigger is the standard itself: when an asset moves into a not-ready state, the gap is recorded before any task exists, and work is raised from the failed condition, never from missing data. |
| Asset structure | Assets can be organized in parent and sub-asset hierarchies, with components under equipment. [3] | Assets form a tree of locations, units and things. A blueprint defines the child assets an asset type brings with it, and applies to a single asset, a bulk set or existing assets. |
| Groups and properties | Locations support one level of sub-locations under a parent location. [3] | Grouping happens at the account level: accounts form a hierarchy from organization to properties, asset types and categories are shared down as read-only templates, and each property keeps its own data. |
| Work on the asset | A generated preventive work order follows the maintenance plan template it came from. [4] | Work follows the activity it was raised for: it carries a checklist that must be completed, photos, notes and time logs, and escalates when the SLA time for its type passes. |
| Pricing | Published per user: Essential $20 and Premium $65 per user per month billed annually, with a free Basic plan and custom Enterprise pricing. [2] | Priced per asset, not per user, so adding technicians or viewers does not change the price. |
Which one fits your team
MaintainX is the better fit if
- You want a broad CMMS with a free tier and published per-user plans.
- Your work runs on time-based preventive maintenance plans across many industries and sites.
- You rely on its integrations, such as Zapier, NetSuite, SAP or Microsoft Dynamics.
SuperAssets is the better fit if
- You run hotels or data centers and want a room or hall view, not a general work order queue.
- Your team is large or changes often: one price per room or server covers every technician, housekeeper and viewer.
- Missing records should show as unknown and go to a person, never count as a pass.
Switching from MaintainX
SuperAssets can replace MaintainX, or start alongside it while your team moves over. Assets and the standards that define a ready asset move first. Work follows once the team is working from them.
On our roadmap: offline work in the mobile app, meter and usage-based schedules, single sign-on and a full public API.

How to evaluate
Seven questions to ask any tool
Every one of these tools can hold a list of assets and a queue of work. The difference shows up in what the tool can tell you when something is not ready.
| Question | How SuperAssets answers |
|---|---|
| Q1 Can it explain the evidence behind a status? | Yes. Every result shows the requirement and the recorded evidence it was based on. Ask MaintainX the same question |
| Q2 What happens when evidence is missing or stale? | Stale evidence fails the interval. Missing evidence is reported as unknown, never as a pass or a failure. Ask MaintainX the same question |
| Q3 Can a requirement fail when no task exists? | Yes. Requirements are checked against records whether or not a task exists. Ask MaintainX the same question |
| Q4 Which failures create work? | Only supported failures with an active action configured. Others go to a person to review or configure. Ask MaintainX the same question |
| Q5 How are dependencies, approval, and access handled? | Requirements can describe how a failure affects dependent assets. Approval and access are set per rollout. Ask MaintainX the same question |
| Q6 What must be configured and maintained? | Your requirements, intervals, and configured actions, plus the connectors confirmed for your systems. Ask MaintainX the same question |
| Q7 What does the full rollout cost? | Priced on the assets under your standard, with unlimited users. Scope is quoted. Ask MaintainX the same question |
