AI score: 66 / 100 Viable with known tradeoffs

Affordable cloud CMMS for SMB facilities — now part of Eptura

Type: plug-ins / best-of-breed  ·  Tech: modern  ·  Budget: SMB friendly ($10k–$70k/yr)
Core verticals: general / horizontal
Functions: maintenance, reporting / BI

Straightforward cloud CMMS for small manufacturers and facilities teams — preventive maintenance, work orders, and asset tracking without much of a learning curve. Now part of Eptura's workplace-software portfolio.

editor's note: Since the Eptura acquisition, watch for roadmap and pricing shifts as it's folded into a larger suite — confirm the standalone CMMS still fits before committing.

Solid entry-level CMMS absorbed into Eptura's workplace management platform. Good for small manufacturers needing basic PM and work order management without the sophistication (or cost) of Limble or UpKeep. The Eptura acquisition adds facility management capabilities but also some roadmap uncertainty.
