## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-21 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd suggest trying them:
> 
> **1. Sortly** - my default pick for most small businesses. It's the easiest to get running in an afternoon: photo-based visual inventory, QR/barcode label generation from your phone, custom fields, low-stock alerts. Free up to 100 items, then ~$24/month for 500 items. The catch is it charges per user, so it gets pricey if you need a lot of seats. Best if you're tracking tools, equipment, or stock and want zero learning curve.
> 
> **2. AssetTiger** - the value play. Free for up to 250 assets with no crippling feature limits, and paid tiers stay cheap because pricing is by asset count, not users. Check-in/check-out, depreciation, maintenance scheduling, warranty tracking. The UI feels dated, but for a business tracking laptops and equipment on a budget it's very hard to beat free.
> 
> **3. Snipe-IT** - if you're specifically tracking IT gear (laptops, monitors, licenses, who has what). It's open source and genuinely free if you self-host; hosted plans start around $40/month (~$400/year). Purpose-built for IT asset management with asset-to-employee assignment and license tracking. Requires someone comfortable

Answer Watch records what one AI answer engine said on one date, nothing more. Each page names the engine and the model, carries the date the question was asked, and lists the brands that appeared in the answer in the order the engine gave them, with the sources it cited. It is a measurement, not a ranking, not a recommendation and not a claim about the world. Brands that did not appear in an answer are not named on any public page.
