## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-25 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> The right pick depends mostly on *what* you're tracking - laptops/IT gear, field equipment that moves around, or general stuff/inventory. Here's who I'd actually name, in order:
> 
> **1. Snipe-IT** - My default recommendation if your assets are IT equipment (laptops, monitors, phones, licenses). Open source, genuinely free if you self-host, and the check-in/check-out and assigned-user model is exactly right for tracking who has what. Managed hosting is around $400/yr for the basic tier if you don't want to run a server. Ratings hold up well (~4.6 on G2). The catch: self-hosting means you own backups and updates.
> 
> **2. AssetTiger** - The best free option for a general small business. Free up to 250 assets with no credit card, and you get barcode scanning, check-in/out, and basic reporting. If you're under that ceiling, there's very little reason to pay for anything until you outgrow it. Start here to find out what you actually need.
> 
> **3. Sortly** - What I'd pick if you want something that just works with zero setup and your "assets" are a mix of equipment, tools, and supplies. Photo-first interface, great mobile app, QR labels. Real pricing lands around $49/month - note the advertised

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.
