## The answer, as recorded

> # Best asset tracking software for small businesses
> 
> The honest answer is that "best" depends on *what* you're tracking - IT laptops, field equipment, or general physical inventory are three different problems with three different winners. Here's who I'd actually name, in order:
> 
> **1. Sortly** - my default recommendation for most small businesses. It's the easiest to actually get running: photo-based item entry, QR/barcode labels you print yourself, and a mobile app your staff will use without training. Free for 100 items, ~$24/month for 500. If you're tracking tools, stock, or general company property and just want it working this week, start here.
> 
> **2. AssetTiger** - the best free option, full stop. Genuinely free for up to 250 assets, with real barcode scanning, check-in/check-out, maintenance schedules, and depreciation. There's no catch beyond the asset ceiling. If budget is the binding constraint, try this before paying anyone.
> 
> **3. Snipe-IT** - the pick if you're tracking IT assets (laptops, monitors, licenses) and have someone technical. Open source and free if you self-host; hosted plans run roughly $40/month up to ~$400/year. Best-in-class for who-has-which-laptop, weak
