## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-29 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> "Asset tracking" splits into three different problems, and the best tool depends on which one you have. Here's how I'd rank them.
> 
> ## If you're tracking physical stuff (tools, equipment, inventory)
> 
> **1. Sortly** - My default recommendation for most small businesses. Photo-first interface, barcode/QR scanning from your phone, genuinely usable in about an hour. Free tier covers 100 items and 1 user; paid starts around $24/month billed annually. Weakness: no real depreciation tracking, and multi-site movement history is thin.

> 
> **2. AssetTiger** - Best value if you're buying asset tags anyway (they monetize the tags, which is why the software is cheap). Solid check-in/check-out and reporting. Two caveats: the interface is dated, and the old "free up to 250 assets" offer has reportedly become a 30-day trial that reverts to view-only - verify the current terms before you commit.
