## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-03 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## My picks
> 
> **1. AssetTiger** - where I'd start if you just want to know what you own and where it is. The hosted tier is genuinely free up to 250 assets (paid tiers scale by asset count, not users), does barcode/QR scanning from a phone, check-in/check-out, maintenance reminders, and depreciation. For most small businesses this is enough, and the price makes it a no-risk trial.
> 
> **2. Sortly** - the best option if your assets are physical things you need to *see*: tools, equipment, stock, props. Photo-first visual folders, QR label generation, mobile app that works offline. Around $49/mo for the entry paid tier (2 users), scaling to ~$299/mo. Non-technical staff pick it up in an afternoon.
> 
> **3. Snipe-IT** - my pick for tracking laptops, phones, and software licenses specifically. Open-source and free if you self-host; official hosting runs roughly $100/mo or ~$400-1,000/yr depending on tier. Handles the IT lifecycle well (assignment to employees, license seats, warranty expiry). Needs someone comfortable with a server if you self-host.
> 
> **4. Asset Panda** - the step up when you've outgrown the simple tools. Fully configurable fields and workflows, strong mobile apps, good audit t
