## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-06 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Short answer: it depends mostly on *what* you're tracking - IT/laptops, physical tools & equipment, or inventory/stock. Here's who I'd actually name, in order:
> 
> **1. Sortly - best default for most small businesses.** Photo-first catalog, QR/barcode labels you print yourself, genuinely good mobile app, and a free tier to start. It's the one non-technical teams actually keep using after month three. Weak spot: real per-plan cost climbs once you need multiple users (paid plans start around $49/mo). Best for equipment, supplies, and stock-ish assets.
> 
> **2. AssetTiger - best if budget is the deciding factor.** Free for your first 250 assets, and that's a real free plan, not a crippled trial. Covers check-in/out, depreciation, warranty dates, maintenance reminders. Paid tiers start around $120/yr. Dated interface, but unbeatable price-to-capability for a shop with a few hundred items.
> 
> **3. Snipe-IT - best for IT assets (laptops, phones, software licenses).** Free and open source if you self-host; about $39/mo or $399/yr hosted if you'd rather not run a server. Purpose-built for assigning hardware to employees, license seat counts, and audit trails - exactly what you want before an insur
