## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-09 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## My picks, in order
> 
> **1. Sortly** - the default recommendation for most small businesses. Photo-based, mobile-first, barcode/QR scanning, and genuinely usable by non-technical staff in an afternoon. Free tier for 1 user, then roughly $49/mo (Advanced) → $149/mo (Ultra) → $299/mo (Premium), with user seats bundled per tier. One warning: advertised prices often reflect a first-year promo, so expect renewal to jump. ([Sortly pricing](https://costbench.com/software/inventory-management/sortly/))
> 
> **2. EZOfficeInventory** - the best balance of price and depth if you need real asset *management*, not just a list: check-in/check-out, maintenance schedules, depreciation, reservations, audits. Entry pricing around $40/mo makes it the cheapest serious option of the mainstream trio. ([Asset Panda vs EZOfficeInventory](https://resources.rework.com/tools/asset-management/asset-panda-vs-ezofficeinventory))
> 
> **3. Snipe-IT** - if your assets are laptops, phones, monitors, and software licenses, this is what I'd actually use. Open source and free if you self-host (cloud hosting is paid), with license tracking, asset assignment to employees, a REST API, and 2FA. Rated 4.4/5 on Capterra. Requires
