Here's who I'd actually name:\n\n**Start here (cheap or free)**\n\n1. **AssetTiger** - free for up to 250 assets, with barcode/QR scanning, check-in/out, maintenance schedules and depreciation. For most small businesses under a few hundred assets, this is the obvious first stop, and paid tiers scale by asset count rather than per user. ([tech.co](https://tech.co/asset-tracking/best-fixed-asset-tracking-software))\n2. **Snipe-IT** - the default if your assets are laptops, phones, monitors and software licenses. Open source and free self-hosted with unlimited assets and users; their managed hosting starts at $39.99/mo (Small Business tier $99.99/mo) if you don't want to run a server. Strong on user assignment, audits and procurement.
