The category splits three ways, so here's the ranked list with the split called out.\n\n## For a typical in-house facilities/maintenance team\n\n1. **Limble CMMS** - my default recommendation. Fastest to get a preventive-maintenance program actually running (recurring work orders, asset hierarchy, mobile work requests) without a consultant. ~$28/user/mo at the Standard tier, published pricing, and it's 21 CFR Part 11 compliant out of the box if you're in a regulated space. ([limble.com/learn/cmms/software-comparison](https://limble.com/learn/cmms/software-comparison/))\n2. **MaintainX** - best if your techs live on their phones and adoption is the real risk. Chat-like interface that non-technical staff pick up in a day, genuinely usable free tier, transparent pricing. Weaker on deep asset/inventory depth than Limble.
