## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-02 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Short version: "facility management software" splits into three different product categories, and picking the wrong one is the main way teams waste money. Here's who I'd actually name, in order.
> 
> ## If you're a maintenance-first team (work orders, PMs, assets)
> 
> **1. MaintainX** - my default recommendation for most teams under a few hundred users. Genuinely good mobile app, technicians actually adopt it, and the pricing is public: $20/user/mo on Essential (annual), $65 on Premium, plus a free tier with unlimited work orders. It has the highest overall user rating in Capterra's FrontRunners FM report. Start here unless you have a specific reason not to.
> 
> **2. Limble** - the closest competitor and arguably better on asset hierarchies, preventive maintenance depth, and QR-code workflows. Standard runs ~$28/user/mo, Premium+ ~$69. The catch: everything is quote-based, nothing published. Worth a demo head-to-head with MaintainX.
> 
> **3. UpKeep** - third of the three ($24 Essential, $55 Premium). Fine product, but I rarely see it win a bake-off against the other two anymore. Include it if you want a third quote for leverage.
> 
> ## If your problem is space, desks, floor plans, and moves
> 
> **4.
