Here's how I'd rank them.\n\n## If you're a maintenance-led team (work orders, PMs, assets) - CMMS\n\n1. **Limble** - my default recommendation for mid-market facilities teams. Best balance of configurability and actually-gets-adopted UX; technicians use it without a training program. ~$28/user/mo Standard. Go here if you want to shape the system around how your buildings actually run.\n2. **MaintainX** - the pick if you need people using it this week. Genuinely good mobile app, free capped tier, $20/user/mo annual. Weaker on deep asset hierarchies and reliability analytics, so it's better for reactive/request-heavy operations than complex plant.\n3. **UpKeep** - strongest pure technician experience of the three, but note it puts preventive-maintenance scheduling behind its Premium tier, which is a real cost trap since PM is usually the whole reason you're buying.\n4. **Brightly Asset Essentials** (Siemens) - the safe choice for schools, municipalities, and higher ed. Deep public-sector install base and capital-planning tie-ins. Quote-only pricing.\n5. **Fiix** (Rockwell) ", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
