## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-17 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> "Facility management software" splits into two different products, and picking the wrong category is the most common expensive mistake. If your job is work orders, PMs, and keeping assets running → **CMMS**. If it's space, leases, desks, and a real estate portfolio → **IWMS**. Here's who I'd actually name.
> 
> ## If you're a maintenance-driven facilities team (most people asking this)
> 
> **1. MaintainX** - my default recommendation for small-to-midsize teams. Best mobile app in the category by a clear margin, technicians actually use it without training, and the free tier is genuinely usable so you can pilot before spending anything. Essential is $20/user/mo annually, Premium $65. Catch: inventory and some PM depth are gated behind Premium, so price the tier you'll really need, not the one on the landing page.
> 
> **2. Limble** - the one I'd pick if you care about reporting and want strong implementation support. Consistently top-rated on G2 alongside MaintainX, and the cheapest of the big three at scale (~$8.4K/yr for 25 techs vs ~$14.7K for MaintainX Premium). No free plan, and AI predictive maintenance is Enterprise-only.
> 
> **3. eMaint (Fluke)** - go here when you have compliance and aud
