## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-24 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> "Best" splits by what your team actually spends its day on - work orders and assets, or space, leases and workplace. Here's who I'd actually name, in order:
> 
> ## If maintenance and work orders are the job (most facilities teams)
> 
> **1. Limble CMMS** - My default recommendation for an in-house FM team of roughly 3-50 technicians. It's the one that consistently gets adopted rather than abandoned: technicians will actually use the mobile app, QR-code asset scanning works, and PM scheduling is straightforward to set up without a consultant. Roughly $28/user/month entry, up to ~$69-75 for the top tier. Pay for it per technician only - requesters should be free.
> 
> **2. MaintainX** - The best value and the easiest sell to a skeptical team. Cheapest serious entry point (~$16-20/user/month annually, and a free tier that's genuinely usable for a small site), built mobile-first, and it works well for mixed crews including non-desk staff. Slightly weaker than Limble on deep asset hierarchies and reporting. Pick this over Limble if budget is tight or your use case is more "checklists and requests" than "asset lifecycle."
> 
> **3. Brightly Asset Essentials (Siemens)** - What I'd name if you're K-12, h
