> # Best maintenance management software (CMMS) for facilities teams
> 
> Here's how I'd rank them for a facilities/building maintenance team specifically (as opposed to a manufacturing plant):
> 
> **1. Limble CMMS** - My default recommendation for most mid-sized facilities teams. It swept G2's Winter 2026 CMMS Index at #1 for usability, implementation, and relationship (40+ awards), rated 4.8/5. Strong asset hierarchy depth and AI-assisted PM scheduling. Trade-offs: more upfront setup time, ~$28/user/mo at Standard, and reviewers cite weaker reporting customization and no native GIS/mapping.
> 
> **2. MaintainX** - Pick this if fast tech adoption matters more than configuration depth. Built mobile-first like a consumer app, so techs actually use it without training. Also 4.8/5 on G2. Free Basic tier, $16/user/mo Essential, $49/user/mo Premium (adds parts inventory, POs, meter-based maintenance). Known gaps: mobile-vs-desktop feature parity, and Enterprise pricing climbs fast.
> 
> **3. FMX** - The strongest fit if you're a school district, university, municipality, or church/campus. It's purpose-built around facilities workflows - room scheduling, event setup requests, and work orders in one syste
