## The answer, as recorded

> # Best maintenance management software for facilities teams
> 
> Here's who I'd actually name, roughly in the order I'd bring them up:
> 
> **1. Limble** - My default recommendation for most facilities teams. Highest-rated CMMS on Capterra (4.8/5), and it hits the sweet spot: technicians actually use the mobile app, but you still get unlimited asset hierarchy, flexible PM scheduling, and reporting deep enough for a real capital-planning conversation. Starts around $28/user/month. Pick this if you want one tool that won't need replacing in three years.
> 
> **2. MaintainX** - Same 4.8/5 rating, but a different philosophy: mobile-first, optimized for adoption speed over configuration depth. Starts around $16/user/month and has compliance tooling built in. This is what I'd recommend if your team is resistant to software, you're replacing clipboards and group texts, or budget is tight. Caveat: shallower asset management than Limble.
> 
> **3. FMX** - If you're a school district, university, church, or municipality, start here instead of the generic CMMS pack. It's the only one that bundles work orders and PM with **facility scheduling and event management** - which is most of the job in those settings
