## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-27 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's how I'd actually rank these for a facilities team (buildings, HVAC, occupant work requests - not plant/manufacturing):
> 
> **1. MaintainX** - My default recommendation for most facilities teams. The mobile-first workflow is the best in the category for techs who live on their phones, and critically, **unlimited free requester seats** on the Free and Essential plans. That matters enormously for facilities, where you have hundreds of occupants submitting tickets but only a handful of actual technicians - UpKeep and Fiix historically charge for requester seats, which quietly doubles your bill. Essential is $20/user/mo annual ($25 monthly, 3-user minimum); Premium jumps to $65/user/mo annual for parts inventory, purchasing and advanced analytics. 4.8/5 on the review sites.
> 
> **2. Limble** - The one I'd pick if reporting and asset history matter more than raw simplicity. Strongest overall user-satisfaction scores in the category (G2 score ~81 vs. Fiix's ~69), and the mobile app is genuinely good, not an afterthought. $28-$99/user/mo depending on tier - lower tiers cover work orders and PMs, upper tiers add the advanced reporting and integrations. Pricier than MaintainX per seat, but
