Compare
Most equipment software falls into one of three buckets: a CMMS, a fleet tool, or an enterprise EAM system. Torgix is Equipment Intelligence, built to do the useful parts of all three, with cost and parts connected. Here is an honest look at how it stacks up.

Head to head
Fleetio is a well-regarded fleet maintenance platform, strongest for on-road and mixed vehicle fleets. Torgix is built for equipment-intensive operations and adds true cost of ownership and built-in parts ordering that Fleetio leaves to integrations.
UpKeep is a popular mobile-first CMMS for general maintenance teams. Torgix covers the same work orders and preventive maintenance, is purpose-built for equipment cost visibility, and prices flat instead of per user.
MaintainX is a highly rated CMMS with broad adoption and a free tier. Torgix focuses on equipment-intensive operations, with cost-of-ownership tracking and integrated parts that a general CMMS does not provide.
Limble is a well-liked CMMS known for ease of use. Torgix does the same maintenance management and adds asset cost intelligence and parts procurement, with unlimited users and pricing by fleet size.
Fiix is an established CMMS, now part of Rockwell Automation, strong in manufacturing reliability. Torgix is built for mobile equipment across field industries, with parts ordering and cost analysis included.
IBM Maximo is enterprise EAM with deep capability and a matching implementation effort. Torgix delivers the asset lifecycle and cost visibility most operators need, without the enterprise project or per-seat cost.
Tenna, now a John Deere company, pairs construction equipment software with its own tracking hardware, and added telematics-based job costing in 2026. Torgix is independent and telematics-agnostic with no hardware to buy, takes cost intelligence to the repair-replace-or-rent decision, and serves more industries than construction alone.
HCSS Equipment360 is a capable heavy-construction maintenance system. Torgix offers a faster start, flat pricing, and parts ordering built in rather than added on.
eMaint is a long-standing CMMS from Fluke Reliability. Torgix covers the same maintenance management and adds equipment cost intelligence and a built-in parts catalog.
Clue is a fast-moving, telematics-agnostic construction equipment product with cost reporting and an AI assistant. Torgix matches that architecture and adds published flat pricing, a 1.4M+ parts catalog in the work order, rental revenue, and coverage across marine, environmental services, and aviation.
Samsara is a connected-operations platform built on its own telematics and camera hardware. Torgix is software-only Equipment Intelligence with maintenance, true cost, and rental built in, and no hardware or multi-year contract, and it works alongside the telematics you already run.
Quipli is modern equipment-rental software for rental yards. Torgix is built for operators who maintain their own equipment and also rent some out, adding full maintenance, preventive scheduling, parts, and true cost of ownership alongside a rental module.
Common questions
Watch the comparison
Real product screens. Figures shown are illustrative demo data. Prices approximate as of August 2026.
01 · Search for the best CMMS for heavy equipment and most of what you find is a vendor's own blog ranking itself first. This video is made by Torgix, one of the products in this comparison, so read everything with that in mind. Our promise is simple. Every product here is the right answer for somebody, and we will tell you which somebody, including for the products that compete with ours.
02 · First, what makes heavy equipment different. Four things. Machines run on engine hours, not calendar months, so preventive maintenance has to trigger on hours. Maintenance happens in a yard or on a jobsite, so it has to work on a phone. Fleets are mixed brands, so it has to pull from whatever telematics you run. And parts sourcing is half the battle. Keep those four in mind.
03 · Fleetio. A well regarded fleet platform, priced per vehicle at published rates, roughly four to ten dollars per vehicle per month as of August 2026. For on road and mixed vehicle fleets it is a strong choice with a big integration ecosystem. Where it fits less well is off road equipment economics. Cost of ownership lives in reports rather than driving decisions, and parts ordering is not built in. Best for on road and mixed vehicle fleets.
04 · MaintainX and UpKeep. Popular, mobile first, priced per user. MaintainX is polished, has a free tier a small shop can genuinely start on, and Autodesk announced a three point six billion dollar acquisition of it in May 2026, so ask about the roadmap. UpKeep has pushed hardest on AI with its Nova assistant, and it is worth asking whether AI usage is metered on your plan. For both, the heavy equipment caveats are the same. General maintenance tools, no per asset cost engine at the core, no built in parts, and per user pricing that grows with your crew. Best for general maintenance and facilities teams, or a very small shop starting free.
05 · Limble. The review quality leader in the category, with the highest ratings at meaningful volume, and customers genuinely like it. Its core strength is manufacturing and facilities. Fleet and construction are secondary, pricing is quote based, and there is no cost of ownership engine or built in parts. Best for manufacturing and facilities teams who want the most loved traditional CMMS.
06 · Samsara and Tenna bundle their own hardware. Samsara is the telematics heavyweight and added a real maintenance suite in 2026. Tenna is construction only, built by contractors, and is now a John Deere company. Deere has committed to keeping it mixed fleet, and it is fair to ask in the demo how that neutrality holds up if you run other brands of iron. Both are quote priced. Best for operations that want hardware and software from one vendor. And Clue, the one most people have not heard of. Telematics agnostic, equipment economics, conversational AI, construction focused, quote gated, small review base. Philosophically the closest to how we think.
07 · And Torgix. Built for equipment intensive operations in construction, marine, environmental services and aviation. Work orders, hour based preventive maintenance and inspections like a CMMS. What is different is the combination. True cost of ownership per asset drives repair, replace, or rent out decisions. A catalog of over one point four million parts is built into the work order through the Discount Equipment integration, and we will be straight with you, Discount Equipment's chief executive is a partner in Torgix, which is exactly why that parts loop exists. A rental revenue module for operators who rent equipment out. The AI is included with no add on fee, grounded in your own records, and it proposes while you approve. Pricing is published, sized by fleet, starting at ninety nine dollars a month with unlimited named users. The honest trade offs. Torgix is young, so the third party review base is small, and there is no native GPS hardware by design. Best for equipment intensive operators who want cost, maintenance and parts in one system at a published price.
08 · Whatever you pick, take three questions into every demo. Can it show cost per hour for one machine, today, without a spreadsheet export? When a work order needs a part, what are the exact clicks to get it ordered? And what is the all in price at your real headcount in year three? The answers separate marketing from software faster than any comparison video, including this one. The full written comparison is linked below. Torgix.
