PSD Citywide
- Software Licensing
- Custom quote - not public
- Each Citywide Module
- Licensed separately
- Implementation & Advisory
- Additional services
PSD Citywide does not publish pricing. The platform is structured as six separate products (Citywide Assets, Maintenance, GIS, Budgeting, Permitting, and Spaces), each licensed on its own - so the total cost grows with every capability you add. Implementation and asset management advisory services are typically purchased on top of software licensing through an enterprise sales process.
Why teams choose AssetLab
Where AssetLab goes further than PSD Citywide
One Platform, No Module Stacking
AssetLab capabilities - asset management, CMMS, capital planning, budgets, compliance, contracts, projects - come from one platform on three published plans (capital planning and budgets on AssetLab 360, projects on Enterprise or as an add-on). With PSD Citywide, each of those capabilities is a separately licensed module, and the bill grows with every one you add.
Transparent, Predictable Pricing
AssetLab CMMS from $45 and AssetLab 360 from $65 CAD per user per month, published on our pricing page. Enterprise is quoted, and projects, API keys and SSO are also sold as add-ons, all at listed terms rather than module-by-module negotiation.
Guided Setup, Not Consulting-Led
Request a free trial with no sales call, set up by our team within about a business day, and run a small asset base within days. PSD Citywide grew out of a consulting practice and implementations are typically consultant-led engagements with enterprise sales cycles.
AI Built Into Daily Workflows
Voice dictation in work orders, plus (on Enterprise or with the API keys add-on) a read-write MCP server and REST API so AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT can query assets and manage maintenance in natural language.
Built for More Than Municipalities
PSD Citywide is purpose-built for municipal government. AssetLab serves municipalities too - plus clubs, healthcare, education, property management, and private facilities that need the same rigour without municipal-only workflows.
Modern Interface, Rapid Adoption
Clean, modern UX that field staff adopt quickly without extended training programs. Customers consistently report their teams are productive within days, not months.
