AssetLab vs PSD Citywide
Two Canadian asset management platforms, two very different models. PSD Citywide sells a suite of six separately licensed modules (Assets, Maintenance, GIS, Budgeting, Permitting, Spaces) with quote-based enterprise pricing and consulting-led implementations. AssetLab delivers asset management, CMMS, capital planning, and compliance in one product - every feature included in a single per-user subscription.
An honest, side-by-side comparison to help you choose the right platform.

PSD Citywide Pricing
- Software LicensingCustom quote - not public
- Each Citywide ModuleLicensed separately
- Implementation & AdvisoryAdditional 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
One Platform, One Price - No Module Stacking
Every AssetLab capability - asset management, CMMS, capital planning, budgets, compliance, contracts, projects - is included in one subscription. With PSD Citywide, each of those capabilities is a separately licensed module, and the bill grows with every one you add.
Transparent, Predictable Pricing
$65 CAD per user per month, published on our pricing page. No custom quotes, no per-module negotiations, no surprises at renewal when you need one more capability.
Self-Serve, Not Consulting-Led
Start a free trial today and be operational in 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-to-text and photo-based work order creation, plus 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.
