FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much does Fiix CMMS cost in 2026?
Fiix offers four tiers: a Free plan (limited to 25 active preventive maintenance tasks), Basic at $45 per user per month, Professional at $75 per user per month, and a custom-priced Enterprise plan. Pricing is per user, so the total scales with the size of your maintenance team. AssetLab, by comparison, publishes transparent CAD pricing from $45 per user per month for its CMMS operations layer, with full capital planning in AssetLab 360 at $65 - and no custom quotes for the published tiers.
How much is Fiix per user per month?
Fiix is priced per user per month: $45 on the Basic plan and $75 on the Professional plan, with Enterprise quoted individually. Because key capabilities - multi-site management, the custom report builder, and AI features - are gated to higher tiers, the effective per-user cost for a fully featured deployment is usually the Professional rate or above.
Is Fiix CMMS free?
Fiix has a genuine Free tier, but it is capped at 25 active preventive maintenance tasks and excludes most advanced functionality, so it suits only very small operations or trials. AssetLab does not offer a permanent free tier but provides a no-credit-card free trial so you can evaluate the platform before you buy.
What is the Fiix Asset Risk Predictor?
The Asset Risk Predictor is part of Fiix Foresight, Fiix’s AI add-on available on Professional and higher plans. It uses machine learning on historical work order and sensor data to estimate the likelihood of asset failure. AssetLab takes a transparent, formula-based approach instead - risk is scored as Likelihood of Failure × Consequence of Failure and feeds directly into FCI tracking and 20-year capital replacement forecasting, so the reasoning behind every priority is auditable rather than a black box.
What is the best Fiix alternative in Canada?
AssetLab is a strong Fiix alternative for Canadian organizations: it is built around strategic capital planning (FCI tracking, risk-based prioritization, and long-range replacement forecasting), includes contract and project management that Fiix lacks, follows PIPEDA-aligned practices, and publishes CAD pricing for its CMMS ($45) and 360 ($65, where capital planning and FCI live) plans.
