Hippo CMMS Is Discontinued.
Here's Your Alternative.
Hippo CMMS was retired as a standalone product in 2025, and its remaining customers are being directed to migrate to Eptura Asset. Since you have to move your data somewhere anyway, it's the right moment to re-evaluate - especially if you originally chose Hippo for its Canadian roots.
AssetLab is a Canadian-built platform with full asset lifecycle management, FCI tracking, PIPEDA-aligned privacy practices, and transparent published CAD pricing.
What Hippo's Retirement Means for Its Users
Every remaining Hippo customer now faces a migration. These are the factors former Hippo users weigh when choosing where to go:
The Product Is Retired
Hippo CMMS was retired as a standalone product in 2025. Its features were folded into Eptura Asset, and remaining Hippo customers are being directed to migrate. Staying put is not an option - the only question is where you land.
Data Residency Uncertainty
Hippo CMMS was originally a Canadian company based in Vancouver. After the Eptura acquisition, headquarters moved to Atlanta, USA. Canadian data residency is no longer guaranteed - a critical concern for regulated industries.
No Published Pricing to Compare
Hippo's old Lite, Plus, and Pro tiers were quote-only, and Eptura Asset - the migration path - is also priced by custom quote. There is still no way to evaluate what the move will cost without a sales process.
No FCI Tracking
Hippo CMMS does not offer Facility Condition Index tracking or forecasting. Facilities teams cannot calculate building condition scores, track portfolio-wide FCI trends, or build defensible capital plans from asset data.
No Capital Planning Tools
There are no built-in tools for strategic capital planning, replacement forecasting, or long-term budget modeling. Organizations managing multi-year capital programs need separate tools or spreadsheets.
Limited Reporting Capabilities
Reporting in Hippo is basic compared to modern CMMS platforms. Custom report building, scheduled report delivery, and advanced analytics require workarounds or third-party integrations.
A Forced Migration Either Way
Moving from Hippo to Eptura Asset is still a migration - new interface, new workflows, retraining, and data transfer. If you have to do that work regardless, it is worth comparing destinations first.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happened to Hippo CMMS?
Hippo CMMS was acquired by iOFFICE in 2019, became part of Eptura in the 2022 merger, and was retired as a standalone product in 2025. Its features were folded into Eptura Asset, and remaining Hippo customers are being directed to migrate there. Along the way, headquarters moved from Vancouver, Canada to Atlanta, USA - so the Canadian data residency many customers originally signed up for is gone.
How much does Hippo CMMS cost?
Hippo CMMS is no longer sold, so there is no current Hippo pricing. Historically its Lite, Plus, and Pro tiers were quote-only - rates were never published. Eptura Asset, the product Hippo customers are migrated to, is also priced by custom quote. By comparison, AssetLab publishes its pricing: CMMS at $45 and 360 at $65 CAD per user per month.

No - and since Hippo's retirement forces a migration anyway, the switching effort is sunk either way.

Most teams are fully operational within 2-4 weeks.
