Keeping track of equipment and other assets means accounting for identification, custody, and location. Compare barcode and QR code scanning with check-in/check-out and GPS location tracking, and consider whether mobile apps suit the way updates are made. Asset limits offer a capacity measure, while free-plan availability and paid-from pricing help with cost comparisons. Prey, Shelf, and AssetTiger are among the options, with Reftab and MapYourTag also included. Think about how many items you need to track and which listed capabilities matter for your work, then weigh the entries against those needs.
52 asset tracking software ranked on what their makers publish — plans and prices, free tiers, platforms and the facts on their own pages.
