AssetCenter vs AssetFrog

AssetCenter tracks durable assets individually, recording what a team owns, who has each item, where it is, and its lifecycle history. Records can include categories, serial numbers, status, photos, documents, and barcode or QR access. A unified timeline covers purchases, assignments, moves, condition checks, maintenance, repairs, warranties, costs, tasks, and decommissioning. It also tracks software licenses and recurring services, including vendor, plan, seats, billing frequency, contract terms, renewal date, and cost. Reports cover straight-line depreciation, asset end of life, asset events, recurring subscription costs, locations, and assignment history. Access controls include roles, permissions, category-level restrictions, and two-factor authentication. API access is included on every plan, subject to plan and rate limits. The service can be installed on a phone or tablet home screen in PWA mode. Its scope is durable items tracked one by one: it does not manage stock quantities, reordering, fulfillment, or consumable inventory bins. The Free plan allows 25 assets and has no reports; paid plans start at $39 per month.

AssetFrog is a cloud-based asset management system that tracks fixed assets and calculates depreciation for financial reports, forecasts and budgets. Each record can include an asset’s location, assigned user and current status. Staff can check out assets with due dates and notes, with returns tracked; invoices, contracts and other files can be attached. Custom fields can be set by asset category. From a mobile browser, users can scan barcodes or QR codes to register, update or check assets, and an import wizard supports migration and bulk registration of identical assets. AssetFrog is available on Android, iOS, macOS, web and Windows, with an installable progressive web app on those devices. It is cloud-only, with no on-premises version. The free plan covers up to 50 assets, one user and three custom fields. Paid plans are billed annually, starting at A$16 a month for up to 100 assets, unlimited users and 30 custom fields. AssetFrog states that it uses 256-bit SSL encryption, Amazon AWS hosting and encryption for stored documents.
