AssetFrog vs Bassets eDepreciation

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.
