AssetFrog vs MeltX FAM

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.

MeltX FAM is fixed asset management software for asset-heavy Indian organisations. It keeps a controlled register from procurement and tagging through maintenance, verification, and disposal. Assets can be identified with barcode, QR, or RFID tags; Android field teams can verify them, capture geo-tagged photographs, work offline, and synchronize later. The system calculates depreciation under Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013 and maintains a separate block-of-assets working under the Income Tax Act 1961. Maintenance functions include preventive schedules, work orders, breakdown and repair records, and warranty or maintenance-contract expiry alerts. Transfers, reassignments, impairments, and disposals can use role-based approvals, with field-level history retained. FAM exchanges asset masters, capitalization entries, and depreciation postings with finance systems, with integration scope confirmed during discovery. It shares asset records with MeltX ITAM, ITSM, Property Management, and Fleet Management. Deployment options are on-premise, State Data Centre, or India-hosted cloud. MeltX describes encryption, multifactor authentication, role permissions, immutable audit trails, and certifications including ISO 9001:2015 and ISO/IEC 27001:2022. Platforms are Android and web; pricing is available on request.
