Atlas CMMS vs NEXT CMMS

Atlas CMMS helps maintenance teams plan interventions, manage equipment and support compliance. Teams can create, assign, prioritize and track work orders, preventive maintenance and service requests. Asset records can hold custom fields, parent-to-child hierarchies, QR codes, maintenance logs and sensor connections; the stated capacity ranges from 10 to 1,000,000 assets. Preventive schedules can recur daily, weekly, monthly or yearly, or run from events or meter readings. Inventory tools include low-stock notices, automatic usage tracking, barcode lookup, cost reports and usage forecasting. Android and iOS apps let technicians view assigned work, start work orders, get notifications and look up asset information. The product can be cloud-hosted, self-hosted or deployed in a hybrid model. It is described as open source; its project repository identifies AGPLv3 alongside a commercial license for white labeling, custom branding and advanced features. The free Basic plan includes unlimited work orders, custom tasks, unlimited Request User Licenses and asset management. Paid plans start at $10 a month per user. The 15-day trial is for internal evaluation, not production or commercial use.

NEXT CMMS combines work orders, preventive maintenance, asset management, spare parts inventory, and reporting for maintenance teams. Teams can create, assign, prioritize, document, and close work orders with labor, parts, photos, and root-cause notes in one record.

Technicians can use phones and tablets for updates, checklists, asset context, photos, and proof of work. Built-in AI consultants assist with workspace configuration, data import, and the first work order; tenant-authorized users review consequential changes. A documented, tenant-scoped API includes in-product key management, with REST connections described for purchasing, sensors, BI, and automations. The Free plan is free and does not expire; new accounts get 14 days of Team access before choosing whether to continue on Free or move to a paid plan. Starter costs $49 a month and Pro costs $99 a month. The product is available on Android, iOS, web, Windows, and through API access.
