Maintainly vs NEXT CMMS

Maintainly is a computerized maintenance management platform for preventive and reactive work orders, asset tracking, inventory, people, and analytics. Work orders can capture photos, meter readings, files, downtime, and other metrics. Preventive tasks can run on time-based schedules or meter readings, including triggers when readings exceed defined thresholds. Asset features include flexible hierarchies, QR labels, maintenance history, and geolocation tracking for movable assets.

Native iOS and Android apps support requesting, planning, assigning, and tracking work orders, and the platform is also available on the web. A REST API supports integration with ERP, business intelligence, analytics, and other software; usage is limited to 100 requests per minute for personal access tokens and third-party apps. Every plan includes live in-app chat, AWS hosting, dual-location backups, and SSL encryption. The Free plan includes unlimited work orders and mobile access. Small Business costs $12 per user / month, and Enterprise costs $24 per user / month. Timesheets and inventory are listed as separate add-ons at 5.00 USD and $7 per user / month, respectively. A 14-day trial is listed. The maker says it has elected not to be SOC 2 compliant at this stage.

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. Maintenance can be scheduled by calendar or meter, with checklists and completion tracking across sites and teams. 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. Its maker says security controls align with SOC 2 principles, but the product is not SOC 2 certified or audited.
