MapYourTag vs Reftab

MapYourTag helps field teams track physical assets by scanning QR codes, NFC tags, barcodes, or custom IDs. Scans can record check-ins and check-outs, maintenance requests, comments, and photos, with customizable fields for different workflows. Asset records support custom attributes and scan history; teams can locate assets on a map and set expiry or maintenance alerts. A smartphone is sufficient, with no dedicated scanner or other hardware required. The service runs on web, Android, and iOS, and provides an API and webhook syncing to connect asset data with other tools. The free account supports up to 10 assets without a credit card or time limit. Pro is listed at $49 a month monthly, or $44/month billed annually, for 100 assets. MapYourTag also offers a free trial. It does not provide real-time geolocation: a location is recorded when someone scans a tag with a GPS-enabled phone.
