Expert Verdict

AssetWatch

AssetWatch is the right choice for organizations requiring expert-validated vibration monitoring with minimal internal expertise. The CME support model is genuinely differentiated. Weigh the subscription-only commercial terms carefully.

💰 Pricing: 30-day trial: $199 one-time, including installation of up to 200 sensors · Ongoing subscription priced per sensor, not publicly disclosed · Hardware, installation and monitoring bundled into the monthly fee

Tractian

Tractian is the right choice for mid-market and enterprise organizations wanting a single, integrated platform for maintenance management and condition monitoring. Per-user pricing is a barrier for smaller teams.

💰 Pricing: CMMS Standard: $60/user/month (5-user minimum, billed annually) · Enterprise: $100/user/month (10-user minimum) · Bundle with condition-monitoring sensors: custom quote
⚖️
Bottom Line
Tractian wins 4 of 12 categories, a clear edge in overall intelligence. AssetWatch is the stronger choice if vibration specialist is your primary requirement.
