Expert Verdict

UpKeep

UpKeep is the right choice for maintenance teams wanting a proven, mobile-first CMMS with basic IoT sensor integration at published SMB-friendly pricing. Not suitable as a standalone machine health or advanced PdM platform.

💰 Pricing: Essential: $24/user/month · Premium: $55/user/month · Professional and Enterprise by quote · Mobile-first

FactoryWiz

FactoryWiz is the strongest choice for CNC job shops wanting to own their monitoring software outright, keep data on-premise, and avoid perpetual SaaS costs. Not suitable for condition monitoring requirements.

💰 Pricing: $2,195 per machine perpetual license · 0% financing available · Optional annual MSP service fee
⚖️
Bottom Line
UpKeep wins 4 of 12 categories, a clear edge in overall intelligence. FactoryWiz is the stronger choice if perpetual license is your primary requirement.
