Expert Verdict

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

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
⚖️
Bottom Line
Tractian wins 3 of 12 categories, a clear edge in overall intelligence. UpKeep is the stronger choice if mobile-first cmms is your primary requirement.
