Free CMMS for every industry

FreeMaint Core adapts to your sector — manufacturing, healthcare, hospitality, local government, real estate or education. Core features stay free; advanced modules (HSE, inspections, vendors) unlock on paid tiers, from Starter.

Manufacturing & industrial SMBs

Production sites (assembly lines, presses, conveyors, compressors) record every breakdown, repair and part used against the machine it concerns: that history is what makes MTBF and MTTR measurable. Time-based preventive maintenance is included in Core; meter-based triggers (hours, cycles, kWh) unlock on Starter. A QR code on each machine opens its record and history from a phone.

Key features

  • • Unlimited multi-technician work orders
  • • PM scheduling with post-completion rebase
  • • Spare parts inventory + low-stock alerts
  • • Offline mobile app for field technicians

Hospitals, clinics & biomedical

Medical-device follow-up and hospital accreditation both rely on a per-asset intervention history. FreeMaint Core keeps unlimited history at no cost. The Starter tier adds periodic inspections and approval workflows (sign-off by a biomedical referent); the Business tier adds calibration management and e-signature.

Key features

  • • Unlimited per-device intervention history
  • • Referent approval workflows
  • • Periodic inspections (Starter+)
  • • Calibration management (Business+)
See the dedicated page →

Hotels, resorts & F&B

HVAC, plumbing, electrical, common areas: front-desk and floor staff report a fault by scanning the room QR code, no account needed. The request reaches the technical manager, becomes a work order on the technician’s phone and is closed with a photo, ideally before the next guest checks in.

Key features

  • • Multi-channel requests (web, QR, mobile)
  • • Real-time notifications for the tech team
  • • History by room and zone
  • • Several properties in one account
See the dedicated page →

Cities, councils & public services

Municipalities and school districts manage diverse assets: buildings, parks, street lighting, public mobility. A QR-code public request portal lets citizens report a fault on street furniture; the request lands directly in the technical services queue. No per-user fee — the whole team accesses Core at no extra cost.

Key features

  • • Public reporting portal (QR + web)
  • • Unlimited users on Core (free)
  • • Building → floor → room hierarchy
  • • PDF / Excel export for reports (Starter+)
See the dedicated page →

Real estate & property management

Property managers and landlords track interventions by building, floor and unit. Core handles the asset inventory (elevators, boilers, HVAC, alarms), schedules regulatory inspections (fire extinguishers, water-damage controls) and coordinates with external vendors (via the Starter+ Vendors module).

Key features

  • • Multi-level hierarchy (building / unit / asset)
  • • Regulatory inspection calendar
  • • Vendors & purchase orders (Starter+)
  • • Time-stamped intervention photos (insurance proof)

Schools, colleges & universities

Schools and campuses maintain labs, workshops, IT rooms and dormitories. Faculty and staff submit requests from any device, sorted by building and criticality. The annual preventive maintenance plan (fire extinguishers, alarm systems, defibrillators) runs at no extra cost on Core.

Key features

  • • Requests sorted by building & criticality
  • • Automated annual PM plan
  • • Standard dashboards and reports
  • • Unlimited faculty & staff seats (Core)

FAQ

Is FreeMaint really free?

The Core tier is free forever — unlimited users, work orders and assets, no trial period, no credit card. Paid tiers (Starter $29, Business $99, Enterprise $299/mo flat per company, not per user) unlock advanced features like vendors, workflows, SSO and Slack/Teams integrations. Most small and mid-size teams stay on Core indefinitely.

What is a CMMS?

A CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System) is software that helps organisations manage maintenance operations, track assets, schedule preventive maintenance and manage work orders efficiently.

Are there user limits?

No. Every tier — including the free Core tier — allows unlimited users. Pricing is flat per company, never per user.

How does FreeMaint compare to SAP, Maximo or UpKeep?

FreeMaint Core delivers the same work order, asset and preventive maintenance basics as SAP PM, IBM Maximo, UpKeep and Fiix, free of charge. Advanced features (vendors, workflows, SSO, Slack/Teams integrations) live in our paid tiers, priced flat per company rather than per user — so the price does not grow with every technician you add.

What is the best free CMMS in 2026?

In side-by-side benchmarking, FreeMaint Core has the most generous free-tier limits: unlimited users, work orders, assets and time-based PM. MaintainX's free Basic plan has usage caps (limited recurring work orders, procedures and analytics), Fiix's free plan allows only a limited number of users, and UpKeep and Limble offer no free plan at all. Advanced modules sit in paid tiers Starter $29 / Business $99 / Enterprise $299/mo flat per company.

Is there a free CMMS for small business?

Yes — Core is built for small teams. Unlike tools that charge per user per month, Core stays free regardless of company size. Teams of 2–10 technicians use it as their primary CMMS without ever upgrading.

Is there a free CMMS mobile app?

Yes. FreeMaint includes a free mobile app for iOS and Android and a fully responsive web app. Technicians can scan QR codes, log work orders and update assets from the field.

Do I need to download CMMS software?

The CMMS itself needs no installer — sign in from any browser, no IT setup. What you can download free are the CMMS Excel template, the preventive maintenance guide and the mobile app for iOS and Android. Self-hosted/on-premise exists for regulated industries (HIPAA, ISO, GMP), but new deployments are currently paused.
