Why teams switch from Coast
7 days of visible history is not enough
On Coast Free, work orders older than 7 days drop out of view — hidden, not deleted, and restored when you upgrade. Trend analysis and audits need the whole record. FreeMaint Core keeps your full work order history visible, free forever.
A full CMMS on the free plan
FreeMaint Core includes unlimited work orders, assets, time-based PM schedules, parts and inventory, and the mobile app with offline mode. Starter ($29 flat) adds full HSE, meter-based PM and the workflow engine.
Flat pricing at every tier
Coast prices its paid plans per user: Starter is $25/user/month and Pro $65, billed yearly. A 30-person team is $750/month on Coast Starter, or $1,950 on Pro. On FreeMaint the same team pays $29 to $99 a month, flat.
