What does Hippo CMMS cost at scale?

Eptura does not publish a price for Eptura Asset (formerly Hippo CMMS): both plans are sold per user on an annual subscription, quoted after a conversation with sales. FreeMaint publishes one flat price per company.

Hippo CMMS is now sold as Eptura Asset. Eptura lists two plans, Advanced and Power, as an annual per-user subscription with a one-year minimum and a "Talk to us" button — no public price, no free plan and no trial listed (checked October 2026 on eptura.com/pricing). In Eptura's favour: both plans include Okta SSO, which FreeMaint keeps for Enterprise. Developer APIs, telematics integrations and purchase orders are on Power only.

Why teams switch from Hippo CMMS

A price you can read before a demo

Eptura Asset is priced on request: you talk to sales before you see a number, and you commit to an annual per-user subscription. FreeMaint publishes its prices and you can sign up online, without a credit card, and start on Core for free.

AI on every plan, today

In October 2026 Eptura described its maintenance AI as something it is building, and we found no AI feature listed for Eptura Asset. FreeMaint ships FreeMee AI on every plan — chatbot, photo diagnosis, voice, failure analysis and on-demand predictive analysis — with 100 credits a month on Core and up to 7,500 on Enterprise.

No per-user bill to renew

Eptura Asset is billed per user, on an annual subscription with a one-year minimum. FreeMaint is flat per company — $0 on Core, then $29, $99 or $299 a month — so adding a technician never changes the bill.

Upgrade to Starter ($29 flat) for full HSE, inspection checklists, purchase orders, meter-based PM and the workflow engine, or to Business ($99 flat) for the GraphQL API.

Can I import Hippo CMMS data into FreeMaint?

Yes — if you can export your data to CSV, FreeMaint imports it, and CSV import is free on every plan. If you want hands-on help, our optional Setup & Migration service starts from $500.

Does FreeMaint have a mobile app that works offline?

Yes — native iOS and Android apps with offline mode on every plan, Core included, with QR code and barcode scanning through the camera and FreeMee AI photo diagnosis. Eptura Asset also lists offline work on both of its plans.

What about reporting and KPIs?

Dashboards, standard reports and downtime tracking are on Core, for free. Business ($99 flat) adds advanced analytics, custom dashboards and the report builder.

Does FreeMaint include single sign-on?

Google and Microsoft sign-on, SAML SSO and SCIM provisioning are on FreeMaint Enterprise ($299 flat). Eptura Asset lists Okta SSO on both of its plans, so if SSO is a must-have on a smaller budget, weigh that difference.

Does FreeMaint integrate with Slack and Teams?

Yes — Slack and Microsoft Teams on Enterprise ($299 flat). For everything else there are signed outbound webhooks from Starter ($29 flat) and a GraphQL API on Business ($99 flat), so you can wire FreeMaint into the tools you already run.
