Frequently asked questions

Is FreeMaint suitable for industrial manufacturing like Tractian?

Yes — FreeMaint serves SMB and mid-market industrial teams with unlimited assets, PM, HSE, LOTO, meters, multi-site, API integration for IoT data. For very large industrial sites with proprietary sensor hardware, Tractian has specialized offerings. For most mid-sized factories, FreeMaint fits at a fraction of the cost.

Does FreeMaint support vibration sensors and IoT like Tractian?

FreeMaint does not sell hardware sensors. However, our REST API (Starter $29 flat, 10k/day) accepts sensor data from any IoT platform, PLC, or SCADA — you keep your existing hardware and pipe data into FreeMaint for work order automation and predictive alerts.

How does FreeMaint pricing compare to Tractian?

Tractian is custom enterprise pricing, usually $50-100/asset/month or $1,000-10,000/month minimums per site. FreeMaint is $29/$99/$299/month flat per company — same price whether you have 50 or 500 assets.

Can I replace Tractian with FreeMaint mid-contract?

FreeMaint Core is free forever so you can run it in parallel with Tractian as a pilot. When you are ready, migrate via CSV import. Our Implementation Sprint service ($999-$4,999) handles complex migrations.

Does FreeMaint have predictive maintenance AI?

Yes — FreeMee AI is included on every plan (photo diagnosis, voice-to-WO, failure analysis), free on Core with higher monthly allowances on paid tiers. Enterprise ($299 flat) adds Predictive Failure AI fine-tuned on your historical data, daily CEO brief, and industry benchmarking.

Is FreeMaint good for LATAM / Brazil like Tractian?

Yes — FreeMaint supports Portuguese (PT and PT-BR), Spanish, and 15 other languages natively. Flat pricing in USD is particularly attractive in LATAM where per-user pricing becomes prohibitive fast.

Does FreeMaint integrate with an ERP like SAP or Oracle?

Through our API, not through a pre-built connector — and we would rather be straight about the difference. There is no SAP or Oracle connector to buy from us. What we ship is a GraphQL API on Business ($99 flat) and signed outbound webhooks from Starter ($29 flat), including a part-consumed event carrying a signed quantity and a stock movement id for idempotency, which is what an integrator actually needs to mirror inventory into an ERP.

Self-hosted option for data sovereignty?

Not right now — on-premise deployments are currently paused — we are not taking on new self-hosted installations, and would rather say so than sell one we could not support well. It is a pause, not a closure: if you have a hard requirement (air-gapped network, data-sovereignty mandate) we will add you to the waitlist. The cloud version is the same software, hosted in the EU (France). Historically deployed via Docker Compose on your infrastructure. Supports air-gapped networks, HIPAA, GDPR, ISO 27001, Active Directory, internal SSO.
