The Tractian alternative with instant signup and a free tier.

Tractian pairs its own vibration and condition-monitoring sensors with a CMMS, sold on custom quote: its CMMS page says "Book a Demo", and sensor pricing depends on the number of assets you monitor (checked October 2026). FreeMaint gives you a full CMMS in 60 seconds — $0 on Core, $29/month flat on Starter, no demo call required — with no hardware to buy.

What does Tractian cost at scale?

Tractian publishes no prices: its CMMS page says "Book a Demo", and sensor pricing is quoted on the number of assets you monitor and the complexity of your operation. We checked tractian.com in October 2026, so there is no list price to put in a table.

Tractian: no public pricing — plans are quote-based ("Get Custom Quote"); its pricing links now lead to condition-monitoring sensor pricing, and its former CMMS pricing page returns a 404. Tractian advertises a price-match guarantee ("Whatever quote you get, we'll beat it by 15%") and says every plan includes AI SOPs, offline execution, multi-site visibility and Condition Monitoring — sensors FreeMaint does not sell. Checked October 2026. FreeMaint: $0 Core, then $29, $99 or $299 per month flat per company.

Why teams switch from Tractian

Start without a demo

Tractian's CMMS starts with "Book a Demo" and a custom quote. FreeMaint is self-serve: sign up in 60 seconds, start free on Core, upgrade when you are ready.

AI without sensor hardware

FreeMaint ships FreeMee AI on every plan — chatbot, photo diagnosis, voice, failure analysis and on-demand predictive analysis — from 100 credits a month on Core to 7,500 on Enterprise. It works on the data your team already records: no hardware to buy or install.

A published, flat price

Tractian is quote-based. FreeMaint publishes $29, $99 and $299 per month, flat per company, whatever the number of users or assets — you know the cost before you sign up.

Frequently asked questions

Is FreeMaint suitable for industrial manufacturing like Tractian?

Yes, if what you need is the CMMS: unlimited assets, work orders, time-based PM and inventory on Core; meter-based PM, the full HSE module and the workflow engine on Starter ($29/month flat). If you want condition monitoring with vibration sensors, that is Tractian's specialty — FreeMaint does not sell hardware.

Does FreeMaint support vibration sensors and IoT like Tractian?

Not with its own hardware: Tractian builds its own vibration and condition-monitoring sensors, FreeMaint sells none. FreeMaint Connect (Business, $99/month flat) receives third-party devices — Shelly energy meters, LoRaWAN current and temperature sensors (Milesight) and any system that can send JSON — with alert rules, including ISO 20816 vibration zones, that can open work orders. No vibration sensor is decoded natively yet: vibration values come in through the HTTP API.

How does FreeMaint pricing compare to Tractian?

Tractian publishes no prices. As of October 2026 its CMMS is sold after a demo, and its sensor pricing is "customized based on the number of assets you want to monitor and the complexity of your operation"; it also promises to beat any competing quote by 15%. FreeMaint is $0 on Core and $29, $99 or $299 per month flat per company — the 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 alongside Tractian as a pilot. When you are ready, migrate via CSV import, free on every plan. For complex migrations, our optional Setup & Migration service starts from $500.

Does FreeMaint have predictive maintenance AI?

Yes — FreeMee AI is included on every plan (chatbot, photo diagnosis, voice, failure analysis, on-demand predictive analysis): 100 credits a month on Core, 500 on Starter, 2,000 on Business and 7,500 on Enterprise. Enterprise ($299 flat) adds a nightly predictive scan of every asset. Unlike Tractian, it works from the data you record, not from sensors.

Is FreeMaint available in Portuguese and Spanish?

Yes — FreeMaint is translated into 18 languages, including Portuguese (Portugal and Brazil) and Spanish. Prices are in USD, flat per company.

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 paused: we are not taking on new self-hosted installations, and would rather say so than sell one we could not support well. FreeMaint runs in the cloud only, hosted by OVH in France (EU), with no choice of hosting region.
