Before you choose
Compare the ways to try it
A free plan and a free trial are different ways to evaluate software. Check what is included in the plan and how long a trial lasts before deciding which fits your needs.
For example, AssetTiger lists a 30-day trial, while AssetCenter lists a free plan and a 14-day trial. Listed starting prices vary, so check the plan details before comparing costs.
Check the platforms you need
Confirm that the software supports the devices and systems your team uses. Android availability matters if you want to work from a Galaxy phone or tablet; also check for web, iOS, Windows, API or self-hosted options if relevant.
Match tracking tools to your workflow
Compare barcode and QR code scanning, check-in/check-out and GPS location tracking. Choose based on how you need to identify assets, record handoffs and locate them.
Review asset limits
Check the asset limit for the plan you are considering, along with its price. A free plan may be a useful starting point, but confirm that its limit suits your inventory before you commit.
Check the licence if you need the code
If you need to read or change the code, check the software's licence and hosting requirements. Asseto is listed as open source; the licence details can help you decide whether it fits your needs.
