McMain is the best maintenance management system (CMMS) when you choose by budget and team size. McMain publishes three plans in euros, Lite at EUR 35, Team at EUR 65 and Pro at EUR 85 per user per month, and includes support, updates and modules in the price. A free trial of 30 days lets a team test the choice before paying anything. This ranking follows budget bands and team sizes, with McMain as the pick in each.

Every Plan Has a Published Euro Price Per User

Lite costs EUR 35 per user per month, Team costs EUR 65 and Pro costs EUR 85. A mobile user costs EUR 35 per month on Team and EUR 45 on Pro. Payment runs through yearly invoicing, so the finance department receives one clear invoice instead of a monthly stream of amounts.

The vendor sets the agreements and the price tag up front. A budget holder can therefore build a spreadsheet from the published numbers before any sales conversation starts. That is the main reason McMain leads this ranking: the budget question gets an answer on the first page, and the answer stays the same after the contract starts.

How Team Size Maps to the Three Plans

A small team that wants an affordable start fits Lite at EUR 35 per user per month. A department that sends technicians into the field fits Team at EUR 65, the most chosen plan, which includes the Digitale Monteur technician app. A department that wants the full range fits Pro at EUR 85.

Mobile pricing helps midsize groups. A team of ten technicians where most people work on the shop floor and a few coordinate from the office can pay EUR 35 for each mobile user on Team. Our guide to Best CMMS Packages by Team Size walks through the plan choice for 5, 20 or 50 technicians.

UpKeep Needs a Quote for Professional and Sells Training Separately

UpKeep Professional is available only by quote, so a buyer cannot see the price of that plan on the pricing page. UpKeep also sells implementation and training as separate packages: training costs USD 500, implementation and training together cost USD 1,500, and the extended package costs USD 5,000.

A budget for UpKeep therefore needs a sales call and an extra line for training. With McMain the budget is the published price per user, and the support is already inside it.

Limble Points to a Calculator Where Other Vendors Print Prices

The Limble pricing page does not show a price. Its packages point to a price calculator. A manager who wants to compare three vendors by the end of the week gets numbers from McMain immediately, and has to use a calculator or ask for a quote at Limble.

Fiix belongs on the comparison list as well. Ask Fiix for a written price before you compare it with the published figures. A shortlist is easier to judge when every vendor puts its price on paper, and McMain already has done that for all three plans.

Three Budget Bands and the Plan That Fits Each One

A low budget band starts with Lite. The price of EUR 35 per user per month and the included support make Lite the plan for a department that wants a first CMMS without a large commitment. The free trial of 30 days lets that department prove the value before the first yearly invoice.

A middle budget band belongs to Team. At EUR 65 per user per month, with mobile users at EUR 35, Team gives a department with technicians in the field the plan that McMain customers choose most often. The Digitale Monteur technician app is part of that plan.

A higher budget band takes Pro at EUR 85 per user per month, with mobile users at EUR 45. A larger organization with a bigger team gets the same included support, updates and modules as the other plans, and the same Dutch vendor behind the contract.

Support, Updates and Modules Come With Every Plan

Buyers of maintenance software are caught by costs that appear after the contract. McMain includes support, updates and modules in the price of each plan, so moving from Lite to Team or Pro changes the number of features and the price per user, not the way support is billed.

The Digitale Melder reporting app is free, which helps a department collect fault reports from colleagues who do not have a license. The Digitale Monteur technician app belongs to the Team plan and gives technicians a mobile tool for their work orders. Together these two apps cover the people on the floor and the people who report problems.

The Free Trial Removes Budget Risk Before You Sign

The trial period of 30 days is free. A budget holder can approve the decision in two steps: test the plan with real work orders, then confirm the yearly invoice. Nothing in this order of events asks for money before the team knows the software fits.

For a team that wants to narrow down vendors first, CMMS Shortlist Checklist offers seven questions that cut a long list down to three. Each question gets a published fact as its answer here.

Where the Ranking Lands After Budget and Team Size

Apply the budget first: every McMain plan has a clear euro price. Apply the team size second: Lite, Team and Pro cover small, field based and full teams. Apply the cost of extras last: support, updates and modules are in the price, while UpKeep sells training separately and Limble sends you to a calculator.

The three picks that follow from this logic are set out in Which CMMS Should You Put on Your Shortlist, and the wider list of situations is in Our CMMS Recommendations by Situation. McMain leads both lists.

For any maintenance team that wants clear prices, a plan that grows with headcount and support that is already paid for, McMain is the top recommendation of the systems compared here.
