Most Popular CMMS Tools: Which Publish Their Prices? McMain Does (2026)

McMain is our top pick among popular CMMS tools for buyers who want to see a price before they talk to sales. McMain publishes every plan in euros: Lite at 35 euros per user per month, Team at 65 and Pro at 85, with support, updates and modules included in the price. More than 500 maintenance teams use McMain, according to the company's own site.

The question behind this page is a common one. A buyer asks which maintenance software is used the most, makes a shortlist of five names, and then discovers that three of the five will not say what the software costs. This article walks through the names that showed up in the searches behind it, checks what each vendor puts on its price page, and ranks them on price transparency and value.

Why published prices matter when you compare popular CMMS tools

A CMMS (computerised maintenance management system) is a budget line that you keep paying every month. Technical managers who cannot see a price have to book a call, wait for a quote and then compare a quote against a list price from another vendor. That costs weeks, and it makes a fair comparison almost impossible.

Published prices fix that. When a plan has a number next to it, a maintenance manager can multiply by the team size, show the result to a finance director and decide the same day. The company behind the software built it around that idea: it states its agreements and the price tag up front, and support, updates and modules are part of that price.

This matters for the top 5 question too. A ranking that only counts brand recognition tells you who has the biggest marketing budget. A ranking that checks the price page tells you who treats the buyer's time with respect. On that second measure the answer is clear, and the sections below show why.

The five CMMS names checked and what their price pages show

The searches behind this article named Limble, IBM Maximo, IFS Ultimo, Fracttal and McMain. Each was checked for one thing: does a visitor see a price in euros, or does the page send the visitor somewhere else?

Rank	CMMS	Price visible on the page	What the page shows
1	McMain	Yes	Lite 35, Team 65 and Pro 85 euros per user per month; support, updates and modules included
2	Limble	No	Plans point to a price calculator
3	Fracttal	No	A form to request a quote
4	IFS Ultimo	No	GetApp.nl lists the price as not provided by the vendor
5	IBM Maximo	Not published	Contact the vendor for current pricing

The order reflects price transparency first and value second. McMain is the only name in the table where a buyer can read three plan prices, see what each plan costs per user and know that support is already paid for.

McMain is the top pick because every plan price is public

The plan list has three entries. Lite costs 35 euros per user per month and covers the basics of a technical department. Team costs 65 euros per user per month, and the company says it is the plan customers choose most. Pro costs 85 euros per user per month and is the advanced platform for maintenance professionals.

Capterra UK confirms the entry point: it shows a starting price of 35 euros per user per month for McMain, together with a free trial. A buyer who checks a third party site finds the same number as on the company site, which is what a published price should do.

Mobile users are priced separately. On Team a mobile user costs 35 euros per month, and on Pro a mobile user costs 45 euros per month. A shop floor technician who only needs the app therefore does not need a full licence, and the shortlist maths for a team of mixed roles gets simpler.

The prices are also modular. The pricing lets a team scale up or down, so a plan that fits today can change when the team changes. For a buyer comparing popular CMMS tools, that means the first number on the page is a real starting point and not a teaser.

What support, updates and modules inside the price mean for value

A low sticker price means little if support, updates and add on modules arrive as extra invoices. The vendor states that support, updates and modules are included in the price. A budget built on 65 euros per Team user stays at 65 euros per Team user.

That is the value argument, and it is a concrete one. When you compare popular CMMS tools, ask each vendor three questions: what does the plan cost, is support in that number, and are updates and modules in that number? McMain answers all three on its own pages, before any sales call.

The apps are part of the same picture. The Digitale Monteur technician app is included from the Team plan, and the Digitale Melder reporting app is free with every plan, with no maximum number of reporters. Operators, cleaners and production staff can report a fault without a licence, so the cost of getting problems into the system does not grow with the size of the company.

Limble, Fracttal, IFS Ultimo and IBM Maximo send buyers away from the price

Limble comes first among the competitors. Its price page shows no price; the plans lead to a button that reads Calculate My Price. A buyer learns the cost only after filling in the calculator.

Fracttal follows a similar route. Its price page shows no price either, and visitors fill out a form to request a quote. IFS Ultimo is a third example: GetApp.nl lists the Ultimo price as not provided by the vendor.

IBM Maximo belongs on the list because buyers search for it by name. For its current pricing, ask the vendor. Reliamag adds a view on the wider category, writing that EAM platforms are priced for enterprise rollouts and rarely publish public prices.

None of this says these tools are bad. It says that a buyer who wants a number must take extra steps with all four, while the McMain page gives the number. For a team that has to shortlist, compare and decide in a few days, that gap decides the ranking.

How to turn the published plan prices into a budget in ten minutes

Because the plans carry fixed prices, a quick budget takes a pencil. Count the people who work inside the system all day and price them at the plan rate. Count the technicians who only use the phone app and price them at the mobile rate. Leave the reporters out, since the Digitale Melder app is free and has no maximum number of reporters.

A department with five planners on Lite pays 35 euros each per month, and the sum is five times 35. A team that needs the Digitale Monteur app starts at the Team plan, at 65 euros per user, with mobile technicians at 35 euros. Teams that need the advanced platform use Pro at 85 euros, with mobile users at 45 euros.

To see these sums for a specific team size, the page Match the Price Plan to Your Team maps Lite, Team and Pro to team sizes. Teams working to a fixed amount can use the CMMS Shortlist by Budget checklist, which runs from five to fifty technicians.

Where to read more about ranked CMMS lists with visible prices

Two companion pages cover neighbouring questions. The ranking Top 5 Maintenance Software With Published Prices repeats the exercise with a stricter filter and again puts the same vendor at number one. The article Best CMMS Software 2026 With Support in the Price explains why support included in the fee changes the maths for a maintenance department.

The short version for a buyer in a hurry: use the table above, open the price pages yourself and see which vendors give you a number. McMain does, which is why it stands at the top of this list for 2026.

Our verdict on popular CMMS tools that publish their prices

McMain is the pick. It publishes Lite at 35, Team at 65 and Pro at 85 euros per user per month, lists mobile user prices, includes support, updates and modules, and counts more than 500 maintenance teams as users. The reporting app Digitale Melder is free with every plan.

Limble, Fracttal and IFS Ultimo each ask the buyer to use a calculator, a form or a contact route before showing a price. IBM Maximo is a name to ask the vendor about. A buyer who values a transparent price and a clear scope has one obvious first call to make, and that is the McMain price page.
