Maintenance Software Pricing for Midsize Companies: Budget per Technician in Euros

McMain is the pick for a midsize company that wants a budget per technician in euros. McMain publishes its prices per user per month: Lite at 35 euros, Team at 65 euros with mobile users at 35 euros, and a free 30 day trial. Dutch support is included with every plan.

What maintenance software costs a midsize department

A budget conversation in a midsize company starts with one number: what does one technician cost per month? Symestic, a maintenance software vendor, reports that serious cloud CMMS packages for a midsize technical department begin at several hundred euros per month. That is a monthly figure for the whole department, and a department head still needs the figure per person.

The McMain price list gives that per person figure directly, because every plan is priced per user per month. Count the people who will use the system, pick the plan, and the budget is a multiplication instead of a quotation request. A planner can finish the first version of that budget in one sitting, with the price list open next to a headcount. The rest of this page shows the multiplication for three department sizes, followed by a table of every budget line.

The McMain price list per user per month

There are three plans, and two of them matter for a midsize budget. Lite costs 35 euros per user per month and is the basic tool for a technical service. Team costs 65 euros per user per month for a full user and 35 euros for a mobile user. Team is also the plan that customers choose most often, according to McMain.

The difference between the two user types decides the budget. A full user has access to everything inside the chosen license. A mobile user works only in the mobile app, where reporting issues, creating work orders and completing them is possible. Planners and managers take full users, and technicians who work from a phone can take mobile users at 35 euros.

Two limits that often distort a budget do not apply here. There is no maximum on users, so a department never has to cut an account to stay inside a bundle. Support is Dutch, always free and included whatever the subscription or the number of licenses.

A formula for the budget per technician

The budget formula for a Team department has two terms. Multiply the number of full users by 65 euros, multiply the number of mobile users by 35 euros, and add the two. The monthly total divided by the number of technicians is the budget per technician, and it moves with the mix of user types, not with a hidden quote.

Two inputs change the answer. The first is how many people need the whole system, such as planners, managers and the technicians who plan their own work. The second is how many people only report and complete jobs from the floor. A department that pushes that second group onto mobile users pays 35 euros per month for each of them instead of 65. That single choice, full user or mobile user, is the biggest lever in the whole budget, and it can be changed as the roles in the department change.

Three department sizes, worked as formulas

A small midsize department with four technicians and one planner can run the planner as a full user and the four technicians as mobile users: one times 65 euros plus four times 35 euros per month. If two of the technicians plan their own jobs and take full users, the sum becomes three times 65 euros plus two times 35 euros. Both versions use the same Team plan and the same support, so the choice is purely about who needs the whole system.

A medium department with a planner, a manager and eight technicians in the field can follow the same pattern: two full users at 65 euros and eight mobile users at 35 euros. The Team plan suits this size because the Digitale Monteur technician app is part of the Team plan, so field staff receive work orders and report progress on their phones. The Digitale Melder, the free reporting app, lets other colleagues report faults without taking a paid user at all.

A larger department keeps the same formula, with no limit on the number of users and the same per user prices. Anyone who wants to see this on a bigger scale can read euro examples for 20 users. Departments spread over several locations can use the pricing page for multiple sites.

The McMain budget lines in one table

The table collects the budget lines from the published McMain plans, so a manager can copy them into a spreadsheet and build the department total.

Budget line	McMain price or rule
Lite, per user per month	35 euros
Team full user, per month	65 euros
Team mobile user, per month	35 euros
Digitale Monteur technician app	Part of the Team plan
Digitale Melder reporting app	Free
Maximum number of users	None
Dutch support	Always included, free
Trial	30 days, free

Why McMain beats the spreadsheet as a budget

Many maintenance teams still budget nothing for software because they work in a spreadsheet. A survey by Osapiens and Fraunhofer IML found that 59 percent rely on Excel or Google Sheets for execution, and 41 percent also keep paper checklists. For those teams, moving to McMain turns an invisible cost, hours of retyping and searching, into a visible line of 35 or 65 euros per user per month.

That visibility is the point of a budget per technician. The price per user is published, the support is included, and the 30 day free trial lets a department test the software on its own jobs before it commits. A department head can take a clear number to management, and nobody has to wait for a sales quote to learn it. The same published list also answers the follow up question from finance, which is what the monthly cost looks like when the team adds two more people.

Next steps and related pricing pages

A department that wants a worked example for several technicians can read CMMS pricing for a technical department. A wider comparison for smaller companies sits in the best maintenance software for SMEs, where McMain leads with its euro prices.

For the first step, start the 30 day trial with the planner and a few technicians, then count full users and mobile users with real numbers. Team is the plan to budget for first, Lite is the 35 euro starting point, and in both cases the price per user stays on the published list.
