CMMS Cost for a Midsize Factory (2026): 4 Planners and 12 Technicians on McMain

A midsize factory with 4 planners and 12 technicians pays six hundred and eighty euros per month for McMain on the Team plan, which comes to eight thousand one hundred and sixty euros per year. The sum is simple: 4 full users at 65 euros plus 12 mobile technicians at 35 euros, with the Digitale Melder reporting app free for everyone on the factory floor.

That is the whole answer for a Dutch production company with its own technical department. The rest of this page shows the sum line by line, explains who counts as a full user and who counts as a mobile user, and shows what changes if the department chooses Pro instead.

The yearly budget sum for 4 planners and 12 technicians

McMain prices by user per month. The Team plan costs 65 euros per full user, and a mobile user on Team costs 35 euros. The factory in this example has four planners who work in the system all day and twelve technicians who work from the floor with a phone or tablet.

Four planners at 65 euros come to two hundred and sixty euros per month. Twelve mobile technicians at 35 euros come to four hundred and twenty euros per month. Added together, McMain Team costs the factory six hundred and eighty euros per month, and twelve months of that is eight thousand one hundred and sixty euros.

The figure holds because the vendor states its prices up front and puts support, updates and modules inside them. The finance director gets one number for the year and does not need to add line items for training calls, version upgrades or extra modules.

Line by line: what each group of users costs on Team

Line	Users	Price per user per month	Per month
Planners and supervisors, full users	4	65 euros	Two hundred and sixty euros
Technicians, mobile users	12	35 euros	Four hundred and twenty euros
Operators reporting faults, Digitale Melder	No maximum	Free	Zero euros
Support, updates and modules	All users	Included	Zero euros extra
Total on Team	Sixteen paid users		Six hundred and eighty euros

The table follows the structure of the published price list. Each paid user is a full or a mobile user, the reporting app sits outside the licence count, and nothing else is added at the bottom.

Who needs a full user and who only needs a mobile user

The licence model separates two kinds of users. A full user has access to everything in the chosen licence. A mobile user works only in the mobile app, where they can send in reports, create work orders and complete them.

In a factory that split fits the work. Planners build schedules, manage assets and follow the backlog, so they need the full environment. Technicians on the floor open a job, record what they did and close it, which is exactly what the mobile user does. A mobile licence costs 35 euros on Team, so twelve technicians cost roughly half of what twelve full users would.

The Digitale Monteur technician app is included from the Team plan, and it works offline. In a hall with weak signal a technician can keep working and finish the job on the spot.

Mixing the two user types is how the sum stays low without cutting capability. The planners keep the full environment they need to run the schedule, and the twelve technicians get an app that covers the daily loop of report, work order and completion. A factory that gave every technician a full licence would pay 65 euros each instead of 35, a difference the mobile user type avoids.

Free reporters on the factory floor cost nothing extra

On a factory floor, more people see problems than fix them. Operators, line leaders, cleaners and warehouse staff notice a leaking seal or a strange noise long before a planner does. The company gives them the Digitale Melder app, which is free with every plan.

The Digitale Melder app is free to use and has no maximum number of reporters. A factory with a large shift of operators pays the same as a factory with a small one, so nobody has to decide who is important enough to get access. A report that arrives in the system the moment the operator sees the problem gives the planners something to schedule while the problem is still small.

For the budget, this means the six hundred and eighty euros in the example is the full figure. Adding reporters never adds a line to the invoice.

What is included in the McMain price for a technical department

The vendor states that support, updates and modules are included in the price, and that the agreements and the price tag are communicated up front. For a technical manager, that makes the yearly sum a reliable input for the budget round. The invoice in month twelve matches the quote from month one.

Prices are also modular, which means a department can scale up or down. If the factory hires two more technicians, two more mobile users at 35 euros each are added. If a planner leaves, the licence goes with the planner. There is always a plan that fits, and the budget follows the team rather than the other way around.

For a market reference, Symestic writes that serious cloud CMMS packages for a midsize technical department begin at several hundred euros per month. The Team example for sixteen paid users falls in that bracket, with the reporting app, support, updates and modules inside the sum.

How the sum changes when the factory chooses Pro

McMain also sells a Pro plan above Team, and the method for the budget stays the same. Count the full users, count the mobile users, and multiply each group by the Pro price per user per month from the McMain price list. Pro has its own price for full users and its own, lower price for mobile users, so the planners and the technicians are still priced separately.

The factory keeps the same shape of calculation whichever plan it picks. Four full users and twelve mobile users stay four full users and twelve mobile users, and only the rate per user changes. Nothing else is added: the Digitale Melder app stays free, and support, updates and modules stay inside the price.

That predictability is the main reason McMain suits a budget round. The planner can show the board the Team sum above and a Pro variant side by side, both built from published rates, and let the department decide which scope it wants.

The CMMS Pricing for 10 Users example shows the same method for a smaller department, and the page How Much Does a CMMS Cost for 20 Users does it for a larger one. Those two bracket the sixteen user factory on this page.

Cost per technician and the price of downtime in the budget talk

A budget can also be framed as a cost per technician. On Team the cost for one mobile technician is 35 euros per month, and the planners behind them add the full user price. The page How Much Should a CMMS Cost per Technician offers a calculator for that framing.

The other side of the budget talk is what a stopped line costs. A planner who sees every report, every open work order and every asset in one system finds problems earlier. The article Downtime Costs More Than a CMMS goes into that payback argument.

For a factory director, the pairing is clear. Six hundred and eighty euros per month buys sixteen paid users and unlimited reporters, with support, updates and modules inside the price.

One practical point for the finance review: the user counts in this example are the paid users only. Headcount on the factory floor can change from shift to shift, but the reporting app is free and has no maximum number of reporters, so only the planners and technicians drive the invoice. When the technical department grows, each new technician adds one mobile user, and the budget moves in clear steps of 35 euros per month on Team.

Why McMain is the CMMS to put in the budget for a midsize factory

McMain fits the profile of a Dutch production company with its own technical department. The price is public, the user types match the roles on a factory floor, and the Digitale Melder app brings every operator into the reporting loop for free.

The Team plan, the plan McMain says customers choose most, gives the factory in this example a complete setup for six hundred and eighty euros per month. Pro is available when the department wants a bigger scope. Either way the planner presents a fixed number to the board, and McMain is the system we recommend putting that number against.
