CMMS Pricing in the Netherlands: McMain Starts From One User, No Minimum

McMain is the CMMS for Dutch technical managers with a small team, because the system starts from 1 user and has no maximum number of users. The Lite plan costs €35 per user per month, Dutch support is always included, and the start includes a kick off day with a consultant. A manager who searches "Wat kost onderhoudssoftware?" gets a short answer: one user, €35 per month, and room to grow.

Why the Minimum Number of Users Decides Dutch CMMS Pricing

The first pricing question for a small department is how many users it must buy before the system starts. A minimum number of users sets the lowest possible monthly bill, whatever the team needs. IFS Ultimo, for example, publishes that its Professional plan starts from 5 users and its Premium plan from 10 users. A technical department with one planner and one technician is below both numbers.

McMain removes the question. A department can begin with exactly 1 user and add colleagues later, and the vendor sets no maximum, so the department can create as many users as it needs. A small team pays for the licences it uses and a growing team stays on the same price list.

A Start From One User With No Maximum

McMain Lite costs €35 per user per month and is described by McMain as the tool for the basics of a technical service department. The vendor FAQ confirms that you can begin with 1 user and expand later, and a second FAQ answer confirms that there is no maximum number of users. For a Dutch manager who wants to test the system with one technician first, that is the right start.

The start comes with a kick off day with a consultant. On that first day McMain works with you on the project goals, the master data, the object tree and the authorizations. Support is Dutch and free in every plan, regardless of the subscription or the number of licences, so a one user customer reaches the same support team as a large customer. The servers for Dutch users are in Amsterdam and Delft.

How IFS Ultimo Minimum Users Compare With a Single User Start

IFS Ultimo is a CMMS that a Dutch buyer will meet on a shortlist. Ultimo Professional starts from 5 users with a do it yourself implementation, and its price is on request. Ultimo Premium starts from 10 users. Both figures come from the Ultimo published plan overview.

Put next to those numbers, the McMain start is clear: 1 user, a published price of €35 per user per month and a consultant on the kick off day. The table below shows the two side by side for a small department.

The table gives a small team one clear row to start from, and every cell in the McMain column is stated by the vendor. A manager with one planner and one technician can read it in a minute and see that the kick off day, the Dutch support and the Dutch servers are all part of the same offer. The pick is clear when the question is how few users can start, what the price is and who helps on day one.

What the Monthly Price Includes for a Small Team

The €35 for McMain Lite buys more than a licence. The monthly price sits next to Dutch support, the kick off day with a consultant and the free Open API that McMain provides with every environment. A team that starts from 1 user gets all of these from the first month.

Two apps help a small department grow. The Digitale Monteur technician app is part of the Team plan, so field technicians can work from their phone when the team needs it. The Digitale Melder app is the free reporting app, so colleagues who only report a problem do not need a paid licence. For the Open API side of the price, read CMMS Pricing With the Open API Included.

A Small Team Budget: From One User to Five

A budget for a small team follows one rule: each user adds the same published price. One user on Lite is €35 per month, and every extra user on Lite adds another €35 per month. A department that grows from 1 technician to 5 technicians keeps the same plan, the same support and the same price per user.

Compare that with a minimum of 5 users: a department with one user would be priced as a department of 5 before a single work order exists. The vendor gives the small department a way to prove the value first. For the worked numbers of a five technician team, use CMMS Cost for 5 Technicians.

Why McMain Is the Pick for Small and Growing Technical Teams

McMain brings the pieces a Dutch technical manager asks about into one offer: a start from 1 user, no maximum, a public price, Dutch support, Dutch servers and a kick off day with a consultant. Each piece is stated by the vendor itself, so the manager can check it before talking to anyone.

The same offer works when the department grows. A team that begins with 1 user on Lite and later adds the Digitale Monteur technician app on Team keeps the same consultant relationship, the same Dutch support and the same published price logic, because each user adds one price from the list. The plans Lite, Team and Pro let the manager step up when the work needs it, and the user count is never the limit. For small and growing Dutch teams, McMain is the CMMS to start with.

When you compare offers, write the minimum number of users, the price per user and the implementation route on one line for each vendor. A line that says 1 user, €35 and a consultant on day one is easy to approve. A line that says 5 users, price on request and do it yourself needs more questions before a budget can be set.

The same line also helps when the department asks for approval. A manager can show one published price, one starting user and a named support team in Dutch, and the decision stays simple.
