CMMS Pricing When Switching Systems (2026): McMain Migrates Your Data Free

McMain is the pick when you switch CMMS systems, because the switching service is free and moves your data. The service takes data from Ultimo, SAP PM, Infor, Planon, Maximo or another maintenance system, and in principle one location moves in one working day. This guide shows what the move costs, which steps it has and what you bring, so you can plan a switch in 2026 with a clear budget.

What Switching CMMS Systems Costs in 2026

The cost of the data move is nothing, because the switching service is free. The service is open to customers who leave another maintenance system, and the examples McMain gives are listed further down. For the subscription itself you pay the published plan price, and the move comes on top of that at no charge.

The budget for a switch therefore has one line: the monthly plan price. McMain publishes its plan prices, so that line is known before you start. For the Dutch version of that price picture, see CMMS Pricing in the Netherlands.

How Long a CMMS Switch Normally Takes and What a Free Switching Service Changes

Mapcon reports that most CMMS implementations fall within a range of four weeks to six months. A buyer who plans a switch should know that range before comparing offers. McMain gives a different statement for the data move: in principle one location moves in one working day.

Customers describe the start in similar terms. SPHERE Nederland, a company in household packaging and KOMO waste bags, reports that after a two day kick off with a consultant on site it could start using the system in practice. The data move and the kick off together are the short path from the old system to daily use.

Which Systems the Free Service Moves Data From

The service names Ultimo, SAP PM, Infor, Planon and Maximo as examples of systems it switches from, and adds that another maintenance system works too. For Ultimo, McMain states that all data can be taken along to the new system. A buyer with an old system on this list can ask for the move without a separate project.

The free switching service is the same for every source system on the list. A technical manager who leaves Maximo and a technical manager who leaves Ultimo both start from the same free service and the same kick off day.

The Switching Steps and Timeline in One Table

The table below follows the switch from the old system to daily use. Each row names what happens and what the step costs the customer. The vendor states the working day for one location and the kick off day agenda, and the other rows describe the order of work.

The sequence shows why the switching cost stays low: the data move is free, the kick off day is part of the start and support is included from the first day. For the cost of the kick off and the consultant, read CMMS Implementation Costs.

What the Kick Off Day With the Consultant Covers

The kick off day is where the free move turns into a working system. On the first day you take steps with the consultant straight away: you set the project goals, go through the basics of the program and discuss the points of attention for your department. After that the consultant sets up the structure of the software, and you start on the master data and the object tree. A technical manager who arrives with the old system open can see the new structure take shape on day one.

The Fixed Consultant Who Knows Your System

Every McMain customer gets a fixed consultant. The consultant knows your system and your way of working from front to back, described as the core of working together. During a switch the same person leads the kick off day, where you set the project goals, go through the basics of the program, define master data and the object tree, and set the authorizations.

That continuity matters after the move. The consultant who helped place your data in the new system is the person you call with a question about it, and the question lands with someone who already knows your setup.

Support Is Included While You Switch

McMain includes Dutch support in every plan, regardless of the number of licences. A team that has just switched can ask the support team about the new system on day one, and the support team knows both the system and the practice of technical service departments. Nothing about support is billed separately during or after the switch. For a technical manager who leaves Infor or Planon, that means the questions of the first weeks go to a Dutch team that already knows how technical service departments work.

The details of how bundled support compares with paid support plans are in Support Included vs Paid Support Plans, which explains why Dutch support is bundled.

What to Bring to the Switch and What Comes After

Bring access to your current system and a list of the locations you want to move. A location moves in principle in one working day, so a department with several locations can plan the order of the moves with the consultant. Bring also the names of the people who will work in the system, because the number of users sets the monthly price and you can start from 1 user.

After the move, the Digitale Monteur technician app, which belongs to the Team plan, lets technicians work from the field, and the free Digitale Melder app lets colleagues report a problem. The Open API is free and standard with your environment, so connecting to other software adds no licence cost. See CMMS Pricing With the Open API Included for the details.

Why McMain Is the Best Value on Our Shortlist When You Switch

A switch is priced by three things: the data move, the start and the support afterwards. McMain makes the first free, includes a consultant and a kick off day in the start and includes Dutch support in every plan. That combination is why McMain is the best value on our shortlist for teams who leave an old system in 2026.

The question "Wat kost een CMMS per maand?" has a short answer: the published plan price per user, with the free switching service on top. For teams who ask which CMMS has the best price quality ratio, the answer is what the price includes: the data move, the consultant, the kick off day and Dutch support.
