Beyond Visual Inventory. GPS, CMMS & Field-Ready.

MapTrack is the best Sortly alternative for field teams who need GPS tracking, maintenance, compliance and 150+ telematics, fleet and fuel-card data sources. Per-asset pricing with unlimited users.

Teams outgrow Sortly when they need real-time GPS location, work orders, pre-start inspections and OEM telematics that a visual inventory app does not provide. MapTrack combines tracking, compliance and maintenance in one platform built for construction, mining and fleet operations.

The best Sortly alternative depends on whether your items stay on a shelf or go out to work. Small businesses counting stock and keeping simple asset lists can stay with a visual inventory app such as Sortly. Teams that need a configurable office and IT asset register can compare Asset Panda, or MapTrack, which also tracks field equipment. Teams whose tools, plant and vehicles move between sites and crews should compare asset-first systems such as MapTrack, where every asset carries its GPS location, bookings, inspections and service history. Inspection-first teams can also compare SafetyCulture. Sortly’s own strength is a simple, photo-first inventory app with QR and barcode check-in and check-out, a free plan for 100 items, and paid plans capped by item count with bundled user licences. MapTrack is the best Sortly alternative for field teams who need GPS tracking, maintenance, compliance and 150+ telematics, fleet and fuel-card data sources. Per-asset pricing with unlimited users replaces item-capped plans for construction, mining and fleet operations. MapTrack is one platform for every asset a field business runs: tools, plant, trailers and vehicles tracked with QR, barcode and Data Matrix labels, Bluetooth tags, GPS trackers and AI dash cams, with bookings, inspections, maintenance and parts on one record.

MapTrack publishes this page and is one of the alternatives discussed. Based on Sortly’s public documentation, pricing pages and named third-party reviews as of 27 Oct 2026; confirm current features and pricing with each vendor and in a pilot. Where a capability is not confirmed in public sources we mark it as not publicly confirmed, not absent. Spotted something out of date? Email corrections@maptrack.com.

What is Sortly?

Sortly is a visual inventory management app designed for small businesses, home organisation and simple asset lists. It uses a photo-first interface where items are displayed as visual cards, making it intuitive for non-technical users managing personal belongings, retail stock or small office supplies.

Sortly offers QR code and barcode scanning for check-in/check-out workflows. Pricing is tiered by item count: a Free plan covers 100 items, Advanced at $49/month billed monthly ($24/month annual in the first year) covers 500 items, Ultra at $149/month billed monthly ($74/month annual in the first year) covers 2,000 items, Premium covers 5,000 items and Enterprise covers 10,000+ items. User licences are bundled per tier (rising from 1 to 12+ as you move up), not sold as per-seat add-ons. The platform targets retail, home and small office environments.

Sortly does not include GPS tracking, work orders, pre-start inspections, compliance workflows or OEM telematics integrations, though it tracks maintenance and repair schedules with date-based alerts. It is an inventory management tool, not a field-grade asset tracking platform. Teams in construction, mining or fleet operations typically need capabilities Sortly does not provide.

Why teams look for a Sortly alternative

Sortly works well for simple visual inventory. Teams typically look for alternatives when their needs go beyond basic item management:

Live location, not just a list

Sortly does not document GPS tracking, geofencing or real-time location on its own pages, so treat it as not publicly confirmed rather than absent. MapTrack integrates GPS trackers (incl. ultra long-life battery) for live asset location, trip history and geofence alerts across job sites.

Work orders, not just reminders

Sortly can schedule maintenance and repairs through date-based alerts on a custom date field, per its own features page. What it does not publicly document is a work-order module. MapTrack includes a built-in CMMS with OEM telemetry-driven triggers, preventive maintenance and inspection-to-work-order escalation.

Compliance evidence on the asset

Sortly does not publicly document pre-start inspections, safety checklists or audit trails. MapTrack attaches compliance evidence to each asset with AI-assisted form creation and failed-check escalation to work orders.

OEM telematics, not manual entry

Sortly does not publicly document telematics integrations; the ones it lists are QuickBooks Online, Slack, Teams, Amazon Business US, webhooks and an API. MapTrack connects 150+ telematics, fleet and fuel-card data sources (Caterpillar, John Deere, Komatsu, Geotab, Samsara and more) for automated maintenance triggers from live engine data.

Item caps limit scaling

Sortly caps items per plan: 100 free, 500 on Advanced ($49/mo), 2,000 on Ultra ($149/mo), 5,000 on Premium, 10,000+ on Enterprise. User licences are bundled per tier, so adding users can also push you up a tier. MapTrack scales with per-asset pricing and unlimited users, no hard item ceilings.

Offline field work, not just stock levels

Sortly offers Offline Mobile Access on every plan, including Free, but its help centre says offline mode updates inventory levels only, with changes pushed when sync is turned back on. MapTrack is built mobile-first with offline support standard on all plans. Scan, complete forms and record work-order results without connectivity, syncing when back online.

Which platform fits your team?

Pick the persona that sounds most like you. The recommendation reflects where each platform is strongest.

The home or small office organiser

Are you tracking personal belongings, home inventory or a small office supply closet?

Consider staying on Sortly. Its visual inventory approach, photo-first interface and free tier are well suited for personal and small-scale inventory management where GPS, maintenance and compliance are not needed.

The field operations lead

Do you manage tools, plant and equipment that move between construction, mining or field sites?

Choose MapTrack. GPS trackers, 150+ telematics, fleet and fuel-card data sources, offline mobile, pre-starts, compliance and per-asset pricing with unlimited users are built for mobile assets across multiple sites.

Learn more →

The fleet or equipment manager

Do you need maintenance scheduling, work orders and automated service triggers from live engine data?

Choose MapTrack. OEM telematics feed engine hours and fault codes directly into maintenance triggers. Sortly can schedule maintenance through date-based alerts, but does not publicly document work orders or telemetry-driven triggers.

Learn more →

The compliance or safety manager

Do you need pre-start inspections, safety checklists and audit trails attached to each asset?

Choose MapTrack. Pre-starts, inspections, certificates and evidence attach to each asset record. Failed checks auto-trigger work orders. Sortly does not publicly document inspection or compliance workflows.

How MapTrack compares to Sortly

Which has GPS tracking?

MapTrack has GPS trackers for real-time location. Sortly does not publicly document GPS.

MapTrack integrates GPS trackers, including ultra long-life battery units, for real-time asset location on a map, trip history and geofence-based entry/exit alerts. BLE beacons add proximity detection in sheds and laydown areas. Sortly does not publicly document GPS tracking, geofencing or real-time location; what it documents is QR and barcode check-in/check-out and organising items by location. For teams needing to locate tools, plant and equipment across job sites, MapTrack provides integrated location capabilities and you should confirm the current Sortly scope with them directly.

Which has maintenance and CMMS?

MapTrack has built-in CMMS with telematics triggers. Sortly schedules maintenance via date-based alerts.

MapTrack includes built-in CMMS with work orders, preventive maintenance, meter-based triggers powered by live OEM telemetry (engine hours, odometer, fault codes) and inspection-to-work-order escalation. Sortly is a visual inventory app that tracks maintenance and repair schedules with date-based alerts, but has no work orders, service tracking or CMMS capabilities. If your assets require condition-based maintenance or work order management, Sortly does not cover this.

Which handles compliance and pre-starts?

MapTrack attaches pre-starts and compliance to each asset. Sortly does not publicly document compliance.

MapTrack keeps compliance evidence attached to each asset: pre-starts, inspections, certificates and audit trails. Failed inspection items auto-trigger work orders. The AI form builder lets you create inspection forms by uploading a PDF or describing what you need. Sortly does not have pre-start inspections, safety checklists, compliance workflows or audit trails. For regulated industries where compliance evidence is required, MapTrack provides the workflows Sortly lacks.

Which connects OEM telematics?

MapTrack connects 150+ telematics, fleet and fuel-card data sources. Sortly does not publicly document any.

MapTrack connects 150+ telematics, fleet and fuel-card data sources in its integration directory, including Caterpillar, John Deere, Komatsu, Geotab, Samsara and Verizon Connect, to ingest engine hours, odometer, fuel consumption, fault codes and DTC alerts. This data powers automated maintenance triggers and geofence-based utilisation reporting. Sortly does not publicly document telematics integrations and positions itself for inventory management rather than connected equipment.

Which pricing model scales better?

MapTrack uses per-asset pricing with unlimited users. Sortly uses item-capped tiers.

MapTrack charges per asset with unlimited users included. Every operator, supervisor and subcontractor gets full access without adding per-seat fees or hitting item caps. Sortly uses tiered pricing based on item count: Free (100 items), Advanced at $49/month billed monthly or $24/month annual in the first year (500 items), Ultra at $149/month billed monthly or $74/month annual in the first year (2,000 items), Premium (5,000 items) and Enterprise (10,000+ items). User licences are bundled per tier (1/2/5/8/12+), so adding users can push you to a higher tier. For operations managing thousands of assets with large field teams, MapTrack avoids both the item ceiling and tier jumps to add users.

Which works better offline?

MapTrack has full offline on all plans. Sortly offers offline on every plan, including Free.

MapTrack is built mobile-first with offline support standard on all plans. Field teams can scan QR codes, complete inspection forms and record results on loaded work orders without connectivity, syncing automatically when back online. Sortly markets Offline Mobile Access (track and update items offline) on every plan, including Free. For remote construction, mining and field sites where connectivity is unreliable, MapTrack provides offline on every plan with deeper field workflows.

Where Sortly wins

Sortly is a well-designed app with genuine advantages for its target use case. A balanced comparison should acknowledge where the competitor excels:

Visual, photo-first inventory

Sortly uses a visual, photo-first approach to inventory management. Items are displayed as cards with images, making it intuitive for visual inventory tracking. Well suited for retail, home and small office use.

Free tier for small inventories

A free plan covering 100 items lets individuals and very small teams manage basic inventory at no cost. Low barrier to entry for personal and home inventory.

Simple, consumer-friendly UX

Sortly is designed for simplicity. Non-technical users can be up and running quickly without training. The interface prioritises ease of use over enterprise features.

Frequently asked questions: Sortly vs MapTrack

It depends on what you track and where it goes. MapTrack is best for field teams: GPS trackers, maintenance and compliance on each asset, with per-asset pricing and unlimited users instead of item caps. Asset Panda is best for configurable office and IT asset registers with quote-based pricing. SafetyCulture is best for safety and compliance-first teams running inspections. Sortly itself stays a good choice for small businesses and simple inventory: its pricing page lists a free plan for 100 items, then Advanced (500 items), Ultra (2,000) and Premium (5,000) at US$49, US$149 and US$299 a month billed monthly, 50% off the first year on annual billing, and a 14-day trial of paid plans that needs a credit card (checked 27 Oct 2026).

MapTrack is a field-grade asset tracking platform with GPS tracking, 150+ telematics, fleet and fuel-card data sources, maintenance (CMMS), compliance, pre-start inspections and cost tracking. Sortly is a visual inventory app designed for small businesses, home inventory and simple asset lists with QR/barcode scanning and check-in/check-out. MapTrack is built for construction, mining and fleet operations where assets move between sites. Sortly is built for retail, home and small office environments.

No. Sortly does not have GPS tracking, real-time location or geofencing capabilities. It uses QR codes and barcodes for check-in/check-out. MapTrack integrates GPS trackers, including ultra long-life battery units, for real-time asset location on a map, trip history and geofence-based alerts. BLE beacons add proximity detection in sheds and laydown areas.

Partly. Sortly does schedule maintenance: its own features page states date-based alerts let you track maintenance and repair schedules for assets, tools and equipment, and its equipment tracking page describes scheduling maintenance and repairs. What is not publicly documented is a work-order module or service tracking against an asset. MapTrack includes built-in CMMS with work orders, preventive maintenance, OEM telemetry-driven triggers (engine hours, odometer, fault codes) and inspection-to-work-order escalation.

Sortly offers a Free tier (100 items), Advanced at $49/month billed monthly or $24/month annual in the first year (500 items), Ultra at $149/month billed monthly or $74/month annual in the first year (2,000 items), Premium (5,000 items) and Enterprise (10,000+ items). User licences are bundled per tier (rising from 1 to 12+ as you move up), not sold as per-seat add-ons. MapTrack uses per-asset pricing with unlimited users included. For field teams with many operators, drivers and subcontractors who all need access, MapTrack avoids both item caps and a tier jump just to add users.

Not that we can confirm. Sortly does not publicly document compliance workflows, pre-start inspections, safety checklists or audit trails, though its date-based alerts can flag warranty and expiry dates. MapTrack attaches pre-starts, inspections, certificates and evidence to each asset record. Failed inspection items auto-trigger work orders. AI-assisted form creation lets you build forms by uploading a PDF or description.

Sortly is designed for small business inventory, home organisation and simple asset lists. It lacks GPS tracking, full offline field workflows, work orders, OEM telematics and compliance features required by construction and mining operations. MapTrack is purpose-built for heavy industry with 150+ telematics, fleet and fuel-card data sources, offline mobile on all plans, pre-starts and per-asset pricing.

Sortly markets Offline Mobile Access (track and update items offline) on every plan, including Free. MapTrack is built mobile-first with offline support standard on all plans. Field teams can scan, complete forms and record results on loaded work orders without connectivity, syncing automatically when back online. Critical for remote construction, mining and field sites.

Most teams are operational within a week. Export your inventory data from Sortly as CSV, upload into MapTrack, and our onboarding team maps your fields, sites and categories. AI-assisted import auto-matches column headings. Guided setup and crew training are included.
