Per-Asset Pricing. Unlimited Users. CMMS Plus Tracking.

MapTrack offers per-asset pricing with unlimited users, first-party GPS trackers, 150+ telematics, fleet and fuel-card data sources and combined asset tracking + CMMS in one platform. No per-seat fees that scale with headcount.

Teams switch from UpKeep when per-user pricing limits adoption, when they need first-party GPS hardware and 150+ telematics, fleet and fuel-card data source breadth beyond UpKeep's select integrations, or when managing separate tools for tracking and maintenance creates data silos. MapTrack unifies tracking, maintenance, compliance and cost tracking.

The best UpKeep alternative depends on what your team maintains and how many people need access. Maintenance-first teams in manufacturing and facilities should compare CMMS platforms such as MaintainX and Limble, or MapTrack, which pairs work orders and preventive maintenance with each asset’s record. Teams whose tools, plant and vehicles move between sites and crews should compare asset-first systems such as MapTrack, where every asset carries its location, bookings, inspections and service history. Because UpKeep charges per user, teams that want every operator and subcontractor on the system should compare per-asset pricing with unlimited users. UpKeep’s own strength is a mobile-first CMMS with work orders, preventive maintenance, parts inventory and technician scheduling, from US$24 a user a month. MapTrack is the best UpKeep alternative for teams who need combined asset tracking and maintenance in one platform. Per-asset pricing with unlimited users, GPS tracking, 150+ telematics, fleet and fuel-card data sources in MapTrack's integration directory and offline mobile replace per-user CMMS with separate tracking tools.

MapTrack publishes this page and is one of the alternatives discussed. Based on UpKeep’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 Spotted something out of date?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 UpKeep?

UpKeep is a mobile-first CMMS (Computerised Maintenance Management System) designed for maintenance teams to manage work orders, preventive maintenance, parts inventory and technician scheduling. Founded in 2015, UpKeep has grown into one of the most popular CMMS platforms with strong reviews on G2 and Capterra (4.5+ ratings).

UpKeep's strengths are in mobile work order management, technician assignment and parts inventory with purchase orders. It offers a free trial, with paid plans (Essential $24/user/mo, Premium $55/user/mo, plus custom-priced Professional and Enterprise) using per-user pricing. The platform is used by facility maintenance teams, property management companies and manufacturing operations.

UpKeep is a solid CMMS but it is maintenance-focused rather than a dedicated asset tracking platform, although it offers QR and barcode scanning, a tool tracking module and check-in and check-out on Enterprise. It has no first-party asset GPS hardware, though it does offer mobile-app GPS features and integrates GPS/telematics providers (Samsara, Linxup, One Step GPS, Titan GPS). Teams wanting dedicated GPS hardware on every asset typically pair UpKeep with a separate tracking solution.

Why teams look for an UpKeep alternative

UpKeep is a solid mobile CMMS for facility-based maintenance. Teams typically look for alternatives when their needs go beyond pure maintenance management:

Per-user pricing limits adoption

UpKeep charges per user (Essential $24, Premium $55/user/mo; Professional and Enterprise custom). For field teams with 20+ workers, per-seat fees prevent broad adoption. MapTrack includes unlimited users with per-asset pricing.

No first-party asset GPS hardware

UpKeep has no first-party asset GPS hardware; it offers mobile-app GPS features and GPS/telematics integrations (Samsara, Linxup, One Step GPS, Titan GPS). MapTrack integrates dedicated GPS trackers (incl. ultra long-life battery) for real-time location, geofences and trip history across job sites.

No 150+ telematics, fleet and fuel-card data source breadth

UpKeep integrates select GPS/telematics providers (Samsara, Linxup, One Step GPS, Titan GPS). MapTrack connects 150+ telematics, fleet and fuel-card data sources for automated maintenance triggers from live engine hours, fault codes and ODO.

Separate tracking + maintenance tools

UpKeep is CMMS-focused, with QR and barcode scanning, a tool tracking module and Enterprise check-in and check-out. Teams that want GPS trackers on every asset alongside maintenance typically pair UpKeep with a separate tracking solution. MapTrack unifies everything in one system.

Limited OEM telemetry breadth for triggers

UpKeep maintenance scheduling leans on calendar intervals, manual meter entry or select telematics integrations. MapTrack triggers work orders from live OEM telemetry (hours, ODO, fault codes) across 150+ data sources automatically.

Cost tracking centred on work orders

MapTrack tracks purchase, depreciation, service, hire and operating costs with TCO reporting per asset. UpKeep tracks costs on work orders from Premium and adds depreciation schedules on Enterprise; hire and operating costs per asset are not publicly documented.

Which platform fits your team?

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

The maintenance manager

Is your primary focus work orders, preventive maintenance and technician scheduling for fixed facility assets?

Consider staying on UpKeep. Its mobile CMMS workflow, technician assignment and parts inventory are strong for facility-based maintenance teams where asset tracking and GPS are not priorities.

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 and per-asset pricing with unlimited users are built for mobile assets across multiple sites.

Learn more →

The cost-conscious fleet manager

Do you have 20+ field workers who all need platform access?

Choose MapTrack. Per-asset pricing with unlimited users avoids the per-seat cost escalation that makes UpKeep expensive for large field teams.

Learn more →

The operations director

Do you need tracking, maintenance, compliance and cost management in one system instead of separate tools?

Choose MapTrack. Unified tracking + CMMS + compliance + cost tracking in one platform. UpKeep is maintenance-focused; GPS tracking and telematics sit outside its core.

How MapTrack compares to UpKeep

Which pricing model works better for field teams?

MapTrack uses per-asset pricing with unlimited users. UpKeep charges per user.

MapTrack charges per asset with unlimited users included. Every operator, supervisor and subcontractor gets full access without adding per-seat fees. UpKeep uses per-user pricing: Essential at $24/user/month, Premium at $55/user/month, with Professional and Enterprise custom-priced (verify current rates at upkeep.com/pricing). There is no free plan, only a free trial. For a team of 30 field workers on UpKeep Premium, that is approximately $19,800/year in user licensing alone (30 users x $55 x 12). Many teams limit who gets access to control costs, which reduces the value of having a centralised system.

Which has first-party asset GPS hardware?

MapTrack ships dedicated GPS trackers. UpKeep relies on mobile-app GPS and telematics integrations.

MapTrack supports GPS trackers, including ultra long-life battery units that run for years, for real-time asset location on a map across job sites. Geofences trigger entry/exit alerts and power time-on-site reporting. BLE beacons add proximity detection inside sheds and laydown areas. UpKeep has no first-party asset GPS hardware, but it does offer mobile-app GPS features and integrates GPS/telematics providers (Samsara, Linxup, One Step GPS, Titan GPS) to bring location into work orders. Teams wanting dedicated GPS hardware on every asset will pair UpKeep with a separate tracking platform.

Which connects OEM telematics?

MapTrack connects 150+ telematics, fleet and fuel-card data sources. UpKeep integrates select GPS/telematics providers.

MapTrack connects 150+ telematics, fleet and fuel-card data sources in its integration directory (Caterpillar, John Deere, Komatsu, Geotab, Samsara, Verizon Connect and more) to ingest engine hours, odometer, fuel consumption, fault codes and DTC alerts. This data feeds directly into automated maintenance triggers and geofence-based utilisation reporting. UpKeep integrates select GPS/telematics providers (Samsara, Linxup, One Step GPS, Titan GPS) for telematics-to-work-order data. Meter readings can be entered manually or fed from these integrations.

Which combines tracking and maintenance?

MapTrack is a unified tracking + CMMS platform. UpKeep is CMMS-focused.

MapTrack combines asset tracking (GPS, QR, BLE), maintenance (CMMS with telemetry-driven triggers), compliance (pre-starts, inspections, certificates) and cost tracking (depreciation, TCO) in one platform. UpKeep is a dedicated CMMS: strong work orders, preventive maintenance, parts inventory and technician scheduling. Tracking, GPS and telematics are not its core focus, although it adds QR and barcode scanning, a tool tracking module, check-in and check-out on Enterprise, and a Fleet add-on that reads vehicle location from your telematics. Teams using UpKeep for maintenance often need a separate system for GPS trackers and asset location, creating data silos.

Which has better maintenance triggers?

MapTrack uses live OEM telemetry across 150+ sources. UpKeep uses manual entry or select telematics integrations.

MapTrack triggers work orders from live OEM telemetry data: engine hours, odometer, fault codes and DTC alerts flow directly from the equipment into maintenance triggers across 150+ data sources. No manual meter entry required. UpKeep offers work orders, preventive maintenance and meter-based scheduling; meter readings are entered manually or fed from select telematics integrations (Samsara, Linxup, One Step GPS, Titan GPS). Calendar-based PM scheduling is straightforward, and runtime-based triggers depend on either the integration or someone recording the reading.

Which is better for compliance?

MapTrack has built-in compliance with AI form builder. UpKeep has checklists and asset inspections, with an AI checklist generator.

MapTrack keeps compliance attached to each asset: pre-starts, inspections, certificates and evidence trails. Failed checks can auto-trigger work orders. The AI form builder creates inspection forms from a PDF or description. UpKeep has checklists, asset inspections that raise a service request when a task fails, an AI checklist generator (Premium and above) and meter readings tied to assets. For teams where compliance, pre-starts and safety inspections are a core requirement alongside maintenance, MapTrack provides deeper compliance workflows.

Which tracks asset costs with TCO?

MapTrack has built-in cost tracking and TCO reporting. UpKeep tracks work order costs.

MapTrack tracks the full cost of ownership per asset: purchase price, depreciation schedules, service and repair costs, hire/rental charges and operating expenses. Roll-up reports give you TCO by asset, category, site or project. UpKeep tracks costs on work orders and parts from Premium, which gives you maintenance spend visibility, and its Enterprise plan adds depreciation schedules; its asset management page also describes dashboards with total cost of ownership. Hire and operating costs per asset are not publicly documented.

Total cost of ownership: what to include

When comparing MapTrack and UpKeep, look beyond the subscription price. Factor in these cost categories:

Software licensing

  • MapTrack: per-asset pricing with unlimited users
  • UpKeep: per-user pricing; Essential $24/user/mo, Premium $55/user/mo, Professional and Enterprise custom (verify current rates at upkeep.com/pricing)
  • Factor in total users who need access, including operators, supervisors and subcontractors

Hidden scaling costs

  • Per-user fees compound quickly as field teams grow
  • A team of 30 users on the Premium plan costs ~$19,800/year in licensing alone (30 users x $55 x 12)
  • Separate first-party GPS hardware for asset tracking is not part of UpKeep (UpKeep covers GPS via mobile app and telematics integrations)

Operational costs

  • Time spent managing separate systems for tracking vs maintenance
  • No first-party asset GPS hardware in UpKeep; location relies on mobile-app GPS and telematics integrations
  • Meter readings via manual entry or GPS/telematics integrations (Samsara, Linxup, One Step GPS, Titan GPS)
  • Asset loss from limited real-time hardware-level location visibility

The hidden cost of per-user pricing for field teams

UpKeep uses per-user pricing across all plans. The Essential plan is $24 per user per month and the Premium plan $55 per user per month (verify current rates at upkeep.com/pricing). Professional and Enterprise are custom-priced. There is no free plan, only a free trial.

For field-heavy operations with 20-50 workers who need platform access (operators, supervisors, subcontractors), per-user pricing compounds quickly. A team of 30 users on the Premium plan would cost approximately $19,800/year in user licensing alone (30 users x $55 x 12). Many teams limit adoption to avoid cost, which defeats the purpose of having a centralised system.

  • Essential: $24/user/month
  • Premium: $55/user/month
  • Professional: custom pricing
  • Enterprise: custom pricing (free trial only; no free plan)

MapTrack includes unlimited users on all plans. Per-asset pricing means the cost scales with your asset count, not your headcount. Every operator, supervisor and subcontractor gets full access without per-seat fees.

Frequently asked questions: UpKeep vs MapTrack

It depends on what you maintain and who needs access. MapTrack is best for teams that want asset tracking and maintenance in one platform: GPS tracking, 150+ telematics, fleet and fuel-card data sources, offline mobile and per-asset pricing with unlimited users. MaintainX is best for maintenance-first teams that want strong work orders and mobile UX. Limble is best for user-friendly CMMS with strong preventive maintenance. Asset Panda is best for IT and office inventory. UpKeep itself stays a strong choice for mobile-first maintenance teams where per-user pricing fits the headcount: its pricing page lists Essential at US$24 and Premium at US$55 a user a month, custom pricing for Professional and Enterprise, and a free trial with no credit card (checked 27 Oct 2026).

MapTrack uses per-asset pricing with unlimited users. You pay for the assets you track, not per seat. UpKeep uses per-user pricing: Essential at $24/user/month and Premium at $55/user/month, with Professional and Enterprise custom-priced (verify current rates at upkeep.com/pricing). There is no free plan, only a free trial. For field-heavy teams with many workers, MapTrack's unlimited-user model can significantly reduce total cost. A team of 30 users on UpKeep Premium would pay approximately $19,800/year in user licensing alone (30 users x $55 x 12).

UpKeep has no first-party asset GPS hardware, but it does offer mobile-app GPS features and integrates GPS and telematics providers (Samsara, Linxup, One Step GPS, Titan GPS) to bring location and meter data into work orders. It is a CMMS focused on maintenance work orders rather than first-party asset location hardware. MapTrack integrates with GPS trackers (including ultra long-life battery units) for real-time asset location on a map, geofences with entry/exit alerts, trip history and time-on-site reporting.

It combines the maintenance capabilities you need with asset tracking, GPS and compliance in one platform.

UpKeep has mobile apps for iOS and Android, with offline capability on its Professional and Enterprise tiers (Premium is online only; verify current offline scope with vendor). 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 asset register and work order history from UpKeep as CSV, upload into MapTrack, and our onboarding team maps your fields, sites and categories. AI-assisted import auto-matches column headings so you do not need to restructure your data first. Guided setup and crew training are included.

UpKeep is a well-regarded mobile CMMS used by maintenance teams for work orders, preventive maintenance, parts inventory and technician scheduling. It has strong mobile UX, a free trial to evaluate it, and is rated ~4.5/5 on G2 and ~4.6/5 on Capterra. It is strongest for facility-based maintenance teams where the primary need is work order management rather than first-party asset GPS hardware.

MapTrack tracks spare parts as assets within the same register, with location, quantities and reorder alerts, and has a dedicated parts module: a parts catalogue with stock by location and bin, min/max levels, reorder status, usage analytics, moving-average costing, suppliers with their part numbers and prices, and parts planned onto service work orders. UpKeep has a dedicated parts and inventory module from Premium with suppliers and min/max stock levels, and purchase orders on Enterprise. If purchase orders and procurement workflow are your primary need, evaluate both platforms in a demo to see which fits your workflow.

Yes. MapTrack includes RBAC and API on all plans, with SSO and Active Directory sign-in through Microsoft Entra ID, set up by our team, on Enterprise (a Pro add-on). Its primary database and application hosting are in Sydney. Per-asset pricing with unlimited users allows enterprise-wide rollout without per-seat cost escalation. UpKeep also offers SSO, custom roles and API access, all on its Enterprise tier.

Yes. MapTrack sells AI dash cams and shows their live video and saved event clips in the MapTrack app, beside each vehicle’s pre-starts, servicing and costs. ADAS alerts are on the Pro plan and driver monitoring is on the Advanced plan.

Yes. MapTrack works with QR, barcode and Data Matrix labels: scan them with the phone camera or a handheld Bluetooth or USB scanner, and MapTrack prints durable labels for harsh sites.

Yes. MapTrack runs preventive maintenance on time or meter triggers, with tiered service plans (for example 250, 500 and 1,000 hour services), work orders raised from meter readings, one work order across many assets with a pass or fail for each, parts by location and bin, and a full service history on every asset.

Yes. MapTrack rate cards set daily, weekly and monthly hire rates by asset category or individual asset, for dry, wet or standby hire, and record the hire cost when equipment comes back. Finance dashboards keep a cost ledger for every asset, location and person, with budget vs actual, depreciation and repair-or-replace guidance. Divisions give each division its own assets and team access, while account owners see across every division. Rate cards, finance and divisions are an add-on on the Pro and Enterprise plans.

MapTrack works out each asset’s usage rate from its recent readings and estimates when the next meter service will fall due. It flags meters whose readings are out of date, or whose estimated due date has passed without a new reading, so services don’t slip between readings. Each asset and schedule also gets a 0 to 100 maintenance health score with 12 months of memory, so a run of late or skipped services still counts after it’s cleared.

Yes. Record a service cost, or break it down into labour, parts and external costs; time and costs logged on a work order roll up into each asset’s service record. Parts and stock are held by location and bin, with receipts, issues, transfers, stocktakes and moving-average valuation.

Yes. Raise one batch work order for a group of enrolled assets, or scan a batch of assets and log the service for all of them at once. One work order can also cover many assets, each with its own pass or fail, for test and tag, calibration and inspection rounds.
