MapTrack vs AssetTiger
AssetTiger is a low-cost, US-based barcode and QR asset register (a 30-day free trial for up to 250 assets and 2 users, then paid plans from US$20 a month) that suits small, simple, fixed-asset setups. MapTrack is an Australian platform for mobile assets that adds GPS and BLE tracking, work orders with meter and inspection triggers, pre-starts and inspections, and AU support, alongside offline-first field use and a public API, with custom QR labels that link to a live asset record. 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.

The short version
A detailed, honest comparison of MapTrack and AssetTiger across tracking, maintenance, compliance, integrations, pricing and Australian fit, updated June 2026. Where AssetTiger does not document a capability, we say so rather than assume.
AssetTiger is a genuinely low-cost, well-reviewed barcode and QR register for small, simple, fixed-asset setups. MapTrack is the choice when assets move across sites and crews, go off-grid, or need maintenance, inspections, integrations and Australian support. AssetTiger wins on low cost and simplicity; MapTrack wins on depth and Australian fit. MapTrack covers tools, plant, trailers and vehicles on one record, from any phone, and holds Capterra’s Best Ease of Use award for 2026.
MapTrack or AssetTiger: which fits your team?
Both are credible. The right pick depends on whether your assets move and whether you need maintenance, compliance and Australian support.
Small fixed-asset register on a budget
A few hundred assets that stay put, a couple of admins, no GPS or real work orders needed?
AssetTiger. Its entry plan (US$20 a month for 500 assets, with unlimited users) and simple barcode register are an excellent, low-cost fit, and it rates 4.6/5 on Capterra.
Field operations with moving assets
Tools, plant and vehicles move across sites and crews, often off-grid?
MapTrack. GPS and BLE tracking, offline-first mobile and live location mean you can find and account for gear in the field, not just see where it was last scanned.
Learn more →Maintenance and compliance lead
You need real work orders, meter-based servicing and inspections on each asset?
MapTrack. AssetTiger schedules maintenance by date or usage hours; MapTrack runs work orders with meter and inspection triggers plus pre-starts and inspections tied to the asset record.
Learn more →Australian team wanting local support
You want AUD pricing, a Sydney-hosted primary database and onshore support, not a US vendor?
MapTrack. AssetTiger is US-based and prices in USD; MapTrack is Australian-founded with AUD pricing, primary database and application hosting in Sydney, and a local team.

The differences that matter
Tracking: barcode register vs live location
AssetTiger identifies assets by barcode and QR scanning, recording GPS location only at check-in and check-out. MapTrack adds GPS and BLE tracking plus 150+ telematics, fleet and fuel-card data sources for live location.
For a fixed-asset register that you audit at a location, AssetTiger’s barcode and QR scanning is enough, and it does it well. The gap appears when assets move. AssetTiger records GPS location only when an asset is checked in or out, not live location, so between scans you do not know where an asset is. MapTrack keeps QR and barcode for identification and adds GPS and BLE hardware for live location and geofences, plus OEM telematics for meter readings, so you can find plant and vehicles and trigger servicing from real usage.
Maintenance: schedules vs work orders
AssetTiger schedules maintenance by date or usage hours, sends reminders and has shallow work orders. MapTrack runs full work orders triggered by meters, inspections and schedules.
AssetTiger covers maintenance scheduling by date or usage hours and email reminders, with basic work orders (due date, status, cost) and, per independent reviews, no built-in communication or predictive maintenance. MapTrack runs work orders triggered by runtime or odometer meters, failed inspections or schedules, with parts, costs and full service history on each asset. If maintenance and uptime are central, that is the difference between a usage schedule and a managed workflow: work orders raised automatically from meter readings, run hours from GPS trackers, AI dash cams and OEM feeds, tiered service plans and one work order across many assets.
Offline: field work without signal
AssetTiger’s iOS and Android app works offline. MapTrack is offline-first, so crews scan, update and complete pre-starts and inspections with no signal and sync later.
AssetTiger’s features page says its iOS and Android app works offline; test it in a trial if your teams work in low-coverage areas. MapTrack is offline-first on all plans: field crews scan and complete forms without connectivity and sync when back online. For remote sites, underground and yards, that means a system that works where the assets are, pre-starts and inspections included.
Compliance: register vs inspections on the asset
AssetTiger logs inspection results, but it does not document pre-start or inspection checklists. MapTrack ties pre-starts, inspections and evidence to each asset.
AssetTiger is a register that logs inspection results and calibration certificates, with an out-of-calibration lockout; it does not document pre-start or inspection checklists. MapTrack ties pre-starts, inspections and custom forms to the asset record, stores evidence and certificates, and can trigger a work order from a failed check. For Australian operators where WHS plant inspection is the regulatory baseline, that on-asset compliance trail is a core reason teams choose MapTrack.
Australian fit: US vendor vs local platform
AssetTiger is a US company pricing in USD and does not state its hosting region. MapTrack is AU-founded with AUD pricing and primary systems hosted in Sydney.
AssetTiger is owned and operated by SmartSign LLC in Brooklyn, New York, prices in USD, and does not publish its hosting region or support hours; its tags ship from the US via MyAssetTag. MapTrack is Australian-founded, prices in AUD, has its primary database and application hosting in Sydney, prints labels in Australia from 100 per size, and provides onshore support. For Australian teams that care about documented data location, pricing and support, MapTrack is the local option.

AssetTiger is genuinely cheaper at small scale (from US$20 a month for 500 assets, after a 30-day free trial); MapTrack is not. MapTrack’s value is depth (GPS, offline pre-starts, maintenance, compliance, integrations) and Australian fit, not a lower price at small scale.
