The asset management alternative for small and medium-sized businesses.
Built for IT teams at growing companies. Lean enough to set up over coffee, capable enough to track multi-site fleets, licenses and depreciation without enterprise weight or enterprise price.
How SimpleAMS compares
We avoid one-shot "we beat them all" comparison tables. Instead, here is an honest breakdown of where each common alternative shines and where SimpleAMS is the better fit.
vs Snipe-IT
Snipe-IT is the dominant open-source asset tracker. Powerful, but it is your problem to host, patch, back up and upgrade.
SimpleAMS wins when: you do not have a sysadmin to spare. We host, patch and back up. Full comparison →
vs Asset Panda
Asset Panda is feature-rich with quote-based pricing. Slow to set up; you sit through a sales demo before you see a price.
SimpleAMS wins when: you want the same toolkit - custom reports, approval workflows, reservations, Jira, Intune, SCIM, accounting export - at published pricing, live by Friday.
vs Reftab
Reftab is a great per-asset-priced option with strong asset-checkout UX, but stops short on license and seat tracking.
SimpleAMS wins when: you also need software license and seat tracking, not just hardware checkouts. Full comparison →
vs EZOfficeInventory
EZOfficeInventory covers shared inventory pools well (tools, equipment), broader scope than IT-only.
SimpleAMS wins when: your inventory is IT (laptops, monitors, peripherals) and you want a tool that speaks the language of an IT team rather than a generic asset registry. Full comparison →
vs NinjaOne
NinjaOne is a strong RMM - patching, remote access, monitoring - with asset management as one module inside it, priced per endpoint by quote.
SimpleAMS wins when: you need the assets an agent cannot see - monitors, docks, spare stock, licenses, contracts - and want to keep the RMM you already run rather than replace it. Full comparison →
vs Sortly
Sortly is mobile-first with beautiful photo inventories. Aimed at field crews and small business stock.
SimpleAMS wins when: you need IT-specific concepts (checkouts to staff, license seats, depreciation, custom fields, REST API) rather than a generic inventory app.
vs ManageEngine AssetExplorer
ManageEngine is part of a 50-product suite. Powerful, dense, with a steep configuration curve.
SimpleAMS wins when: you want asset tracking that handles 20 or 2,000 devices without learning a 12-module suite or running a six-week implementation project.
vs Freshservice
Freshservice bundles asset tracking with help-desk and SLA features. Strong if you also need ticketing.
SimpleAMS wins when: you already have a help-desk and just need asset tracking that does not require buying the whole platform.
vs GoCodes
GoCodes centers around prebuilt QR labels and a scan-to-track workflow.
SimpleAMS wins when: you want QR labels (we generate them in-app) plus full license, maintenance and depreciation tracking, not just scan-and-look-up.
