Comparison
SimpleAMS vs Snipe-IT
The hosted Snipe-IT alternative - same asset tracking, no server to run.
Snipe-IT is a capable open-source asset tracker - but "free" means you host it, patch it, back it up and keep it online yourself. SimpleAMS gives you the same core asset management as a fully-hosted service, so your IT team tracks hardware instead of maintaining a server.

No server to provision, secure, patch or back up. Per-customer database isolation, automatic updates, EU hosting, and a built-in AI assistant - at a published price well under Snipe-IT's own cloud tier.
Moving from Snipe-IT
We import the standard Snipe-IT CSV export directly - assets, models, manufacturers, custom fields and depreciation values carry over. Most teams are live the same afternoon.
