AssetTiger

Overview

AssetTiger is cloud software for tracking physical assets, inventory, maintenance, depreciation, contracts, and audits. It is best suited to organizations that need mobile custody workflows and structured asset records, though its free account is too small for most teams to use operationally.

Key features

Staff can scan barcodes and QR codes with iOS or Android devices and record check-in and check-out handoffs. Offline scanning syncs after a device reconnects, which helps teams working in places with unreliable connectivity. GPS location tracking adds another way to follow assets, but does not replace the need to keep custody records current.

Recurring maintenance schedules and advance email alerts help teams keep service deadlines from being overlooked. Depreciation supports straight-line, declining-balance, and sum-of-years-digits methods, giving finance teams several standard calculation approaches.

More than 80 report types can be exported to CSV or PDF. The REST API supports integrations with ERP systems such as SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, and Dynamics, and ITSM platforms such as ServiceNow and Jira Service Management. API access is limited to paid plans; those plans include a sandbox and Swagger documentation, useful for teams planning an integration before rollout.

Security controls include more than 120 permission settings, two-factor authentication, Google SSO, and an immutable activity log. Trial accounts receive standard email support, while paid plans include priority support.

Pricing

The included Inventory Free account allows up to two inventory items, a cap that makes it suitable only for a very small catalog or initial evaluation. The separate 30-day trial permits up to 250 assets and two users, with no credit card required; standard email support applies during the trial.

Basic costs $20/mo or $220/yr and covers 500 assets with unlimited users. It is the lowest paid tier and a sensible fit for small teams that need more than the free allowance without paying for a large asset ceiling. Core costs $40/mo or $440/yr for 2,500 assets, while Advanced costs $75/mo or $825/yr for 10,000 assets. Both retain unlimited users, so the decision between them turns on asset volume.

Pro is $140/mo or $1,540/yr for 50,000 assets; Enterprise is $275/mo or $3,025/yr for 250,000 assets. These higher ceilings suit larger inventories, but represent a substantial step up in recurring cost. Inventory Paid is a $15/mo add-on to any plan, or $165/yr, and provides unlimited inventory items. API access and priority support are included with paid plans.

Platforms

AssetTiger is available on the web and through iOS and Android apps, with an API for integrations. Mobile scanning works offline and syncs when connectivity returns.

Who it's for

Schools, IT teams, healthcare organizations, government agencies, nonprofits, construction, and manufacturing are among the organizations AssetTiger serves. Its combination of handoff records, maintenance scheduling, reports, and depreciation is strongest for teams managing equipment across people or locations. The two-item free account is not a practical substitute for a paid plan when tracking a working inventory.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Offline barcode and QR scanning with check-in/check-out records supports mobile custody workflows even without a live connection.
• Pros: Unlimited users on paid tiers lets teams add staff without moving to a higher plan solely for more seats.
• Pros: Broad reporting, depreciation methods, and paid-plan API access cover operational and finance needs in one platform.
• Cons: The included free allowance of two inventory items is too restrictive for most organizations.
• Cons: The 30-day trial is capped at 250 assets and two users, so larger teams cannot evaluate their full scale within it.
• Cons: Paid entry starts at $20/mo, and larger asset ceilings bring steeply higher monthly costs.

Alternatives

Asset Tracking Software is the broader category to explore when comparing asset-management options.

Choose Reftab if a free plan covering up to 50 assets, unlimited inventory and software tracking, and mobile barcode and QR support better fits a smaller operation.

Verdict

AssetTiger is a strong fit for organizations that need mobile asset handoffs, maintenance reminders, detailed reporting, and depreciation in one system, especially when unlimited paid-plan users matter. Its main drawback is the cost of scaling: the free allowance is negligible, the trial is limited to 250 assets and two users, and larger inventories require progressively more expensive tiers. Small teams with modest needs should compare free alternatives; organizations with a substantial asset program and integration requirements have more reason to choose AssetTiger.
