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 free, 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 free and simple; MapTrack wins on depth and Australian fit.
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 work orders needed?
AssetTiger. Its free plan (250 assets, 2 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 scan it at a desk.
Learn more →Maintenance and compliance lead
You need real work orders, meter-based servicing and inspections on each asset?
MapTrack. AssetTiger offers reminders; 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, AU data residency and onshore support, not a US vendor?
MapTrack. AssetTiger is US-based and prices in USD with no AU data residency stated; MapTrack is Australian-founded with AUD pricing, AU hosting and a local team.

The differences that matter
Tracking: barcode register vs live location
AssetTiger identifies assets by barcode and QR scanning only. MapTrack adds GPS and BLE tracking plus 150+ OEM telematics 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 does not market GPS or 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: reminders vs work orders
AssetTiger sends maintenance reminders and has shallow work orders. MapTrack runs full work orders triggered by meters, inspections and schedules.
AssetTiger covers maintenance scheduling 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 reminder and a managed workflow.
Offline: desk audits vs field work
AssetTiger does not document offline use. MapTrack is offline-first, so crews scan and update with no signal and sync later.
AssetTiger does not document offline or no-signal data capture, so we mark it as unconfirmed; verify it in a trial if your teams work in low-coverage areas. MapTrack is offline-first on all plans: field crews scan, assign and complete forms without connectivity and sync when back online. For remote sites, underground and yards, that is the difference between a system that works where the assets are and one that needs a connection.
Compliance: register vs inspections on the asset
AssetTiger does not document inspections or pre-starts. MapTrack ties pre-starts, inspections and evidence to each asset.
AssetTiger is a register; it does not document pre-start or inspection workflows. 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 with no stated AU data residency. MapTrack is AU-founded with AUD pricing and AU hosting.
AssetTiger is owned and operated by SmartSign LLC in Brooklyn, New York, prices in USD, and publishes no Australian data residency or support hours; its tags ship from the US via MyAssetTag. MapTrack is Australian-founded, prices in AUD, hosts in the AU AWS region, prints labels in Australia from 100 per size, and provides onshore support. For Australian teams that care about local data, pricing and support, MapTrack is the local option.
