Decision

Which should you choose?

Choose AssetTiger if…

You'd rather not provision, patch, and back up a server, or your tracking needs go beyond IT hardware into tools, vehicles, and fixed assets. Total cost of ownership often favors hosted once you count admin time: $240/year for 500 assets with support included.

The alternative may fit if…

You have the technical team and appetite to self-host, your needs are strictly IT asset management, and a self-managed free tier outweighs the cost of running and maintaining your own server.

Questions

Common questions.

Snipe-IT also offers managed hosting from $39.99/month and paid support plans from about $449/year (verified June 2026).

The two most common reasons are no server to maintain (AssetTiger is fully hosted with support included), and broader scope. AssetTiger tracks tools, vehicles, equipment, and fixed assets alongside IT hardware in one platform.
