MaintainX vs Fiix (2026): Features, Pricing, AI, and Which CMMS Fits Your Team

MaintainX vs Fiix side by side

Here is the head-to-head summary, verified as of October 2026. Pricing is per user, per month, billed annually, checked against MaintainX's published pricing and Fiix's pricing page.

Neither tool is objectively behind the other. The real decision is not which platform is legitimate; both are well-rated and backed by major engineering companies. It is which operating model matches how your maintenance actually runs, and how far that model has to scale once a single site becomes a portfolio.

What changed in 2026: MaintainX joined Autodesk, Fiix sits inside Rockwell

If you last evaluated these two a year ago, the corporate picture has shifted, and it shapes each platform's roadmap.

On 28 May 2026, Autodesk announced it would acquire MaintainX in an all-cash deal valued at roughly $3.6 billion, and the acquisition closed on 3 August 2026. MaintainX now operates inside a new division, Autodesk Operations Solutions, alongside tools like Autodesk Tandem and Fusion Operations. For day-to-day frontline use, little changes overnight: the product, pricing tiers and mobile experience carry on. What changes is the strategic context. MaintainX is no longer an independent CMMS charting its own course; it is one operations layer inside a much larger construction-and-design platform agenda, which helps teams already in the Autodesk ecosystem while raising the usual post-acquisition questions about roadmap priorities and multi-year pricing.

Fiix has been a Rockwell Automation company since 2020, and that ownership is central to its value rather than a recent surprise. Rockwell is one of the largest industrial automation firms in the world, so Fiix connects naturally to SCADA, PLCs and plant-floor control. Far from winding down, Fiix continues to invest: as of early 2026, SAP named Fiix an official Build Partner, and Rockwell reports more than 4,500 maintenance teams on the platform across oil and gas, food and beverage, heavy equipment and general manufacturing. If your maintenance has to speak to industrial automation and enterprise finance, that lineage is a genuine advantage.

The takeaway: both tools now sit inside large parent companies with their own agendas. If the ownership change at MaintainX gives you pause, our guide to MaintainX CMMS alternatives walks through the field.

MaintainX vs Fiix: pricing compared

Pricing is where the two diverge most for new buyers. Both publish tiers, but their entry points and curves differ. Figures below are per user, per month, billed annually, as of October 2026.

MaintainX starts materially cheaper. Its Essential tier near $20 per user undercuts Fiix's Basic plan near $45, and much of what a small team needs is available before the Premium jump. Fiix's step from Basic ($45) to Professional ($75) is a 67% per-user increase, so growing teams feel the climb as they add purchasing, custom reports and the Integration Hub. The trade-off is that Fiix's higher tiers bundle industrial-grade depth that MaintainX reserves for Enterprise. For the full tier breakdown, see our MaintainX pricing and Fiix CMMS pricing guides.

MaintainX vs Fiix: pros and cons compared

Read these head-to-head, since each tool's strength is often the other's trade-off. For a full standalone teardown of either platform, see our MaintainX CMMS review and Fiix CMMS review.

A useful way practitioners frame it in community threads: MaintainX is the tool that gets technicians to actually log work, while Fiix is the tool that wires maintenance into the plant and the ERP. If you want to see how each compares against other platforms, our MaintainX vs UpKeep, UpKeep vs Fiix CMMS and IBM Maximo vs MaintainX comparisons extend the picture.

What users say: MaintainX vs Fiix

Both platforms are well rated, so the useful signal is where reviewers split when comparing them directly.

On G2, MaintainX carries both a higher score and far more review volume, reflecting its broad frontline base, while Fiix's ratings skew toward industrial reliability teams who value its depth. In maintenance community threads, technicians consistently describe MaintainX as the easier tool to roll out and Fiix as the more capable tool for complex plants, with some reviewers flagging support and roadmap uncertainty since the Rockwell integration. On Gartner Peer Insights, Fiix is recognized specifically for enterprise asset management depth. The split is less about quality and more about which style of maintenance you run.

Which CMMS is right for your operation?

When both start to strain: The decision gets harder once a single plant or building becomes a portfolio. Both tools are built first for maintenance teams at the site level. As you add locations, external vendors, tenants and client-facing SLAs, the gaps appear in the same places: multi-site rollups sit behind the enterprise tier, there is no native vendor or occupant portal, and portfolio reporting across sites gets stitched together rather than delivered natively.

This matters more than it looks. A CMMS that only logs and schedules work is still fundamentally passive. It records what happened and reminds you what is due, but it waits for a person to read the dashboard, notice the trend and act. At one site, a sharp team absorbs that overhead. Across twenty sites, the cost of passive monitoring compounds into missed SLAs, reactive callouts, unvalidated vendor invoices and reporting that is always a week behind reality. That is the ceiling both maintenance-first tools eventually hit, and it is a question of operating model, not product quality.

What a CMMS built for multi-site operations looks like

Once maintenance spans a portfolio of buildings, the useful comparison is no longer MaintainX versus Fiix. It is a maintenance-first CMMS versus a connected operating model. This is the gap Facilio set out to close with a connected approach to facility management software, worth understanding as a third reference point even if you ultimately stay on one of the tools above.

A Connected CMMS treats maintenance as one thread in a larger operation rather than the whole picture. It unifies work orders, assets, vendors, tenants, compliance and energy on one no-code platform; it overlays and integrates the building and business systems you already run instead of replacing them; and it gives every stakeholder a role-based view, from technician to tenant to client. Where maintenance-first tools surface a dashboard and wait, a connected platform adds purpose-built AI agents that triage requests, route technicians and validate invoices on top of your existing systems, including a dedicated facility helpdesk agent for intake and response. It also adds the layers neither CMMS was built for: native vendor management software, tenant service request software, and energy management software with fault detection.

The proof shows up in deployments. A large UAE facilities provider deployed Facilio's helpdesk AI and now resolves close to 80% of service calls end to end with AI, cut average response time from 3.6 hours to 0.9 hours, and reduced duplicate tickets from 18% to roughly 2%, all live within three days. Skeens Warehouse Services replaced a patchwork of tools, emails and manual steps with a single connected platform and reported a 100% reduction in manual contractor check-ins by phone. As Riley Skeens, Vice President of Operations, put it, work that used to span multiple tools and manual steps now runs in one visible place; the Skeens case study has the full detail. Facilio's recognition as a Leader in the 2025 Verdantix Green Quadrant for Commercial Buildings CMMS, detailed in Facilio's newsroom, reflects the same connected approach. Facilio is also SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified. It is honestly overkill for a single team that only needs mobile work orders, which is exactly where MaintainX or Fiix remains the better call.

Already on MaintainX or Fiix? You may not have to switch

Switching a working CMMS is disruptive, and often unnecessary. If MaintainX or Fiix is doing its core job well, you can layer connected capability and AI on top of it rather than ripping it out. Facilio's agents can work alongside an existing system, which means you can add vendor governance, multi-site reporting and automated triage without re-training technicians who are happy with their current tool. Our guides on AI agents for MaintainX and AI agents for Fiix CMMS show how that layering works, and teams weighing the platforms head-to-head can review our MaintainX vs Facilio breakdown.

The bottom line is straightforward. MaintainX and Fiix are both strong, well-backed CMMS tools, and for a single team or plant the choice comes down to frontline adoption and low entry cost versus industrial depth and ERP integration. Pick MaintainX for mobile-first speed and communication, pick Fiix for plant-floor and reliability depth, and look to a connected model when your operation grows past what a maintenance-first CMMS was designed to carry.
