“How much does a CMMS cost?” It’s the first question of any maintenance project. The answer depends on the number of users, the fleet to manage, the features and the deployment mode. Here are the real price ranges, the hidden costs and how to calculate the return on investment.
What is the average price of a CMMS?
The majority of solutions are now offered in SaaS mode, which requires little upfront investment. Here are the most common ranges:
| Type of solution | Average price |
|---|---|
| Simple SaaS CMMS | €20 to €40 / user / month |
| Professional CMMS | €40 to €80 / user / month |
| Enterprise CMMS | €80 to €150 / user / month |
| On-premise solutions | €20,000 to €200,000 |

- Per site or per company: a global flat rate, often unlimited users. Attractive for organizations with many teams.
- Perpetual license: one-time purchase, but you must add annual maintenance, updates and infrastructure — often several tens of thousands of euros.
