AssetTiger works, but it may not be the best fit for everyone
Barcode-focused
AssetTiger is built around traditional barcode scanning. QR-based scanning works differently and requires their app.
Custom fields capped on free plan
The free plan limits you to 5 custom fields, which can be restrictive if you need detailed tool records.
Learning curve for setup
AssetTiger offers many features, but some teams find the initial setup and configuration takes longer than expected.
Free plan limits users
With only 2 users on the free plan, growing teams have to upgrade before adding more team members who need basic check-out access.
Mobile app required
Crew members need to download and sign in to the AssetTiger mobile app to scan barcodes, which adds friction for field teams.
OrbitEquip is a simpler alternative focused on QR-based check-in/out. No app install, unlimited users on every plan, and no asset limits on paid plans. If your main need is tool and equipment check-out tracking, it's a more straightforward fit.
