NEXT CMMS review
A CMMS with work orders, preventive maintenance and AI, plus a capped free plan.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
NEXT CMMS brings work orders, preventive maintenance, asset history, inventory and reporting into a cloud-based system for small and midsize maintenance teams. It also includes AI-assisted triage and maintenance insights, custom forms, approvals and audit records. Teams can use it through a browser or installable experiences for Windows, Android and iOS. Its scope suits teams looking to coordinate routine maintenance and field updates in one system; organizations with more specialized requirements should assess whether its documented workflows match their processes.
The published plans show a free tier with 2 users, 10 active work orders, 500MB of attachment storage, CSV export and 25,000 AI tokens per month. Starter costs $49 per month and raises the limits to 5 users, 100 active work orders, 10GB of storage and 500,000 AI tokens. Pro costs $99 monthly for 10 users, 300 active work orders, 50GB and 2M AI tokens, with a different analytics export suite. A 14-day trial is also available. Enterprise lists custom deployment, SSO, advanced access control, dedicated onboarding and support SLA, and private deployment options. The free plan offers a way to begin, but teams needing more capacity move to a comparatively substantial monthly entry price.
The product’s breadth is a practical fit for teams that need to connect scheduled maintenance with assets, downtime, costs, stock levels and parts used on work orders. Calendar- or meter-based schedules, QR scanning, photos, field updates and reporting address different stages of maintenance work. Integrations are described for ERP, BI, purchasing systems, sensors and automation workflows, alongside a tenant-scoped API. Mobile access is through responsive web/PWA experiences and installable app shells, rather than a promise of a standalone native app. Choose NEXT CMMS if its work-order and maintenance scope, free limits or paid capacity fit your team; consider alternatives if mobile delivery or a lower paid entry point is central to your decision.
