Starkive Manifest review
Affordable Apple-focused asset management with local and cloud deployment options.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Starkive Manifest is a hardware asset register for organizations managing Macs, iPhones, contracts, leases, software licences, warranties, stockrooms, assignments, repairs and compliance evidence. It suits teams that want asset tracking organized around Apple devices and priced by tracked assets rather than seats. The product combines lifecycle records with QR labels, barcode scanning, NFC tagging, CSV import and export, network discovery, warranty and refresh forecasting, and audit evidence packs. An on-device AI assistant is available on compatible Macs.
Pricing is organized by deployment type and asset capacity. Starkive Local — 500 assets costs $19 per month and provides a local workspace on customer-owned devices with five admins included. Starkive Cloud — 500 assets costs $49 per month and adds cloud synchronization. At 2,000 assets, Local costs $49 per month and Cloud costs $99 per month; at 5,000 assets, the prices are $89 and $159 per month. The 10,000-asset tiers cost $149 per month for Local and $239 per month for Cloud. This structure makes the local option the lower-cost choice, while cloud synchronization is the main paid distinction between deployment tracks. A three-day populated demo is available.
Its ecosystem fit is strongest for teams using Apple device management and connected identity systems. Integrations include Jamf Pro, Microsoft Intune, Microsoft Entra, Okta, Dell warranty lookup, Lenovo warranty lookup and HP warranty lookup. The REST API includes field-level access controls, while the product also supports compliance reports, evidence packs and lifecycle records from purchase through retirement. Coverage centers on macOS, iOS and API, so organizations needing broader platform coverage or an employee-facing request portal should compare alternatives. Starkive Manifest is a strong fit for Apple-focused IT teams that value local control, asset workflows and predictable capacity tiers; teams with wider endpoint requirements should look elsewhere.
