Pricing & what it costs
Varies by scope: per user, per building or per square foot. Lighter CAFM tools price per user/month; full IWMS suites are enterprise-quoted with implementation. Match scope to your portfolio to avoid overbuying.
| Typical tier | Ballpark | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Single/few sites | Per user | Maintenance + assets |
| Multi-site | Per building/user | Space, vendors, booking |
| Enterprise IWMS | Custom | Real estate + space + energy |
Ballparks are general market ranges, not quotes. Confirm current pricing with each vendor.

- Define scope (maintenance vs. full IWMS) before shopping
- Test request intake and vendor dispatch
- Confirm space/booking needs if hybrid workplace
- Check multi-site reporting
- Ask about implementation for larger suites
Risks & hidden costs
- Overbuying IWMS for simple maintenance needs
- Long implementations on enterprise suites
- Note: HOA and self-storage are excluded — see Featured Guides
Frequently asked questions
Facility management vs. CMMS?
CMMS focuses on maintenance/assets; facility software adds space, moves and real estate. If you mainly do maintenance, a CMMS may be enough.
Does this cover HOA or self-storage?
No — those verticals have dedicated independent guides. This page covers general facility management.
