7 best EZOfficeInventory alternatives in 2026: checkouts, reservations, stock and pricing

How we chose these EZOfficeInventory alternatives

EZO combines asset tracking, checkouts, reservations, stock, purchasing and maintenance, so we matched one focused alternative to each of those jobs. We reviewed vendor-owned pricing and product pages on September 28, 2026, and re-read every price on October 11, 2026. We did not deploy the seven products side by side, test vendor support, or accept payment for inclusion.

Why teams look for EZOfficeInventory alternatives

EZOfficeInventory, now sold under the EZO name, does a lot. One platform covers asset tracking, check-in and check-out, reservations with an availability calendar, stock and inventory, purchase orders, RFID scanning, a self-service request portal, GPS, and a CMMS add-on.

That breadth is the reason to buy it, and also the most common reason to leave:

• You pay for a platform when you need one job. A team that only books shared equipment, or only tracks stock, or only tags tools, still adopts a system designed for all of them.
• Price scales with item count. Every plan is priced on the number of items you track, and Enterprise is priced by quote.
• Key features sit on higher plans. Custom fields and reports, team-based access, purchase orders, audits, and RFID start on Advanced; the request portal, GPS tracking, automations, and the CMMS add-on start on Premium.
• More modules mean more setup. Stock, bulk items, vendors, and purchasing all need configuring before the system reflects how your team works.

EZO’s pricing page shows Essential at $63.55 a month, Advanced at $85.51 and Premium at $100.88 for 300 items on yearly billing. The price rises with the item count, so Essential is $81.41 at 500 items, and Enterprise is priced by quote.

If your team genuinely uses reservations, stock, and purchasing together, EZO may still be the right choice. The alternatives below each do one of EZO's jobs in a more focused way.

The seven alternatives at a glance

Pricing was checked against each vendor's own pages on October 11, 2026, and each card below links the page it came from. Several vendors run promotions or price by quantity, so confirm on the live pages before you buy.

1. AssetCenter

AssetCenter is a narrower system than EZO by design. It tracks individually identified assets, the people and locations they are assigned to, and recurring subscriptions, and gives every asset one timeline of assignments, moves, maintenance, repairs, costs, and retirement.

It suits teams that chose EZO for accountability rather than stock: who has this laptop, drill, or vehicle, where it has been, and what it has cost. Phone-camera barcode and QR scanning opens the record where the work happens.

Where AssetCenter beats EZO

• History you can read: every event on an asset appears in order on one record, instead of spread across modules.
• Less to configure: no stock, bulk-item, or purchasing setup to design before the team can start.
• A free starting point: 25 assets free with no time limit, and flat monthly plans from $39.

Where EZO is stronger

AssetCenter does not manage stock quantities, reservations, purchase orders, or RFID. If those are central, EZO or one of the focused tools below is a better fit. Our EZOfficeInventory alternative comparison covers the two products in depth.

2. Cheqroom

Cheqroom is built for the reservation side of EZO: shared equipment that people book, collect, and return. Its Core plan includes reservations, check-outs, unlimited kits, custody and long-term loans, a mobile app, and SSO, with unlimited users and items for one location.

Pricing is per administrator and billed annually with a minimum admin count: Core is $184 per admin a month, Business $275 with up to three locations, audits and booking rules, and Enterprise $367 with up to ten locations, a self-service booking portal and RFID support.

Where Cheqroom beats EZO

• Booking-first design: reservations, kits, and booking rules are the product rather than one module among many.
• Unlimited users and items: the price follows the number of administrators, not the size of the equipment pool.

Watch for: per-admin pricing with an annual minimum is a significant commitment for a small team, and the self-service portal and RFID are on the top published plan.

3. Sortly

Sortly replaces the stock and supplies side of EZO. It is visual, mobile inventory: photos, folders, tags, QR labels, and quantities, with purchase orders listed from its Ultra plan.

Its free plan covers 100 unique items and one user. Advanced is $49 a month, or $288 for the first year billed yearly, for 500 items and two users. Ultra is $149 a month or $888, for 2,000 items and five users, and Premium is $299 a month or $1,788, for 5,000 items and eight users. Sortly says its 50% yearly discount applies to the first year only, with 20% off yearly plans after that.

Where Sortly beats EZO

• Quantities first: built for counting and reordering supplies and materials, not just tracking serialized assets.
• Easy for anyone to pick up: a photo-driven mobile app that field and warehouse staff learn quickly.

Watch for: user licenses are capped by plan, and individual asset custody and lifecycle history are secondary to inventory. Our Sortly comparison explains where inventory tools and asset tools diverge, and the Sortly alternatives roundup sets out its pricing plan by plan.

4. GoCodes

GoCodes focuses on tagging tools and field equipment and scanning them with a phone. Every plan includes QR and barcode scanning, GPS location recorded on scan, check-in and check-out, custom fields, and an inventory module.

Plans are annual and bundle assets with users: Standard is $500 a year for 200 assets and three users, Premium $1,000 for 500 assets and five users with 500 custom QR tags, Premium Elite $1,750 for 1,000 assets and ten users, and Professional $2,500 for 2,000 assets and 20 users with kitting and offline mode included. Enterprise is custom.

Where GoCodes beats EZO

• Built for job sites: scan a tool, record who has it and where it was, and move on.
• Tags included: higher plans ship custom QR tags, so labeling is part of the purchase.

Watch for: user counts are bundled into each tier, so a large crew can push you up a plan even with few assets.

5. Reftab

Reftab suits teams that use EZO mostly for IT hardware.

Its free plan tracks up to 50 assets with check-out and check-in, barcode and QR scanning, mobile apps, and import and export. The Hardware Asset Management plan, at $125 a month with unlimited users, adds integrations with Intune, Jamf, Jira and more than 30 others, plus audits, maintenance and lifecycle tracking.

Where Reftab beats EZO

• IT integrations: device data flows in from MDM tools rather than being entered by hand.
• A flat price with unlimited users: the hardware plan does not rise with the number of people.

Watch for: Reftab is IT-focused. For stock, reservations across departments, or field equipment, look at Sortly, Cheqroom, or GoCodes.

6. AssetTiger

AssetTiger is the budget option.

Plans run from $20 a month for 500 assets to $275 a month for 250,000, and every paid plan includes unlimited users, the REST API and the mobile apps. Annual billing gives one month free.

Where AssetTiger beats EZO

• Much lower cost: a 500-asset account costs less per month than EZO's entry plan at 300 items.
• No feature tiers: every plan has every feature, so growth only changes the asset limit.

Watch for: there is no permanent free tier, only a trial. Our AssetTiger comparison goes further.

7. Asset Panda

Asset Panda is the alternative for organizations that like EZO's breadth but want to shape it themselves. Fields, workflows, reports, and permissions are configurable per department, and its mobile apps scan barcodes and work offline.

Its cost guide describes user-based pricing from $3,000 a year for Starter and $7,500 a year for Business+.

Where Asset Panda beats EZO

• Process-shaped records: teams with unusual workflows can model them rather than adapt to fixed modules.
• Pricing by user, not item count: a large asset base does not by itself raise the price.

Watch for: it is the most expensive starting point here, and configuration takes time. See the Asset Panda alternatives roundup if you are weighing it.

How to choose

• Most of your EZO use is bookings: Cheqroom.
• Most of it is stock and supplies: Sortly.
• Tools and equipment moving between job sites: GoCodes.
• Laptops and IT hardware: Reftab.
• Knowing who has each asset and everything that happened to it: AssetCenter.
• The lowest price with unlimited users: AssetTiger.
• You use several EZO modules together: stay on EZO, or trial Asset Panda.

Before switching, export your EZO items with their checkout and maintenance history and test an import during the trial. Our equipment checkout software guide covers the custody, return, and reservation questions to settle first.
