Expert Verdict

Amper

Amper is a strong choice for job shops and contract manufacturers needing a broader FactoryOps platform — not just machine monitoring. PLC connectivity provides more depth than pure current-sensing competitors.

💰 Pricing: ~$50/machine/month · First 20 machines included in base plan · Custom quote for larger deployments

UpKeep

UpKeep is the right choice for maintenance teams wanting a proven, mobile-first CMMS with basic IoT sensor integration at published SMB-friendly pricing. Not suitable as a standalone machine health or advanced PdM platform.

💰 Pricing: $20–$125/user/month (published tiers) · Free plan available · Mobile-first CMMS
⚖️
Bottom Line
Amper wins 7 of 16 categories — a clear edge in the evaluated criteria. UpKeep is the stronger choice if mobile-first cmms is your primary requirement.
