Asset Panda alternatives in 2026, with prices.
Asset Panda publishes no prices, so this page lists the ones that do. Written by a competitor, every claim dated and checkable.
The short answer
Asset Panda sells by custom quote with a 7-day trial and unlimited users, so you can't price it before talking to sales. If you lend equipment and want a published price, try ItemTally (free for 1 editor and 10 borrowers, €19/mo for 5 editors and 50 borrowers; we make it, so weigh this page accordingly). Snipe-IT hosted ($39.99/mo, unlimited assets and users) suits an IT team, Shelf.nu Team ($370/yr, unlimited users) suits teams where everyone needs a login, and EZO EAM is the nearer match if you need a full asset suite. If you audit assets offline on phones today, Asset Panda does that and the others here mostly do not.

Why people look for an alternative
Asset Panda is a configurable platform: custom collections, forms and roles, with unlimited users, offline mobile auditing and sector offerings for schools and public bodies. The reasons teams look elsewhere are narrower. There is no price on the page, so you can’t compare it with anything before a sales conversation. Allowances follow the plan you are quoted, so growth means another conversation. And the setup is a project: the flexibility that fits unusual assets is more than a team lending out cameras or tools needs.
How to choose in five minutes
Decide what you use Asset Panda for today.
- Lending equipment to people, with due dates and signatures: ItemTally or Cheqroom.
- IT assets and licences: Snipe-IT, hosted or self-hosted.
- A register where every colleague needs a login: Shelf.nu Team, or any tool with unlimited users.
- Offline audits in the field, custom forms and workflows: stay with Asset Panda. None of the tools here match its configurability, and ItemTally’s offline apps are not released.
- Purchase orders or depreciation: EZO EAM or a full asset suite. ItemTally is not an ERP.
Then confirm you can get your data out as CSV on the plan you will actually use. Asset Panda’s FAQ describes importing from Excel and CSV; ask their support about exports before you commit to leaving.

Moving your register out of Asset Panda
Export each collection as a spreadsheet, save it as CSV, then map name, serial, location, assigned person and your custom fields on import. Keep each item’s barcode value in the file so existing labels keep scanning where the new tool supports it. The switch guide covers ItemTally’s import step by step.

- Best for
- A broad asset suite with published list prices and unlimited users
- Price
- From $81.41/mo for Essential, each plan based on 500 items; Enterprise by quote

Snipe-IT hosted
- Best for
- IT teams that want laptops, licences and accessories in an open-source tool
- Price
- $39.99/mo or $399.99/yr; unlimited users and assets. Self-hosting is free
Unlimited assets and users from the first hosted tier, and you can run it yourself for nothing. It is built around IT assets and licences, and it is less of a fit for lending shared equipment. See our comparison.

Shelf.nu
- Best for
- Teams that want unlimited assets and everyone with a login
- Price
- Free for 1 user; Team $370/yr, unlimited users
Unlimited assets on every plan. Bookings need Team, and audits are a paid add-on. Its pricing page shows two different monthly figures for some plans, so read the yearly price. See our comparison.

Sortly
- Best for
- Photo-first stock in folders, with a polished phone app
- Price
- Free for 100 unique items and 1 user; paid from $24/mo billed yearly in the first year (2 users, 500 items)
Easy to learn, but it caps unique items and users per tier. The yearly discount applies to the first year only. It is stock first, so it suits a supplies room better than a loan desk. See our comparison.

Cheqroom
- Best for
- Media, education and rental teams with large equipment pools and bookings
- Price
- Core from 184 per admin a month billed yearly, 3 admins minimum (checked 16 October)
Built around reservations and check-out. Its pricing page was unreachable on 6 November, so the figure is from our 16 October check. See our comparison.

What is the best alternative to Asset Panda?
It depends on the job. For lending equipment at a published flat price, ItemTally or Cheqroom. For IT assets, Snipe-IT. For a broad suite with list prices, EZO EAM. If you audit offline on phones today, Asset Panda may still be the right tool.

Snipe-IT is free to self-host, Shelf.nu has a free plan for one user, Sortly is free for 100 items and one user, and ItemTally is free for 1 editor and 10 borrowers with every feature.
Does Asset Panda work offline?
Yes. Its FAQ says barcode scanning and audits work without Wi-Fi or cell service once you have downloaded the records, and changes sync on reconnect. ItemTally's offline phone apps are in testing, so ItemTally needs a connection today.
Can I move my Asset Panda data to another tool?
Ask Asset Panda for a spreadsheet export of each collection and save it as CSV. ItemTally, Shelf.nu and Snipe-IT import CSV, and ItemTally shows a dry-run preview before anything is written.
