Asset Panda is asset-tracking software with custom field support and mobile check-in/check-out workflows, but its pricing isn't published — you get a plan and cost only after a sales conversation, which makes it hard to compare against alternatives up front.
The tools below all publish their pricing. Two include check-in/check-out and custody-history tracking similar to Asset Panda; one is a simpler photo-catalog option for teams that don't need that workflow.
StockFlow
Starting price: Free, then $9/mo · Best for: Teams that want asset check-in/check-out and custody history without a sales call to get a price
StockFlow's Assets module covers equipment check-in/check-out, custody history, and maintenance scheduling, with published pricing from a free Starter plan. It's a closer functional match to Asset Panda's check-in/check-out workflow than a simple photo-catalog tool.
Pros
- Published, transparent pricing — no sales call required
- Check-in/check-out and custody history included
- Barcode field scanning built in
Cons
- Fewer years in the asset-tracking-specific market than Asset Panda
- Custom field depth may be lighter than an asset-tracking specialist
Sortly
Starting price: Free, then $49/mo · Best for: Teams that want a visual, photo-and-QR catalog rather than check-in/check-out workflows
Sortly's photo-and-QR model suits simple asset cataloging well, though it doesn't have Asset Panda's or StockFlow's check-in/check-out and custody-history depth. It's the right fit if you mainly need to know what you have and where, not who currently has it.
Pros
- Free tier available
- Simple, visual photo-led interface
Cons
- No check-in/check-out or custody-history workflow
- 100-item cap on the free plan
OpenInventory
Starting price: Free · Best for: A single person tracking unlimited assets with a phone camera and no team workflow
OpenInventory offers unlimited items and camera-based scanning for free, with no check-in/check-out or custody tracking, and is limited to one location and one staff member — a genuinely free option for the smallest possible use case.
Pros
- Unlimited items, completely free
- No item cap unlike most free asset-tracking tiers
Cons
- One location and one staff member only
- No check-in/check-out or maintenance scheduling

How we compared these
We weighted whether pricing is published up front (Asset Panda's is not, which is itself a common reason people look for alternatives), whether check-in/check-out and custody-history workflows are actually included, and fit for the size of team doing the tracking.
If Asset Panda's check-in/check-out and maintenance-scheduling depth is the actual requirement, StockFlow's Assets module is the closest functional match with transparent pricing. If you mainly need a visual catalog of what you own, Sortly or OpenInventory are simpler and lighter.
