## Which one fits your team

UpKeep fits a team that wants free seats for requesters and third parties, its own ERP connections, or its Safety and Fleet products. FixAhead fits a team that wants PMs, checklists, spare parts, and offline work in one plan.

## What a team of 10 pays

| --- | --- | --- |
| UpKeep Essential | 240 |
| UpKeep Premium | 550 |
| FixAhead, billed annually | 66 |

## PMs by calendar or hour meter

Choose how each PM falls due when you set its schedule, and its work order arrives before then.

- **Calendar.** Daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly.
- **Hour meter.** Every set number of running hours, such as every 500.
- **Either.** Whichever comes first triggers the work order.
