How we compiled this
Pricing re-verified via WebFetch against each vendor's official pricing page on 2026-06-18, with WebSearch on Capterra/GetApp/CostBench used to corroborate figures that the live page truncated (EZO) and to confirm compliance certifications against official vendor security/press pages. Sortly, Cheqroom, Reftab and Snipe-IT prices were read directly off the live official pricing pages. EZO's official pricing page truncated under WebFetch; Essential $48 / Advanced $58 / Premium $65 (starting price for 100 tracked items, unlimited users under fair-use) corroborated via GetApp and CostBench. itemit publishes only GBP and Timly only EUR; monthlyUsd is null with local-currency figures in notes. Cheqroom and Reftab paid plans are billed annually; the monthly figure shown is the annual-contract monthly-equivalent. Compliance set true only where the vendor explicitly states it: Sortly (SOC2/GDPR via Capterra + security page), EZO (SOC2 Type II + ISO 27001 via ezo.io/security and PRNewswire; GDPR via blog), Cheqroom (SOC2 Type II + GDPR explicit on security page), Reftab (SOC2 Type II on security page, GDPR explicit on /gdpr page), Asset Panda (SOC2 Type II for the security criterion only, per official press release), Timly (GDPR + ISO 27001 hosting on pricing page). itemit and Snipe-IT make no explicit certification claims, so compliance is null. accessedAt 2026-06-18.
