vs Limble
More platform. Less Limble.
Limble ships CMMS + integrations. UpKeep ships a full asset operations platform — Nova AI, Studio, Learn, Safety, Fleet, Edge IoT and Providers, all native.
- Nova AI is included on every plan. Limble's newest AI features are Enterprise-only. With UpKeep, every technician and manager gets the AI by default.
- Studio builds the apps your operation needs. Limble has no no-code app builder — shift handovers, custom inspections and unique compliance workflows still require spreadsheets.
- Fleet, Learn and Edge are native, not integrations. Limble relies on Samsara and third-party sensor APIs. UpKeep ships all three as first-party modules.
- No minimum-seat penalty. Limble's pricing scales painfully for smaller departments. UpKeep meets teams where they are.

1. AI on every plan
AI that actually shows up for work
Limble's newest AI features — duplicate request prevention, scheduling suggestions, MCP integration — sit behind the Enterprise tier. Everyone else gets a PM builder and nothing more.
Nova runs across every UpKeep plan. It drafts work orders, audits data on a schedule, flags recurring failure modes and answers questions in plain English. The people doing the work get the AI, not just the people approving the budget.
Nova included. No Enterprise tier required.

2. Studio
Build the apps you need. No engineers required.
Limble has no no-code app builder. When your process is unique — shift handovers, hydraulic cylinder certifications, vendor scorecards — you build spreadsheets or file product requests.
Studio lets anyone describe what they need in plain language and ship an app in minutes. Every app reads and writes your real UpKeep data — no integration projects, no engineering tickets.
3. Platform breadth
One login. Every module.
Maintenance is just the start. Run safety, learning, fleet and IoT monitoring in the same platform. Same login, same data model, same mobile app.

4. Customer success
24/7 support. On every plan.
When your line is down at 3 a.m., sales-tier gating isn't helpful. UpKeep includes 24/7 live chat and a dedicated customer success team on every paid plan, not as an upsell.
24/7 live chat
Real humans, actually around the clock. Average response under 3 minutes.
Dedicated CS team
Your team gets a named customer success manager. Onboarding, QBRs, expansion support. Not a ticketing queue.
White-glove migration
Switching from Limble? We handle asset, PM and work order history imports. Most teams are fully live in under 30 days.
Migration
Switching from Limble is straightforward
Most teams are fully migrated from Limble in under 30 days.
Export your data
Assets, PMs, work order history, parts, vendors. Our CS team walks you through the export or handles it for you.
We set up your workspace
Data mapped, users configured, integrations connected. You review before anything goes live.
Train and roll out
On-site or virtual training for your team. Phased rollout so you're never betting the whole operation on day one.
Questions teams ask before switching
Can I import my Limble data into UpKeep?
Yes. Assets, preventive maintenance schedules, work order history, parts inventory and vendor records can all be imported. Our customer success team handles the data mapping and validates everything with you before it goes live.
How does UpKeep pricing compare to Limble?
Limble starts at $28/user/month with no free tier and a minimum seat count. UpKeep is priced comparably and often lower once you add in Nova AI, Studio, Learn, Fleet and 24/7 support — all included. Limble gates equivalent capability to Premium+ and Enterprise.
Does UpKeep have the AI features Limble is releasing?
Yes, and then some. Nova is already live on every UpKeep plan — work order drafting, data audits, scheduled AI tasks and failure pattern detection. Limble's top AI features (duplicate WO prevention, scheduling suggestions) are Enterprise-only.
I use Samsara for my fleet. Do I still need to run it alongside UpKeep?
No. UpKeep Fleet is a native module with DVIRs, VIN lookup, mileage-based PMs and telematics integration built in. Many teams consolidate off Samsara once they migrate.
Can I try UpKeep before committing?
Yes. Book a walkthrough and we'll set up a sandbox with your actual data. You can run both systems in parallel during evaluation.
What happens to my Limble contract?
Most teams time the switch to the end of their Limble term. If you're mid-contract and want to move sooner, we can structure onboarding to keep your total spend flat during the overlap.
