[eMaint pricing](https://www.emaint.com/pricing/) says its prices will not increase for the term of your contract, but may change at renewal. ## What Professional adds for calibration and regulated work Check your calibration and regulated tasks against Professional’s list before you choose the plan. [eMaint pricing](https://www.emaint.com/pricing/) adds calibration tools: calibrations, calibration labels, and tracking of standards and tools. [eMaint pricing](https://www.emaint.com/pricing/) also adds e-signatures, advanced procedures, purchase and requisition management, and a mobile app with offline work mode. The [eMaint pricing](https://www.emaint.com/pricing/) page also lists a dedicated Fluke account manager and a sandbox staging account with Professional. ## What Enterprise adds for multi-site and regulated operations Check your multi-site and ERP needs against Enterprise before you commit to it. On Enterprise, [eMaint pricing](https://www.emaint.com/pricing/) adds global multi-site operations, single sign-on, prebuilt ERP and third-party connectors, and access to eMaint’s APIs. [eMaint pricing](https://www.emaint.com/pricing/) aims Enterprise at multi-site, global, or regulated operations with complex integrations. The [eMaint pricing industries list](https://www.emaint.com/pricing/) names GxP, US FDA 21 CFR Part 11, and validation readiness. ## Which systems eMaint connects to Check each system you must connect against eMaint’s named connections. [eMaint integrations](https://www.emaint.com/emaint-integrations) says eMaint integrates with leading ERP platforms, including SAP and Oracle. [eMaint integrations](https://www.emaint.com/emaint-integrations) says Fluke condition monitoring is integrated natively, and names SCADA and PLC data feeds. ## Where the app runs and whether it works offline Check whether your technicians need the app offline before you choose a plan. [eMaint mobile](https://www.emaint.com/mobile-maintenance) says the apps run on iOS and Android, and that eMaint mobile works fully offline. ## Which ways requesters can submit work, and what support covers Decide how requesters will submit work before you compare the plans. [eMaint pricing](https://www.emaint.com/pricing/) lists three ways to submit work requests, one of them requestor logins for tracked submission and history. [eMaint pricing](https://www.emaint.com/pricing/) states support by phone, email, and live chat at all plan levels, with a dedicated Customer Success Manager for Professional and Enterprise customers. Count your users against eMaint’s minimums, then set its prepaid annual commitment beside [FixAhead’s plans](/pricing/). ## Import your assets into FixAhead FixAhead imports assets in bulk from CSV and Excel files and checks every row, flagging errors.
