Let’s get to it.
What is Asset Tiger?
Asset Tiger is a cloud-based asset management software created by MyAssetTag, a physical asset tag retailer. It was designed as a supplementary service to MyAssetTag customers so that they can track and manage their assets after buying tags from the retailer.
Features
With Asset Tiger, here’s what you can do:
- Barcode scanning
You can easily scan the barcodes of the asset tags you bought to track assets and update your asset register. - Asset check-in and checkout
You can see who has which asset at any given time, and print out reports to check which assets are due back - Maintenance scheduling
Schedule maintenance for assets and produce reports that show maintenance history
Pricing
Asset Tiger has a freemium model where you can manage up to 250 assets for free. There are annual subscription plans to buy asset tags, which is how you qualify to use the software if you have between 250-500 assets. You can either pay a $120 annual subscription for asset tags or buy asset tags worth a minimum of $180 to continue to use the software for free.
What is Asset Panda?
Asset Panda is a cloud-based asset management software that helps businesses to identify, track and manage assets. Clients include non-profit organizations, government, education, construction, healthcare, and religious institutions among others.
Features

Pricing
Asset Panda offers custom pricing depending on the number of assets you have. Pricing can be quite expensive starting from $1,500 and upwards.
