Clue Vs MaintainX

MaintainX Overview

MaintainX is a mobile CMMS. Teams use it to create work orders, run inspections, schedule PM, and share updates.

How It Compares to Clue

Both MaintainX and Clue help with work orders, PM, inspections, and mobile workflows. The difference is how maintenance is powered and what the platform is designed to support.

MaintainX is best when you want a simple tool for technicians to complete and document tasks quickly from their phones. Most triggers come from calendar intervals and manual meter entries, not live machine signals.

Clue is built for equipment uptime. It uses engine hours, utilization, fault codes, and inspection issues to trigger and prioritize work, and supports equipment tracking, dispatch, rentals, and costs so fleets manage performance, not just tickets. Clue connects to telematics and ERP tools, reducing re-entry and tying service history to every asset.
