Cheqroom alternatives: Asetavo vs Cheqroom
Cheqroom is built for equipment check-out and reservations, with unlimited users and items, priced per admin licence from 3 admins. Asetavo has a free plan and flat published USD plans, and its Business plan includes maintenance, 8-method book-and-tax depreciation and UHF RFID with fixed readers and zones.
You want a free plan to start on and a flat monthly price instead of per-admin licences, maintenance work orders and PM included in your plan rather than bought as an add-on, depreciation with separate book and tax views, and UHF RFID with fixed readers and zone movement alerts.
Lending equipment is your main job: Cheqroom lists reservations, kits and check-out on every plan, a self-service booking portal add-on, native iOS and Android apps, and unlimited users and items, with only admins licensed. It suits media, AV and university equipment rooms where many borrowers need access.

Cheqroom is a strong fit for equipment rooms that lend gear all day. Its pricing page lists check-out, reservations, unlimited kits, custom fields, SSO, an API and webhooks on every plan, and unlimited users and items, so only the people who run the system need a paid admin licence. It lists native iOS and Android apps, a self-service booking portal add-on and UHF RFID with a Bluetooth handheld reader. Asetavo covers check-in/check-out without a reservations calendar and includes 2, 10 or 25 by plan. If many borrowers need access and reservations come first, Cheqroom may suit you better. Other options: teams comparing Cheqroom also look at check-out-focused tools, inventory-first apps and IT-focused open-source software. Our compare hub covers several of them, and our best asset tracking software guide explains how to choose by use case.
