Snipe-IT is a free, open-source IT asset management system from Grokability, Inc., released under the AGPL license. It is positioned as an alternative to managing devices, licenses, and inventory with spreadsheets. It can be self-hosted or purchased as an official cloud-hosted service. The company clearly states that there is no feature difference between the free version and the hosted version; the hosted plans mainly provide deployment, maintenance, upgrades, security, and support.
The product covers management of assets, accessories, consumables, components, and licenses. It supports asset check-in/check-out, status tracking, full history logs, maintenance records, audits, custom fields, import/export, QR code labels, and barcode scanners. The admin dashboard provides visibility into recent activity and overall inventory status. For notifications, the system can send alerts to users and administrators for asset check-in/check-out, expected returns, license expirations, low stock, and audit reminders.
Snipe-IT supports LDAP/Active Directory, Google Secure LDAP, SAML, and SCIM, making it suitable for integration with enterprise identity systems. It also supports Slack notifications, JAMF, Kandji, Jira, and various low-code connectors. Its REST API is a strong point, with solid documentation, and the community also provides tools for PowerShell, .NET, Python, Google App Scripts, and more. However, the official website also notes that there is currently no official network/asset auto-discovery agent, so automated inventory checks need to rely on the API or external tools.
Self-hosting is free. Cloud hosting starts at $39.99/month or $399.99/year. The Small Business plan is $99.99/month or $999.99/year, while Dedicated small is $249.99/month or $2,499.99/year, with larger dedicated servers also available. Professional support is available in two tiers: Basic at $449.99/year and Enterprise at $4,999.99/year. Hosted data is located across multiple AWS regions worldwide, and the cloud platform promises a 99.99% SLA.
Its strengths are open-source transparency, no vendor lock-in, a complete feature set, API friendliness, and relatively clear pricing. Its drawbacks are that self-hosting requires operations capability, there is not yet an official native mobile app, and payments are limited to credit/debit cards, with purchase orders not supported. It is well suited to SMBs, universities, and enterprise IT teams managing device lifecycles and software licenses.
The collected text does not provide information about access from mainland China, localized payments, or ICP filing status, so china_access can only be assessed as unknown. If an organization has high requirements for network connectivity, invoicing, RMB payments, and local compliance, it may also want to evaluate GLPI, ManageEngine, Freshservice, ServiceNow ITAM, or domestic ITSM/asset management solutions.
