Asset Panda

Where Equipment Tracker Pro and Asset Panda differ

Only the rows where the two are marked differently are listed: 29 of 39. Yes is included, Pro is on the paid plan, Limited is partial, No is not offered, and Not listed means the vendor material this page was checked against says nothing either way. Rows we have not checked for this vendor are left out.

Who should pick which

Pick Asset Panda if

You are Enterprise IT, corporate asset management. It is a Asset Tracking, and the price is No published pricing — quote only, after a demo.

A large enterprise with a mixed asset register: Configurable asset management across categories that are nothing like each other.

Pick Equipment Tracker Pro if

An HVAC technician: You are at the unit with a phone, and the record has to be made and retrieved right there.

In the table above Equipment Tracker Pro is marked Yes, Pro or Limited and Asset Panda is marked No for: AI Nameplate Scanner, AI Condition Assessment, AI Invoice & Work Order Scanner, AI Diagnostics & Troubleshooting, EPA Leak Rate Calculator, Refrigerant Recovery Tracking, Refrigerant Stock & Fits Compatibility, HVAC-Specific Reports, HVAC Field Tools & Charts, Invoicing off a Finished Job, with Payments & Balances, Guest / Vendor Forms, Vendor Check-In QR Door Sign & Calendar Logs, Landlord & Rental Tools.

If you are comparing us with Asset Panda

Asset tagging is the overlap, so here is precisely what ours does. Equipment Tracker Pro generates and prints QR asset labels in three modes. Link Mode opens a public read-only page for that unit from any phone camera. Text Mode encodes the fields you choose — model, serial, filter and belt size, notes — as plain text any camera can read. JSON Mode encodes a compact payload the app itself reads, which prefills a new equipment form for the person scanning to review and save. Layouts export print-ready for field label makers. Text and JSON labels are free to generate; Link Mode is the paid one, because it publishes and hosts the page the sticker points at. Scanning is free in every mode.

Now the part a vendor page normally leaves out. The blind comparison rates Asset Panda above Equipment Tracker Pro on raw asset-management capability, while ranking it seventh on the narrow HVAC-equipment question — both of those are true at once, and which one matters depends on what you are tracking. What sits behind our tag is HVAC-shaped: nameplate electrical specs, filter and belt sizes, refrigerant type and charge, warranty dates, service history. A configurable asset database spanning a mixed corporate estate is a different product category, and on that measure Asset Panda is the stronger tool.

Getting your equipment list across, and labelled

Two questions come up on the way over from any of these, and neither is about features. The first is getting what you already have into the app: the CSV importer reads a spreadsheet export, maps its columns onto the equipment fields and the building each unit sits in, and costs nothing on either tier — so a register that exists already does not get retyped at a desk.

The second is labelling the units once they are in, which is what makes a record open from the equipment instead of from a search box. The QR label generator prints a sticker per piece of equipment in three modes. Text and JSON labels are free to make, because everything is printed onto the sticker itself; only Link Mode needs Pro, because the public page that label opens has to be hosted.
