Which platform fits your team?

Choose UpKeep when…

Choose UpKeep when you need its Professional or Enterprise mobile, analytics, automation, and integration ecosystem and are comfortable with per-user pricing.

Choose RunTight when…

Choose RunTight when your team needs recurring PMs, meter tracking, parts, purchase orders, mobile work, and broad team access without moving into a $55-per-user tier.

Moving from UpKeep to RunTight

Keep the cutover small and reversible: export first, validate a clean import, and invite the team only after schedules and ownership look right.

  1. 1In UpKeep, open the Import/Export tab and export your current Assets and Parts as CSV files (work-order history can be exported from Reports for your records).
  2. 2Upload each CSV in RunTight's Import page. Common vendor headers are recognized automatically, and the preview lists any columns that need to be renamed to match the downloadable templates.
  3. 3Run the validation pass before committing; a completed import can be undone if the mapping needs another pass.
  4. 4Rebuild your PM schedules in RunTight — recurring schedules generally need a manual review during cross-platform moves, which is also a good time to retire PMs nobody was completing.
  5. 5Verify owners, intervals, and meter triggers on a handful of critical assets, then invite technicians so they start with a clean mobile queue, and archive the UpKeep workspace after sign-off.
