Cheqroom alternative

For teams that need the whole booking-and-checkout loop, without an enterprise budget to put behind it.

The same core loop

Itefy does what you use Cheqroom for: reserve → scan → check out → return → account for it. A shared calendar with automatic conflict prevention, QR labels scanned with any phone, checkouts with due dates and overdue alerts, and a complete history behind every item.

The difference is what it costs and how it’s packaged.

Cheqroom details as published on cheqroom.com, July 2026. Prices change — check both current pricing pages before deciding.

What Cheqroom has that we don’t

Single sign-on, RFID support, Google and Outlook calendar sync, an end-user booking portal, and a roster of enterprise references. If any of those is a hard requirement, Cheqroom is the better fit and we’d rather say so now than after a migration.

Worth knowing on the sign-in question specifically: Itefy offers Sign in with Google, but not SAML federation or enforced SSO. If your procurement team requires them, we’re not there yet.

What the switch actually costs

One Cheqroom admin licence — $184/month — is more than our entire top plan at $159/month, which carries 50,000 items, 20 seats and 500 GB of storage. Most teams moving across land on Startup ($39) or Business ($79).

If you’re still on their older asset-based pricing, there’s no rush. Price the move to per-admin pricing before your renewal date, and compare it with ours then.

01

Booking, with conflicts caught before they happen

Reserve single items, kits or full packages on a shared calendar. Availability is checked as you book — including across kits — so two crews can’t claim the same gear for the same day.

  • Month, week and day views, colour-coded by purpose
  • Recurring reservations for repeating needs
  • Turn a reservation into a checkout in one click

02

Maintenance included, not invoiced separately

Preventive schedules, faults reported from a phone with a photo, repairs tracked to completion and condition history kept per item — on every plan, including the $15 one.

  • Preventive maintenance schedules with automatic notifications
  • Issue reporting from the field, with pictures and severity
  • Repair and condition history attached to each item

Moving across is an afternoon

Export your equipment to CSV or Excel, then import it with the guided wizard. It maps your columns to Itefy fields and lets you review and adjust every row before anything is created — and existing QR labels keep working, so nothing needs re-tagging.

  • Column mapping with row-by-row review before import
  • Pictures, specifications and custom fields come across
  • Export everything back out at any time
