If your asset register and your people live in two systems, custody becomes a text field. Wurxa Assets fixes that, free for up to 100 assets, with no trial clock running out.
Wurxa Assets is an asset register built on the same workspace as your employee records. Every laptop, vehicle and tool points at a real person, with QR labels, custody trails, stock audits and depreciation included. And at 400, 1,500 or 5,000 assets it costs less than half of what AssetTiger charges, before VAT.

The pricing, side by side
AssetTiger's published annual tiers, checked on 31 August 2026:
Wurxa Assets, from the same live pricing the application reads:
Every Wurxa band, Free included, comes with unlimited users. Wurxa prices are in AED and exclude 5% UAE VAT, which is added at checkout. Above 15,000 assets we set up a custom band with you.
Read the bands, not the headline
Tier against tier tells you very little. What matters is what a company with a given number of assets actually has to buy.
Dollar figures use the dirham's fixed peg of 3.6725 to the dollar. Add 5% VAT and Wurxa still costs less in every row: AED 1,249.50 at 5,000 assets is about $340, against $825.
The difference is not a discount. It is band shape. A company with 1,500 assets on AssetTiger buys a 2,500-asset tier, because that is the next one up. A company with 5,000 buys a tier built for twice that. Wurxa's bands are finer, so you pay for the register you have, not for capacity you will never reach.
Free that stays free
Everything above is arithmetic. This part is a difference in kind.
AssetTiger's free offering is a 30-day trial at 250 assets and 2 users. When it ends, in their own words, accounts that have not upgraded "automatically transition to view-only status" and you "may not add, edit, or delete assets or users". Once the trial runs out, the register stops being a tool.
Wurxa Assets is free for up to 100 assets, with unlimited users, permanently. No card, no expiry, no view-only cliff. A company with 60 laptops and a van never pays, and never has to think about it again. When the register grows past 100, Starter covers 500 assets for AED 390 a year.
Where a standalone tool runs out
The strongest reason to move has nothing to do with price.
An asset register exists to answer two questions: what do we own, and who has it. The first is a property of the asset. The second is a property of a person, and a standalone asset tool has no idea who your people are.
So custody becomes a text field. You type "Ahmed" into a box. Then Ahmed leaves, and nothing happens, because the asset system has never heard of offboarding and the HR system has never heard of the laptop. The two facts sit in two databases, and the only connection between them is somebody remembering.
In Wurxa, custody points at an employee record that also carries a joining date, a department, a visa expiry and a last working day. So the questions you can answer change shape:
None of that needs a workaround. It is what happens when custody points at a real record instead of a string, and a tool without your employee data cannot do it.
If you already run Wurxa for attendance or payroll, Assets is a module on the same workspace: same logins, same employee records, nothing new to administer.
What a move actually involves
The export is quick and the mapping is the work.
Get a CSV out of your current system with asset tag, description, category, location, purchase date, cost and current custodian.
Then tidy three things on the way in. Collapse the twelve categories you invented into the six you use. Clean up free-text locations before import, not after. And record current holders as fresh handovers, so the custody trail in Wurxa starts clean and points at real people from day one.
Your existing labels keep working. Import the same asset tag values and nothing needs relabelling.
For a few hundred assets this is an afternoon. For a few thousand it is a day, most of it spent on category decisions rather than on the import itself.
Who moves to Wurxa Assets
Teams whose assets and people are the same problem. Custody, handovers, offboarding, department views. This is the case the whole comparison turns on, and it is where a standalone register cannot follow.
Companies with 1,000 to 5,000 assets. The band shape works hardest here: about $188 against $440 at 1,500 assets, and about $324 against $825 at 5,000.
Anyone under 100 assets who is paying today. Wurxa Assets covers you for free, permanently, with your whole team on it.
Registers above 15,000 assets. Wurxa sets up a custom band with you, priced around your storage, import size, API and support needs, so a large estate gets the same custody-first register without a capacity cliff.
Start with the free band, assign one laptop to one person, and see how custody feels when it points at a real employee. Wurxa Assets gives you QR labels, custody trails, phone stock audits and depreciation on the same workspace as your people, free for up to 100 assets with unlimited users and no expiry. Start free, no card, or compare every band on the pricing page.
