Before you request a quote, ask three questions. Who shows you the price before the sales call? Whose platform puts AS 1851 and Australian annual reporting at its core — not as one region among four? And when something matters, do you reach the people who build the product, or a ticket queue? On all three, the answer is Maintenance Partners. Here is the case, claim by claim.
We do: $150 per user per month ex GST, published, everything included, volume discounts on screen before you pay a cent. Uptick's pricing page asks you to request a custom quote — the figure arrives with the sales conversation, at the end of the process instead of the start.
Ours puts Australian standards at its core — AS 1851 as the data model, AFSS and the state equivalents — built by people who train and certify the industry here, and the same machine runs HVAC, test and tag, security and asset maintenance. Uptick carries four regions' standards on one platform; Australia is one market among several.
The numbers in our footer ring the people who build the product and make the decisions. At 1,000+ customers globally, Uptick's scale puts a support structure between you and the builders. Sign up online today, or book a demo with the team itself.
Every claim about Uptick below comes from Uptick's own public website, as at 2 September 2026. If something has changed, tell us and we will correct it.
Maintenance Partners: published — $150 per user per month ex GST ($165 inc GST), volume discounts shown before you pay. The whole price list is one line.
Uptick: per-user monthly pricing, figure not published — the pricing page asks you to request a custom quote.
Maintenance Partners: every module in the one licence — field app, office portal, compliance engine, client portal, quoting, invoicing, integrations. No tiers, no add-on pricing to discover later.
Uptick: also describes all-inclusive per-user licensing — but the figure stays behind the quote request, so what "all-inclusive" costs is something you learn at the end of the process, not the start.
Maintenance Partners: sign up online — the exact figure, GST included, is on screen before you enter a card. Or book a demo first.
Uptick: request a quote or book a demo; the price arrives with the sales conversation.
Maintenance Partners: built Australia-first — AS 1851 cycles, AFSS and state equivalents, with the standard as the data model, not a localisation layer.
Uptick: serves Australia, New Zealand, the UK and North America — four regulatory regimes on one platform, with Australia one market among several.
Maintenance Partners: built in Newcastle by a team whose directors include a Competent Fire Safety Practitioner who certifies assessors and helps write the industry's training material. The phone numbers in the footer ring the people who make the decisions.
Uptick: a global company serving 1,000+ fire businesses — your call lands in the support structure that scale requires, a long way from the people who make the decisions.
Maintenance Partners: Xero, MYOB and QuickBooks — the three platforms Australian fire businesses actually run on, wired into the same data model as the field app.
Uptick: an integration catalogue spread across the needs of four regions — breadth for a global footprint, rather than depth in the three platforms that matter here.
A comparison table tells you who wins on paper. These are the three things that win on site, engineered into the platform from day one.
No "repeat every 12 months" jobs to set up and babysit. Every asset carries its AS 1851 service programme, due dates are computed from the register, an annual falling near a six-monthly absorbs it into one visit, and completing it re-anchors everything beneath. You maintain the asset register — the schedule follows.
Most software moves the next due date when work is completed — which means it can never show a breach. Maintenance Partners also measures every asset against the fixed grid the standard implies, separating work done late from work never done. That is a compliance register you can hand to an auditor, not a console that just says everything is fine.
The field app carries a full replica of the technician's work — the entitled register, its histories, its checklists — on the handset. A technician can be a fortnight out of coverage without losing a thing. A basement with no signal is a normal working day.
Uptick acquired FireMate, the Australian fire maintenance software many local businesses grew up on. If that has you re-evaluating where your asset registers and service history should live for the next decade, move before you renew, not after — talk to the team about bringing your registers across, and get the answer from the people who would actually do the work.
For an Australian fire protection business, yes. You get published all-inclusive pricing instead of a quote request, a platform with AS 1851 and Australian annual reporting at its core, and direct access to the people who build it. This page lays the differences out claim by claim, sourced from Uptick's own website, so you can see them before anyone books you into a sales process.
Uptick does not publish its prices — its pricing page describes per-user monthly pricing and asks you to request a custom quote (as at September 2026). Maintenance Partners publishes its price: $150 per user per month ex GST ($165 inc GST), every feature included, with volume discounts for larger teams shown before you pay anything.
Businesses change fire software more often than you would think, and the thing that must survive the move is the asset register and its service history. Talk to the team about your current setup and what you need to bring across — you will speak with the people who would actually do the work, and get a straight answer before you commit to anything.
