If you're comparing EZOfficeInventory against other tools, you're likely already a current user weighing a switch, or an evaluator deciding between a proven incumbent and something newer. EZOfficeInventory has been the safe default for SME asset tracking for years, and it's genuinely solid. But its per-item pricing ladder, reporting complexity, and long-standing mobile scanner complaints leave a real opening for something built more recently around mobile scanning specifically.
Below is a plain comparison. Pricing, features, and where each product actually wins.
At a glance
| Dozz | EZOfficeInventory | |
|---|---|---|
| Starting price | $149/mo (Essentials), $99/mo billed annually | $40/mo (Essentials, 250 items) |
| User model | Up to 50 users included | Unlimited users on every tier |
| Trial | 30 days, no credit card | 15 days |
| Onboarding | 1-hour guided setup with a real person | Self-serve, documentation-led |
| Core strength | Mobile QR scanning, simple reporting | Mature feature set, RFID, integrations |
| Best for | Teams where mobile scanning is the daily action | Teams needing RFID or a help-desk integration stack |
| Where it struggles | No native RFID support | Mobile barcode scanner, reporting complexity |
How pricing actually compares
EZOfficeInventory's published pricing starts at Essentials, $40/mo for 250 items with unlimited users. Advanced is $55/mo, still 250 items, and adds RFID. Premium is $65/mo and adds workflow automation, AI features, and API access. Maintenance/work-order (CMMS) tracking isn't available on the entry Essential tier at all. It's reserved for Advanced and up.
Take an office with 400 assets that needs workflow automation. That requires Premium at $65/mo, but 400 assets exceeds the 250-item cap that applies across all three tiers, so you'll need additional paid item capacity on top of the base price. EZOfficeInventory doesn't publish a flat number for this. On Dozz, the same office fits comfortably inside Essentials: up to 500 asset titles and 2,000 total units, at $149/mo, with workflow automation and every other feature included at no extra tier or add-on. EZOfficeInventory is cheaper at the entry price point; Dozz is the one number with nothing added on top of it.
Dozz also applies a regional pricing multiplier in some markets and offers up to 30% off for verified schools and universities.

Mobile scanner. EZOfficeInventory's mobile barcode scanner is the most consistently flagged weakness across third-party reviews. Dozz was built QR-first specifically for mobile scanning, since that's the action most field and office teams do dozens of times a day.
Reporting complexity. A majority of reviewers mentioning EZOfficeInventory's reports describe them as complicated. Dozz's reports are built to be handed to a non-technical office manager or auditor without a training session first.
Tier-gated maintenance. EZOfficeInventory's entry Essential tier doesn't include maintenance/work-order tracking at all, it's reserved for Advanced and up. Dozz includes maintenance scheduling from the entry tier, with nothing to unlock by upgrading.
Where EZOfficeInventory wins
EZOfficeInventory has a long track record and a mature feature set built up over years of real customer use. Unlimited users on every tier is a genuinely competitive offer, especially for larger teams. Its integration set is broad, including help-desk and ITSM tools that some organisations depend on. RFID support at an accessible price point is a real advantage if your assets need it. It's a solid choice for teams that already have a help-desk stack it plugs into.
Where Dozz wins
Dozz's mobile experience (platform-free, no app to install) is built around QR scanning as the primary daily action, which is where EZOfficeInventory's reviews consistently show friction. Reports are built to be read by a finance team or auditor without extra training, rather than requiring you to learn a complicated report builder. Core features, including maintenance scheduling and depreciation, are included from the entry tier, not reserved for a higher plan. Onboarding includes a real person walking you through setup, and the trial is 30 days with no credit card, compared to EZOfficeInventory's 15-day trial.
Who should choose which
Choose EZOfficeInventory if: you need RFID under $60/mo, unlimited users is your primary constraint, or you already run a help-desk stack it integrates with.
Choose Dozz if: mobile scanning matters more than RFID, you want reports a non-technical office manager can read without training, or you want to trial without handing over a card.
