An honest comparison

OnHandly vs ShareMyToolbox.
The materials, not just the tools.

These two products answer different questions. ShareMyToolbox tracks tools and equipment: who has the drill, which job site it is on, and when it was last seen. For formal lending between employees, it is purpose-built.

OnHandly tracks the materials the work consumes: how many fittings are on Truck 7, which van is below minimum, and what to order this week. Crews feel both pains — buy against the one that is costing you mornings, and know that the two jobs do not substitute for each other.

CHOOSE ONHANDLY IF

The job is running stock: counting it, moving it, reordering it.

The core problem is materials: fittings, wire, filters, and parts that get used up and must be reordered.
Each truck and stockroom needs minimums, so shortages surface before the workday exposes them.
Shortages should turn into supplier-grouped purchase orders with quantities and estimated cost.
You want to know what the stock is worth, building by building or truck by truck.

CHOOSE SHAREMYTOOLBOX IF

Its strengths are your daily work.

The core problem is tools walking off: you need formal checkout, borrow requests, and accountability per tool.
GPS last-seen locations on equipment matter to your job sites.
You are auditing durable assets, not replenishing stock.

Can OnHandly track tools too?+

You can track durable items as located, counted inventory — a generator on Truck 7 is a record like any other. What OnHandly does not have is a person-to-person lending workflow; if formal tool checkout is the core need, a dedicated tool tracker fits that better.

Why is OnHandly cheaper for five users?+

Plan pricing is flat. Team is $79 a month and includes 5 users, 10 locations, 5,000 items, purchase orders, and job reservations — there is no base fee plus per-seat arithmetic.

Can we run both products?+

Yes, and crews do: one system for tool custody, OnHandly for consumable stock and purchasing. They answer different questions and do not conflict.
