Is EOL Tracking a Lansweeper alternative?

For the specific job of tracking end-of-life dates and getting warned ahead of them — yes, at a fraction of the price. For full IT asset management with automatic network discovery, license tracking and a helpdesk, Lansweeper does far more and costs accordingly.

Does Lansweeper track end-of-life dates?

Yes — its Lifecycle Insights feature pulls EOL data, but it's bundled at the Pro tier (roughly €359–439/month), not the Starter plan.

Which should a small team or MSP choose?

If the pain is specifically 'we get surprised by end-of-life dates', a focused tracker at €20/month solves it in an afternoon. If you also need automated discovery of unknown devices across large networks, that's the job Lansweeper is built and priced for.

EOL Tracking vs Lansweeper: which fits your EOL problem?

The honest one-paragraph answer

These are different-sized tools for different-sized problems. Lansweeper is a full IT asset management platform — automatic network discovery, software inventory, license and warranty tracking, reporting, integrations — starting around €199–239/month for 2,000 assets, with EOL data (“Lifecycle Insights”) bundled at the Pro tier (~€359–439/month). EOL Tracking does one job: track your assets' end-of-life dates and warn you months ahead — free up to 5 assets, €20/month unlimited. If you need everything Lansweeper does, buy Lansweeper. If you need the EOL problem solved, you're on the right page.

Choose Lansweeper if…

You don't know what's on your network and need automated discovery to find out. You manage thousands of assets, need software license compliance, warranty tracking, vulnerability matching, and want ITAM data feeding other systems. At that scope, its price is justified — discovery across large unknown estates is genuinely hard, and Lansweeper is one of the best at it.

Choose EOL Tracking if…

You already know what you own (or can export it to CSV), and the actual pain is being surprised by end-of-life dates — the failed audit, the emergency switch replacement, the firewall that silently stopped getting patches. You want the fix running today, not after a deployment project, and €200/year feels proportionate to the problem where €4,000+/year doesn't. MSPs get client and location grouping without per-client pricing.

The overlap case: both

Some teams run discovery-grade ITAM for the big estate and still keep a focused EOL tracker for the crown jewels — the core switches, firewalls and hypervisors where a missed date is an outage. There's no lock-in either way here: CSV in, CSV out. (Not sure what the EOL fuss is about? Start with the five real risks.)
