Know where your tools are. Know who has them. Keep your business moving. ShareMyToolbox is a simple way to organize and manage your tool inventory, equipment, and other assets your business depends on every day. Built for contractors and field teams, ShareMyToolbox gives everyone better visibility into what you have, where it is, who’s responsible for it, and what needs attention. 10+ YEARS OF EXPERIENCE. AN ALL-NEW APP. We’ve spent more than a decade helping businesses keep track of the tools and equipment that keep work moving. We took everything we’ve learned and used it to build ShareMyToolbox 3.0 from the ground up. The result is a modern mobile experience designed around how people actually work in the field. Finding an item. Scanning it. Borrowing it. Returning it. Transferring it. Getting it where it needs to go. It all feels familiar—just more intuitive and easier to navigate. Simple by design. SCAN TO GET THINGS DONE The new ShareMyToolbox scanner turns barcodes and QR codes into shortcuts for getting work done. Scan an item to instantly identify it, see relevant information, and take available actions. ShareMyToolbox can even recognize when an item has an open task requiring your attention and help you move directly from scanning to action. Borrow it. Return it. Transfer it. Take care of what needs to happen next. KNOW WHERE EVERYTHING STANDS Quickly search your tool inventory and equipment from the field. See what’s available, what’s assigned, who has it, and where it’s located without calling the office or searching the jobsite. MAKE OWNERSHIP EASIER Assign tools and equipment to employees, crews, jobsites, vehicles, warehouses, and other locations. Give your team the visibility they need to know what they’re responsible for and where things belong. Better visibility makes accountability part of the way work gets done—not another process to manage.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ShareMyToolbox at none against itemit's 19. ShareMyToolbox also leads on ratings volume (297 vs 4) and review sentiment (85% vs 76%). itemit's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, update cadence, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. itemit sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $39.99 per month. ShareMyToolbox asks for nothing beyond the download.
itemit holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ShareMyToolbox has 297 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of itemit's written reviews are positive against 85% of ShareMyToolbox's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
itemit ships an update every 3 weeks, ShareMyToolbox fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
