LeakClock vs Trakref

Trakref is the most established name in refrigerant compliance — now part of the Fexa facilities platform, built for large, multi-location organizations with a dedicated compliance team. It's a genuinely deep product. But if you run a 12-truck HVAC-R shop, you're buying enterprise software (and enterprise pricing) to solve a problem LeakClock solves for $19/month flat. Here's an honest look at both.

Where Trakref wins

If you manage compliance across dozens or hundreds of locations, need portfolio-level ESG and emissions reporting, or must satisfy multiple state regimes (California CARB R3, SCAQMD 1415, New York, Washington, New Jersey) with a dedicated compliance officer, Trakref is the deeper platform and the right tool. That depth is exactly what an enterprise needs — and exactly what a small shop pays for and never uses.

Where LeakClock wins

Price built for a shop

$19/mo flat, not a quote and an implementation timeline. The math, the clock, and the binder — without the enterprise contract.

Zero ramp-up

Sign up, add your 15+ lb appliances, and your techs are logging service the same day. No sales cycle.

The field is the point

An offline app for the tech at the rack: scan the tag, weigh the cylinder, done. The law's math and paperwork happen automatically behind it.

Exactly the AIM Act scope

Purpose-built for the federal 15-lb rule (40 CFR §84.106) a small shop must meet — nothing more to configure.
