The right choice depends on three questions. Do you need medical direction, and in every state you operate in? Do your AEDs come from one manufacturer with its own connected platform? And do you manage only AEDs, or fire extinguishers, first aid and eyewash stations too?
AED Log
AED Log is AED program management software for organizations, and a white-label platform for the distributors who sell and service AEDs. It tracks AEDs of any brand and eight more kinds of safety equipment, for a published flat price per tier of AEDs.
Who it is for
Organizations that manage their own AED program, from one AED to hundreds across many locations, especially those that also look after fire extinguishers, first aid or eyewash stations. And AED dealers and service companies that want to offer AED management under their own brand.
Pricing model
Published flat tiers: $114 a year for 1 AED, $660 for 6 to 10 and $3,000 for 41 to 60, with unlimited users and locations. Other equipment types are add-ons per unit, and Medical Direction is $65 per AED per year. See pricing.
Brands supported
Any. A catalog of 8 brands and 27 models fills in pad and battery shelf lives, and any other AED is added by name.
Standout features
- Monthly inspection checklists on any phone, started from the AED’s QR label, with a corrective action when a check fails.
- Pad and battery dates filled in from a catalog of 78 parts, with alerts by email or in Slack, Microsoft Teams and Discord.
- CPR and AED certification tracking from 185 courses, plus a compliance calendar and PDF and CSV reports.
- FDA AED recalls checked weekly, matched to your AEDs and reviewed by a person, and AED Sentinel remote monitors linked to their AEDs.
- A full white-label platform for resellers: their name, logo, domain, prices and billing.
Limits
It runs in the browser rather than as a native app, alerts don’t go by text message, medical direction is an add-on rather than included, and existing records are imported by our team from CSV templates rather than self-serve. AED Log doesn’t sell supplies or lend AEDs.

How we chose and checked these tools
We included the tools US organizations most often look at when they search for AED program management software, and we took every fact about them from the maker’s own website, PDFs or app listing, checked on October 12, 2026.
- Primary sources only. Each fact comes from the company’s own pages, which are linked under Sources. Third-party reviews and resellers’ listings weren’t used.
- Left out when unconfirmed. A price or claim we saw only in search results, or couldn’t load on the company’s own site, isn’t on this page.
- Dated. Prices and features change. Everything here was checked on October 12, 2026, and we update the page when we recheck.
- Same questions for each. Who it’s for, how it’s priced, which AEDs it supports, what stands out and what it doesn’t do.
- Not every tool. This list covers the tools we could verify, not every AED product on the market.
AED Log wrote this page, and AED Log is listed first because it’s ours. If anything about another product is out of date, tell us and we’ll correct it. See also what AED program management involves.
Best AED program management software FAQ
What is the best AED program management software?
It depends on your program. For flat published pricing, more equipment types or a white-label platform, AED Log. For connected ZOLL, Stryker or Avive AEDs, their makers’ platforms. For bundled medical direction, Arch, AED Total Solution or AED365 Pro.
How much does AED program management software cost?
Where prices are published, per-AED plans start at $109 a year and rise with what they bundle, such as medical direction or supplies. AED Log charges a flat price per tier instead: $114 a year for 1 AED and $660 for 6 to 10.
Which AED management software includes medical direction?
Arch, AED Total Solution, AED365 Pro and Cintas’s LifeReady 360 include it, and ZOLL and Stryker offer it with PlusTrac and LifeLinkcentral Premium. AED Log sells it as an add-on at $65 per AED per year.
Which AED software can distributors white-label?
AED Log runs under the distributor’s own name, logo and domain. AED Total Solution offers partners their own branded URL, and Arch offers co-branded distributor sites that keep the Arch name.
Is there free AED tracking software?
A spreadsheet in Excel or Google Sheets is the free option, though it won’t remind anyone. AED Log isn’t free: plans start at $114 a year, with reminders, inspection records and reports included.
