Inventory/Equipment Management

I am looking for recommendations on inventory management software. Something better than a giant excel sheet, but without spending thousands of dollars every year. I like the idea of barcoding, but it wouldn't necessarily be required.
I've looked into "Costume and Theater Inventory Resources" (https://www.costumeinventory.com/), but can't find any reviews on them.
More Details:
This year, I was given the opportunity to have a work study student as my assistant TD, and one of his main jobs for this season is going to be taking inventory. We are fortunate enough to have a fair amount of lighting/sound equipment, as well as a whole room of costume pieces and some props etc. etc. The purpose behind this is two-fold: firstly to know what we have and to be able to prioritize replacements on equipment etc, and secondly to hopefully be able to rent some of our inventory to other people.
 
Production company I worked for used Hiretrack but a big portion of the program is rentals/pull lists and that side of things which may not be needed just for inventory management. I always liked it because it was fairly straightforward and they have pretty good service and are willing to work with you to help fit your needs.

I started using "Snipe-IT", which is an open-source program. Only costs me $3.50/month to host my AWS Virtual Machine. You need to code it yourself in linux, but once you get it running it's very user-friendly, and has a bunch of features! https://snipe-it.readme.io/docs
