What you would be giving up
The record we hold does not list what S&P Global Maritime is typically used for, so there is no honest way to enumerate what a switch would cost you from this page alone.
Two things this page cannot settle. It compares on price, model, tier count and rating, because those are the fields the category listing carries, feature-level differences need both full records, which is what the head-to-head pages load. And the ratings are third-party aggregates imported with each entry rather than reviews written here, so a 0.2 difference between two tools is noise rather than a finding.
If S&P Global Maritime is broadly right and the question is cost, the S&P Global Maritime pricing breakdown covers every tier and what each one adds. If you want the whole field rather than a shortlist, the Maritime category lists everything the directory holds, and best maritime tools ranks them.
S&P Global Maritime runs on web, desktop. Platform coverage is not carried on the category listing for the alternatives, so it is one more thing to check on each head-to-head page rather than here.
