Azuga

  • Driver monitoring is contentious regardless of framing, and rewards do not remove that
  • Hardware installation per vehicle is real upfront cost and effort
  • Contracts are typically multi-year, which limits switching
  • A smaller ecosystem than Samsara or Geotab, with fewer third-party integrations

CesiumJS

  • The free Community tier does not permit commercial use
  • The cheapest commercial plan is $149 a month for an individual and $524 for a team
  • Team accounts are capped at 5 members on both the Commercial and Premium plans
  • Three separate quotas apply at once, being storage, monthly streaming and monthly reality modelling gigapixels, and exceeding any one of them constrains the account
  • Streaming is capped at 15 GB a month on the free tier
