The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Dataloy no pricing published on website; NAPA Fleet Intelligence model-derived performance from AIS and noon reports is an estimate, so it supports fleet screening and dispute evidence better than fine-grained optimisation of a single ship.
  • They diverge on capability: Dataloy covers Voyage planning, NAPA Fleet Intelligence covers NAPA Performance Model.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Dataloy

  • No pricing published on website
  • Requires contacting sales team for quotes
  • Custom pricing model per organization
  • No transparent pricing or trial information

NAPA Fleet Intelligence

  • Model-derived performance from AIS and noon reports is an estimate, so it supports fleet screening and dispute evidence better than fine-grained optimisation of a single ship.
  • Pricing is per vessel and unpublished, and modular scoping means the quote you compare against a competitor may not cover the same functions.
  • Building the vessel-specific performance model requires hull form and design data that owners of older or second-hand tonnage often do not have, which turns onboarding into a data hunt.
  • It is a monitoring and advisory layer, not a system of record; you still run a separate planned maintenance system, a chartering system and a crewing system.
  • NAPA is strongest in the design and stability world, and its operational reference base, while real, is smaller than the pure voyage-optimisation specialists, so integration breadth with commercial shipping software is narrower.
