The short version

  • Only Dreamdata has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Device Magic neither plan publishes a price and both carry a three user minimum billed annually, so a two-person business cannot buy it at all and a small firm cannot benchmark the quote against published competitors; Dreamdata company identification only reaches approximately 80% accuracy even with proprietary IP-to-company resolution
  • They diverge on capability: Device Magic covers Fully offline capture, Dreamdata covers Multi-touch attribution.
  • 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.

Device Magic

  • Neither plan publishes a price and both carry a three user minimum billed annually, so a two-person business cannot buy it at all and a small firm cannot benchmark the quote against published competitors
  • Device Magic is now part of GoCanvas, which sells an overlapping mobile forms product, so buyers should ask directly about long-term investment in Device Magic before signing a multi-year term
  • Per user per month pricing means seasonal and occasional field staff consume full seats, and businesses with a large casual crew pay for licences that are used a few weeks a year
  • It captures and delivers data but does not manage the work itself, so there is no job costing, no scheduling depth and no invoicing, and it usually sits alongside a field service management system rather than replacing one
  • PDF layout control is the main reason to buy it and is also the most fiddly part of the product; complex certificate layouts take real configuration effort and are not something a field supervisor will maintain

Dreamdata

  • Company identification only reaches approximately 80% accuracy even with proprietary IP-to-company resolution
  • Advanced features like custom attribution models require expensive custom pricing tier
  • Steep implementation lift for complex multi-touch attribution setup
  • Free tier limited to 2 months of historical data
