The short version

  • Each has a real cost: exactEarth company acquired and redirected; no pricing published on successor site; Molo pricing is not published and is quoted by business size, so a small marina cannot establish affordability without a sales process and has no benchmark for the quote.
  • They diverge on capability: exactEarth covers Satellite AIS data, Molo covers Space management.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

exactEarth

  • Company acquired and redirected; no pricing published on successor site

Molo

  • Pricing is not published and is quoted by business size, so a small marina cannot establish affordability without a sales process and has no benchmark for the quote.
  • Payment processing is integrated, which means the card rate is negotiated inside a software deal rather than shopped against a standalone merchant provider, and marinas rarely check it.
  • Molo is now part of Storable, a group whose main business is self-storage software, so marine-specific development competes for attention with a much larger adjacent market.
  • Accounting is receivables and invoicing with exports rather than a full general ledger, so most operators still run QuickBooks alongside and reconcile between the two.
  • Adoption depends on dock and yard staff using mobile apps in poor connectivity and rough conditions, and marinas consistently report that getting seasonal staff to record work reliably is the hard part of the implementation.
