Where each one falls short

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

FleetMon

  • Service discontinued in January 2024 and fully phased out with transition to MarineTraffic
  • Free tier coverage was limited compared to premium plans requiring subscription fees
  • Data gaps in regions with poor terrestrial AIS infrastructure before satellite coverage was added

Vizion

  • No price is published: the site names a pricing link but shows no per container rate, no plan tier and no minimum, and every route leads to a demo or a sales conversation
  • There is no self service signup, so even a small shipper must go through sales to start tracking
  • Container tracking, trade intelligence and supply chain optimisation are separate product lines rather than one subscription
