The short version

  • Only IndoorAtlas has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: IndoorAtlas requires labor-intensive fingerprinting process, walking every corridor to build magnetic map for each venue; Lloyd's List Intelligence enterprise-only pricing with no public rate card available
  • They diverge on capability: IndoorAtlas covers Core Functionality, Lloyd's List Intelligence covers Vessel database.

Where each one falls short

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

IndoorAtlas

  • Requires labor-intensive fingerprinting process, walking every corridor to build magnetic map for each venue
  • Magnetic signatures degrade over time, requiring periodic re-fingerprinting as the environment changes
  • Magnetic interference from external sources and devices disrupts positioning accuracy
  • Positioning inconsistent across different smartphone models due to magnetometer heterogeneity
  • High cost to deploy and maintain, with expensive implementation for wide-scale adaptation

Lloyd's List Intelligence

  • Enterprise-only pricing with no public rate card available
  • Requires subscription and contract with minimal transparency on costs
  • Limited public documentation on specific data retention policies

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

IndoorAtlas: How does IndoorAtlas determine positioning without beacons or hardware?

IndoorAtlas uses patented geomagnetic fusion technology that maps the Earth's magnetic field patterns inside buildings through a process called magnetic fingerprinting. The technology combines magnetometer data with other sensors like WiFi and Bluetooth for robust positioning.

Source
Lloyd's List Intelligence: What real-time data does Lloyd's List Intelligence provide?

Lloyd's List Intelligence provides 100% fleet coverage with 200M+ daily vessel positions from real-time AIS data, Automatic Identification System (AIS) tracking, and vessel movement records across commercial fleets.

Source
IndoorAtlas: What is the initial setup process for IndoorAtlas?

Setup requires fingerprinting the venue by systematically walking through all corridors and spaces to build a magnetic map. The platform then identifies problematic areas through red (conflicting data), blue (insufficient coverage), and path orientation errors that require correction before the map is production-ready.

Source
Lloyd's List Intelligence: How accurate are Lloyd's List Intelligence predictions?

The platform's AI models predict destination with 70% accuracy, ETA to port within plus or minus 10 hours, and ETB within one to two hours for all commercial vessel types.

Source
IndoorAtlas: What are IndoorAtlas's pricing plans?

IndoorAtlas offers production subscriptions starting at 349 euros per month per venue, with a development plan at 400 euros per month. A free tier is available for developers to start building.

Source
Lloyd's List Intelligence: What AIS data sources does Lloyd's List Intelligence use?

Lloyd's List Intelligence combines terrestrial, shipborne, and satellite AIS data through their proprietary AIS SeaOrbis platform, launched in April 2025, validated by over 80 analysts.

Source
IndoorAtlas: How accurate is IndoorAtlas positioning?

IndoorAtlas claims industry-leading accuracy down to 50 centimeters using its 6-layer sensor fusion core across diverse environments, though accuracy varies based on building magnetic patterns and requires careful calibration.
