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; Wartsila Voyage limited publicly available pricing information requires direct contact with sales team
  • They diverge on capability: IndoorAtlas covers Core Functionality, Wartsila Voyage covers ECDIS navigation.

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

Wartsila Voyage

  • Limited publicly available pricing information requires direct contact with sales team
  • Requires specialized training for bridge crews to operate effectively in different vessel scenarios

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.

Wartsila Voyage: What is Navi-Sailor ECDIS?

Navi-Sailor ECDIS is an IMO-compliant electronic chart display system integrating GPS, radar, and AIS data for route planning and monitoring. It is one of the most installed ECDIS solutions worldwide.

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.

Wartsila Voyage: Does Wärtsilä offer fleet management integration?

Yes. Navi-Sailor ECDIS integrates with Wärtsilä Fleet Optimisation Solution to connect ship and shore, providing fleet teams better visibility and bridge teams streamlined workflows.

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
Wartsila Voyage: Is Wärtsilä Voyage compliant with maritime regulations?

Yes. Navi-Sailor ECDIS is fully IMO-compliant and designed to satisfy SOLAS Chapter V requirements. It supports S-100 standards for future maritime data interoperability.
