The short version

  • Only VesselFinder has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: INTTRA iNTTRA's own homepage as captured by the Internet Archive on 18 January 2022 confirms it operates under E2open with a 'Learn About E2open' link on its own navigation, and pricing remains bare contact-sales with no named editions; a customer testimonial quoted on the same page (not INTTRA's own pricing) cites Bill of Lading fee savings of $25 to $75 per shipment from consolidating onto the platform; VesselFinder aPI access is billed in credits, and a satellite AIS position costs 10 credits against 1 for a terrestrial position
  • They diverge on capability: INTTRA covers Electronic booking, VesselFinder covers Real-time tracking.

Where each one falls short

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

INTTRA

  • INTTRA's own homepage as captured by the Internet Archive on 18 January 2022 confirms it operates under E2open with a 'Learn About E2open' link on its own navigation, and pricing remains bare contact-sales with no named editions; a customer testimonial quoted on the same page (not INTTRA's own pricing) cites Bill of Lading fee savings of $25 to $75 per shipment from consolidating onto the platform

VesselFinder

  • API access is billed in credits, and a satellite AIS position costs 10 credits against 1 for a terrestrial position
  • Credits expire 12 months after purchase
  • Credit packs start at 330 EUR for 10,000 credits, excluding VAT
  • Tracking a vessel outside terrestrial AIS range multiplies the cost of every position tenfold, so open ocean coverage is the expensive case rather than the standard one
