The short version

  • Only Vizion has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: MarinaOffice pricing is not published and the product is modular, so the quoted total depends on which add-ons you take and two marinas of the same size can be quoted very differently.; 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
  • They diverge on capability: MarinaOffice covers Visual marina, Vizion covers Universal carrier API.
  • 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.

MarinaOffice

  • Pricing is not published and the product is modular, so the quoted total depends on which add-ons you take and two marinas of the same size can be quoted very differently.
  • It is a Windows .NET application at heart, so remote and mobile use is weaker than browser-native competitors and staff working on the docks are less well served.
  • The same vendor sells MARINAGO as its cloud product, which raises a real question about how much future development the desktop line receives.
  • Running it on your own servers means you own SQL Server licensing, backups and patching, which is an infrastructure cost and risk that never appears in the software quote.
  • Presence is concentrated in North America, so operators elsewhere face weaker support hours, local payment options and fuel and tax handling.

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
