The short version

  • Only Vizion has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: NAPA the Internet Archive's capture of NAPA's homepage on 1 January 2020 named six distinct maritime software products, NAPA Loading Computer, NAPA Emergency Computer, NAPA Logbook, NAPA Fleet Intelligence, NAPA Voyage Optimization and ClassNK-NAPA GREEN, with no price figure published for any.; 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: NAPA covers Ship design, Vizion covers Universal carrier API.

Where each one falls short

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

  • The Internet Archive's capture of NAPA's homepage on 1 January 2020 named six distinct maritime software products, NAPA Loading Computer, NAPA Emergency Computer, NAPA Logbook, NAPA Fleet Intelligence, NAPA Voyage Optimization and ClassNK-NAPA GREEN, with no price figure published for any.

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
