The short version

  • Each has a real cost: project44 project44's homepage describes its supply chain visibility product families in depth but every pricing action is a 'Request a demo' or 'Contact sales' CTA, with no edition names or figures published; Sea Machines requires hardware fitted to the vessel; the autonomy systems are retrofits or new build installations rather than a software purchase
  • They diverge on capability: project44 covers Real-time tracking, Sea Machines covers Autonomous control.

Where each one falls short

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

project44

  • project44's homepage describes its supply chain visibility product families in depth but every pricing action is a 'Request a demo' or 'Contact sales' CTA, with no edition names or figures published

Sea Machines

  • Requires hardware fitted to the vessel; the autonomy systems are retrofits or new build installations rather than a software purchase
  • Targeted at vessels from 10 to 300 ft, so it does not address the largest commercial tonnage
  • Pricing is not published and is arranged directly with the vendor
  • The SM300-NG is the class-approved unit, so the cheaper SM300-SP does not carry the same approval
