The short version

  • Only Vizion has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Q88 the Internet Archive's capture of Q88 LLC's corporate homepage on 19 February 2016 stated Q88.com had 75% of the world-wide tanker industry onboard and served over 1,000 clients across four named products (Q88.com, Q88Dry.com, Milbros.com, Q88VMS.com), with no price figure published for any; this is a 2016 capture and figures are dated.; 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: Q88 covers Vessel questionnaires, Vizion covers Universal carrier API.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 30 August 2026.

Q88

  • The Internet Archive's capture of Q88 LLC's corporate homepage on 19 February 2016 stated Q88.com had 75% of the world-wide tanker industry onboard and served over 1,000 clients across four named products (Q88.com, Q88Dry.com, Milbros.com, Q88VMS.com), with no price figure published for any; this is a 2016 capture and figures are dated.

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
