The short version
- Each has a real cost: Petasense petasense is now owned by AssetWatch, whose business is monitoring delivered as a managed service, so a buyer wanting self-service software should get the delivery model written into the contract rather than assume it.; Sensemore the company is small and young, so the failure-mode library behind its models is built on a much narrower installed base than SKF or Augury can draw on, and diagnostic specificity reflects that.
- They diverge on capability: Petasense covers Vibration Mote, Sensemore covers Wireless vibration sensors.
- Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Petasense
- Petasense is now owned by AssetWatch, whose business is monitoring delivered as a managed service, so a buyer wanting self-service software should get the delivery model written into the contract rather than assume it.
- Hardware is required per measurement point and gateways are required per area, so the up-front capital for a plant-wide deployment is substantial and separate from the subscription.
- Per-asset subscription pricing scales linearly, which makes full coverage of a large population of low-value motors uneconomic compared with route-based monitoring.
- Nothing is published on sensor cost, subscription rate, gateway requirements or contract length, so a total cost of ownership figure requires a full sales engagement before you can compare it against anything.
- Battery-powered wireless sensors trade measurement richness for battery life, so the sampling rate and resolution are lower than a wired analyser would give, which limits diagnosis of high-frequency bearing defects on critical machines.
Sensemore
- The company is small and young, so the failure-mode library behind its models is built on a much narrower installed base than SKF or Augury can draw on, and diagnostic specificity reflects that.
- Support and spares are largely delivered through distributors, so response quality varies by country and buyers outside Turkey and the immediate region should verify local coverage before ordering.
- Pricing is not published and routes through integrators, which means the software cost is often bundled into a project price you cannot decompose.
- Long-term vendor viability is an open question for a venture-stage hardware company, and a sensor network is a ten-year commitment; an exit or wind-down would strand the installed hardware.
- Documentation and the analytics user interface are thinner than established competitors, so teams without vibration expertise get less guidance in interpreting what the platform flags.

Questions people ask
- Is Petasense or Sensemore better?
- Neither clearly leads. Petasense starts at On request and Sensemore at On request, and user ratings are close enough to be indistinguishable. Choose on capability and platform support.
- Which is cheaper, Petasense or Sensemore?
- Petasense starts at On request and Sensemore at On request.
- Does Petasense or Sensemore run on more platforms?
- Petasense runs on Web, Cloud, iOS, Android. Sensemore runs on Web, iOS, Android.
- What is Petasense best used for?
- Petasense is most often used for a reliability team wanting continuous vibration data on assets currently covered by a quarterly walkaround route, a plant with variable frequency drive assets where generic vibration analytics produce too many false alarms, mixing battery sensors on accessible pumps with wired sensors on the handful of assets that would stop production, a manufacturer with no in-house vibration analyst that wants the analysis delivered as a service rather than as a dashboard. Of those, a reliability team wanting continuous vibration data on assets currently covered by a quarterly walkaround route and a plant with variable frequency drive assets where generic vibration analytics produce too many false alarms are not what Sensemore is typically brought in for.
- What can Petasense do that Sensemore cannot?
- Petasense covers Vibration Mote, Transmitter range, ARO cloud, VFD-specific monitoring. Sensemore covers Wireless vibration sensors, Handheld analyser, Cloud platform, Machine learning models.
Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Petasense: Is Petasense still a separate product?
Yes. It trades under its own name with its own product line, but the owner since January 2024 is AssetWatch.
Sensemore: Where is Sensemore based?
Istanbul, Turkey. It designs and manufactures its own sensing hardware.
Petasense: Do I have to buy Petasense hardware?
Yes. The platform is built around its own Motes and Transmitters; it is not a bring-your-own-sensor analytics product.
Sensemore: Is pricing published?
No. Hardware and platform are quoted, usually through a distributor or system integrator.
Petasense: Can I get monitoring as a service?
Yes, through parent AssetWatch, whose model is condition monitoring engineers reviewing your data. Clarify which model your quote covers.
Sensemore: How does it compare on cost?
It is positioned below the established Western condition monitoring vendors, which is the reason most buyers evaluate it.
Petasense: How is it priced?
Per monitored asset on subscription, plus sensors and gateways. Nothing is published.
Sensemore: Can I get the raw data out?
Yes, there is a REST API and MQTT support for pulling measurements into other systems.
