Before you pay for ORBCOMM
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: a single tier at $99/month. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare ORBCOMM against the tools that do have one before committing.
ORBCOMM runs on satellite, web, and is published by ORBCOMM of Rochelle Park, New Jersey. The full record is on the ORBCOMM review, and the rest of the category is under best maritime & shipping tools.
