Where it falls short

Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Spire Global Maritime.

Now part of Kpler rather than Spire, and spire.com/maritime redirects into the Kpler site
Pricing is not published
Sold as a data feed to be consumed through APIs, Snowflake, NMEA streams or FTP, so it needs engineering work before it is useful
