Bevywise IoT Platform vs Cumulocity IoT

Bevywise IoT Platform manages connected devices with provisioning, firmware updates, and remote commands. It supports MQTT, MQTT Sparkplug B, and HTTP, and can be deployed in cloud or self-hosted environments. The listed interfaces are Android, iOS, and web. Bevywise states a device limit of 500 devices. Its paid plans have one-time prices for some capacities: Lite costs $1,500, paid once for up to 500 clients, while Starter costs $2,499, paid once for up to 1,000 clients. The client-cap figures and the separate device-limit figure may apply to different parts of a deployment, so capacity planning requires checking the intended setup. There is no free plan. The combination of provisioning, firmware management, remote commands, protocol support, and cloud or self-hosted deployment gives teams a defined set of connected-device operations across mobile and web access.

Cumulocity IoT connects and manages equipment, turns device data into context, and supports application building and operational decisions. Devices can connect through HTTP REST, MQTT, native LWM2M, LoRa Network Server integration, or certified gateways. Management tools cover onboarding, configuration, connectivity monitoring, remote troubleshooting, replacement, and over-the-air software and firmware updates. The platform normalizes device data and provides real-time analytics and dashboards; optional DataHub supports SQL queries through standard ODBC/JDBC interfaces. Deployment options include cloud SaaS and on-premises Cumulocity Edge, including air-gapped operation. Security controls include X.509 authentication, device-initiated connections, secure remote access, and fine-grained permissions; multi-tenancy and role-based access control manage separation and access. Starter costs €215 a month, billed annually, and includes 2.5M messages monthly, one tenant, 30-day data retention, and a 95% uptime guarantee. A 30-day trial supports up to 10 devices.
