Bevywise IoT Platform vs Datacake

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.

Datacake is an IoT platform that turns sensor data into live dashboards, alerts, and reports. Its monitoring use cases include cold chains, temperature and humidity, indoor air quality, soil moisture, and industrial noise. Users can build real-time dashboards without coding and set thresholds and rules that send alerts by email, SMS, or webhook. Datacake lists more than 400 LoRaWAN device templates across over 125 manufacturers, with payload decoders and dashboards. Every plan includes its managed LoRaWAN Network Server, with unlimited gateways and no per-gateway fees. Data can be streamed to other systems through MQTT, HTTPS webhooks, and a REST API. Native iOS and Android apps support dashboards, device onboarding, alert creation, and push notifications. Its OpenAI-powered assistant can analyze sensor data and help create dashboards, rules, and decoders; changes require confirmation. White-label branding and multi-tenancy are offered for system integrators, distributors, and OEMs. The free plan supports five devices. Hobby costs €25 a month and covers up to 25 devices, with one year of retention.
