TagoIO vs Ubidots

TagoIO is a full-stack IoT cloud platform for connecting devices, storing and analyzing data, building dashboards, managing users, and deploying IoT applications. It supports more than 500 device types through Networks and Connectors. Network integrations receive device data, Connectors decode manufacturer payloads into standard variables, and device buckets store the results in time-series storage. Devices can also connect directly to the API over HTTPS or MQTT. Supported methods include LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, CAT-1, CAT-M, Sigfox, BLE, WiFi, HTTP, and satellite networks. Prepared integrations include services such as Helium, AWS IoT Core, Particle, and Generic HTTPS Endpoint; users can also create a custom Network Integration. TagoRUN offers a branded customer portal with a custom domain, authentication, permissions, and feature controls, and the mobile app is listed for Apple App Store and Google Play. The free plan includes 5 devices and 5 dashboards without a credit card. Paid plans start at $49/mo. TagoIO states that it is ISO 27001 certified, encrypts data in transit using TLS 1.2 or higher and at rest using AES-256, and commits to 99.9% monthly uptime for eligible accounts.

Ubidots provides tools to ingest, compute, visualize and act on IoT data in full-stack applications. Devices and machines can send data over MQTT or HTTP, and dashboards use widgets to display device data. Synthetic variables perform statistical and arithmetic operations on raw data over a time frame. Events can react to variable conditions, device inactivity or schedules and trigger email, SMS, voice calls, Slack messages or webhooks.

Plugins support AWS IoT, OpenWeather and LoRaWAN, as well as custom cron, webhook and widget plugins. Android and iOS apps show devices, historical variable data, web dashboards, event logs and push notifications, but cannot create or edit dashboards. The standard app is for account owners and admins; end users require an on-demand white-labeled app. The free STEM plan is for non-commercial projects and includes three devices. Professional costs $99 a month; a typical core-platform account begins with a free 30-day trial. Each device includes up to 20 variables for billing; additional variables may be billed as additional devices.
