FAQ
Pricing questions, answered plainly.
How much does Calibrate Freight cost?
It's free to start and free to track vessels on terrestrial AIS, including the full evidence layer and the watchkeeper agents. The only paid element is satellite AIS fixes for open-ocean coverage gaps, which are metered and billed per fix — there is no subscription, seat fee, or annual commitment.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Create your organization, import shipments, and track them on live terrestrial AIS for free. The read-only live demo needs only your name and a way to reach you, and opens in about 30 seconds — no credit card.
What are satellite top-ups?
Terrestrial AIS covers vessels near shore. When a ship crosses open ocean it can drop out of terrestrial range, so we offer satellite fixes on demand to fill the gap. They're metered per lookup, and every fix an agent buys is written to a receipt showing what it cost — so satellite spend is always visible, never a mystery platform fee.
Do I have to talk to sales to see pricing or start?
No. The pricing model is published on this page and you can start entirely self-serve. Calibrate Freight is built for the importers the enterprise tools won't sell to — there's no gated demo and no quote request.
How does this compare to project44 or FourKites pricing?
project44 and FourKites are enterprise visibility platforms that quote custom, typically annual contracts and don't publish pricing. Calibrate Freight publishes its model, starts free, and meters only satellite usage — a fit for small and mid-size ocean importers rather than Fortune 500 procurement.
