Pros & Cons
Equator
Pros
- A built-in library of public LiDAR, DEM and contour data for the US and Canada saves engineers from hunting across government data portals.
- Contours export directly as DWG, DXF or GeoJSON formatted for Civil 3D and AutoCAD.
- Entry pricing is low: 67 USD a month, or 30 USD for a single site with no subscription.
- Runs in the browser, and a free trial lets users build a site with contours, point clouds or DEMs before paying.
Cons
- Plans are capped by sites per month, and the top public plan allows only five users.
- Accuracy depends on the public LiDAR available for an area, which can range from about 5 to 30 cm vertically.
- Very few independent reviews or user discussions exist to confirm the vendor's claims.
- Small company, reported at about seven staff, and the vendor publishes no security or compliance documentation that we could find.
Inspectivity
Pros
- The no-code form builder lets teams build their own inspection templates with measurements, text fields and photos, with no developer needed.
- The mobile app works offline, which suits remote mine and energy sites.
- The company holds ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certifications, and Enterprise offers single-tenant hosting.
- A 14-day free trial needs no credit card, and Essentials starts at AUD 75 per month.
Cons
- API, SSO and BI integration are only available on the Enterprise plan.
- Essentials is tightly capped at one project, 1,000 items and three templates.
- There are few independent reviews to judge it by.
- It is not a full CMMS, and spare parts and maintenance scheduling are not clearly offered.
