Why Teams Switch

Radar's enterprise positioning creates friction for growing startups

📊

MTU Complexity

Problem: Monthly Tracked Users (MTU) is a black box. Hard to forecast, harder to budget.

Fencemaker Solution: Straightforward API calls. If you make 10K requests, you pay for 10K requests.

💸

Hidden Enterprise Costs

Problem: Paid plans start at $499/month. No affordable tier between free and enterprise.

Fencemaker Solution: Hobby tier at $29/month. Growth at $79. Scale at $299. Transparent pricing posted on the website.

🔒

Geofence Limits

Problem: 1K geofences on free tier, 10K on $499 plan. Need more? Enterprise sales.

Fencemaker Solution: Unlimited geofences on ALL plans. Create 100 or 100,000 — same price.

🧩

SDK Lock-in

Problem: Heavy SDK dependencies for iOS/Android. More code to maintain.

Fencemaker Solution: Pure REST API. Send lat/lng, get fence status. Works on any platform.

📍

No Territory Model

Problem: Geofences are flat. No built-in hierarchy for regions, districts, or zones.

Fencemaker Solution: Native territory support. Tag fences by region, query hierarchically.

Overkill for Simple Use Cases

Problem: Full location platform when you just need "is this point in my delivery zone?"

Fencemaker Solution: Purpose-built for geofencing. No maps, no routing — just fences, fast.

Migration in 3 Steps

Most teams complete migration in under 2 hours

1

Export Your Geofences

Radar lets you export via CSV or API. Grab your fence coordinates and metadata.

# Via Radar API
GET /v1/geofences
→ Download as CSV
2

Import to Fencemaker

Batch upload your geofences via CSV or API. Polygon format is GeoJSON-compatible.

# Fencemaker bulk import
POST /v1/fences/batch
Content-Type: application/json
3

Update Your Code

Replace Radar SDK calls with Fencemaker REST endpoints. No client library required.

# Single API call
POST /v1/check
{ lat: 12.34, lng: 56.78 }

API Comparison

Simpler code, same functionality

Radar (SDK Required)
// Initialize SDK
Radar.initialize('pub_key');

// Track user location
Radar.trackOnce(
latitude: 40.7128,
longitude: -74.0060,
accuracy: 65
);

// Handle geofence events
Radar.on('events', (result) => {
// Parse MTU tracking response
result.events.forEach(...);
});
Fencemaker (Pure REST)
// Direct API call - no SDK
fetch('https://api.fencemaker.app/v1/check', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'
},
body: JSON.stringify({
latitude: 40.7128,
longitude: -74.0060
})
});

// Response: which fences contain this point
{ fences: ['zone_manhattan', 'delivery_nyc'] }
