Side-by-side comparison of Radar Team ($499/mo) vs Fencemaker Advanced ($79/mo)
Radar optimizes for enterprise sales. We optimize for developer experience.
Radar requires iOS and Android SDKs that add megabytes to your app bundle and introduce platform-specific bugs. Fencemaker is a pure REST API — works from any backend language.
Monthly Tracked Users (MTU) is a billing black box. Hard to forecast, impossible to budget. Fencemaker charges per API call only — simple, predictable, transparent.
Radar's minimum paid plan is $499/month. That's aggressive for a startup still validating product-market fit. Fencemaker starts at $29/month — room to grow.
Radar caps geofences at 10,000 on the $499/month plan. Need more? Talk to sales. Fencemaker gives you unlimited geofences on every tier, including free.
Radar treats geofences as a flat list. Fencemaker has native territory hierarchies — tag fences by region, city, or district and query hierarchically.
Radar assumes you're tracking mobile users. Fencemaker is designed for server-side geofencing — check delivery zones, assign territories, route orders.
Real-world geofencing without the enterprise price tag
Check if customer addresses fall within delivery zones. Trigger entry/exit webhooks when drivers cross zone boundaries.
Apply surge pricing, delivery fees, or service charges based on which geofence contains the pickup or dropoff location.
Route incoming orders to the correct warehouse, agent, or fulfillment center based on address-to-territory lookup.
Fire webhooks when vehicles enter restricted zones, idle in delivery areas, or deviate from planned routes.
Draw buffer zones around planned routes. Alert when drivers stray beyond the corridor — built for fleet monitoring.
Detect when devices remain inside a geofence for longer than expected. Trigger alerts or automation workflows.
Radar requires SDK initialization and MTU tracking. Fencemaker is a single REST call.
Fencemaker's Advanced plan is $79/month vs Radar's Team plan at $499/month — that's 84% cheaper for comparable features. Our Standard plan starts at just $29/month. For a typical use case requiring 50K daily geofence checks and unlimited zones, you'll save $5,040 per year.
No. Fencemaker is a pure REST API. You send latitude/longitude coordinates via HTTP POST and receive fence status in the response. It works from any backend — Node.js, Python, PHP, Go, Ruby, Java — without mobile SDK dependencies. This makes it ideal for server-side geofencing use cases like delivery zone checks, territory assignment, and logistics workflows.
No. Fencemaker charges per API call only. There are no Monthly Tracked User restrictions at any tier. You pay for requests, not for the number of users you track. This makes billing predictable — if you make 10,000 requests, you pay for 10,000 requests. No black-box MTU calculations.
Yes. Most teams complete migration in under 2 hours. Export geofences from Radar via CSV or API, batch-import them to Fencemaker, then replace Radar API calls with Fencemaker REST endpoints in your backend. If you're using Radar's mobile SDK for client-side tracking, you can shift to server-side checks by having your backend call Fencemaker when location updates arrive. No mobile app rewrite required.
No catch. Fencemaker focuses exclusively on geofencing — we don't offer maps, routing, trip tracking, or consumer location services. This specialization lets us deliver enterprise geofencing capabilities at startup-friendly prices. All pricing is transparent and posted on our website. No sales calls required.
Yes. Fencemaker supports polygon and circle geofences via GeoJSON, entry/exit webhooks with configurable retry logic, device tracking, metadata tagging, and batch operations. We also offer territory management — a hierarchical geofence system for address-to-agent lookup — which Radar does not provide. See our API documentation for full feature details.
