Sandhed Track vs Kontakt.io
Sandhed Track costs $1.10-$3.49 per tag per month, compared to $5-15 at Kontakt.io. Both use BLE for indoor asset tracking with similar zone-level accuracy. Sandhed Track offers four cadence tiers and per-tag cadence selection. Kontakt.io offers one. Sandhed Track self-installs in 30 minutes. Kontakt.io typically requires professional deployment.

| Funktion | Sandhed Track | Kontakt.io |
|---|---|---|
| Månedlig pris per tag | $1.10-$3.49/tag/måned på tværs af fire cadence-niveauer. Mængderabat fra 100+ tags. | $5-15/tag/måned med ét prisniveau. Enterprise-priser tilgængelige på forespørgsel. |
| Tag-hardware pris | $19 for standard tags. Varianter med temperatur ($27), stød ($24) eller knap ($23). | $25-40 per tag afhængig af model. Temperatur- og knap-varianter tilgængelige. |
| Cadence-muligheder | Fire niveauer: Real-time (1s), Standard (3s), Economy (5s), Slow (10s). Vælges per tag. | Ét fast opdateringsinterval. Ingen per-tag cadence-valg. |
| Installation | Selvinstallation på 30 minutter. Montér anchors, tænd, scan tags. | Kræver typisk 1-2 timers professionel assistance til anchor-kalibrering. |
| Offline-robusthed | 24-timers lokal buffer på hver anchor via TF-kort. Automatisk data-replay ved genforbindelse. | Begrænset offline-buffering. Datahuller mulige under netværksudfald. |
| UWB-opgraderingssti | Tilføj UWB-anchors (Quuppa, Ubisense) til specifikke zoner på samme platform. | Ingen UWB-support. Skift til UWB kræver en anden leverandør og platform. |
| Digital twin-integration | Native. Positioner vises direkte på 3D-plantegninger med alarmer, analyser og historik. | Separat platform. Kræver API-integration til visning i tredjepartsværktøjer. |
The Price Gap Is Real
At 500 tags on a Standard cadence, Sandhed Track costs $745/month after volume discount. The same 500 tags at Kontakt.io would run $2,500-$7,500/month. That is a 70-90% cost difference.
The pricing difference comes from two structural choices. Sandhed Track uses cadence tiers that let you pay less for assets that do not need frequent updates. A pallet sitting in storage for days does not need 1-second position updates. At $1.10/tag/month on Slow cadence, the cost of tracking low-movement assets drops to a fraction of what fixed-rate systems charge.
Kontakt.io prices all tags the same regardless of how often they actually need updates. If you have 500 pallets and 20 forklifts, you pay the same per-tag rate for both. Sandhed Track lets you put forklifts on Real-time ($3.49) and pallets on Slow ($1.10), cutting your blended cost dramatically.
Volume discounts compound the savings. At 500 tags, Sandhed Track applies a 25% discount across all tiers. Kontakt.io offers enterprise pricing on request, but published rates start at $5/tag/month with limited public discount tiers.
Per-Tag Cadence Selection
No other BLE tracking vendor lets you pick a different update speed for each individual tag. This single feature can cut your monthly bill by 40-60% for mixed deployments with both fast-moving and stationary assets.
Most facilities have a mix of asset types. A typical warehouse might track 20 forklifts, 50 picking carts, and 2,000 pallets. The forklifts need real-time position updates. The picking carts need standard updates. The pallets barely move and need the slowest possible cadence.
With Kontakt.io, you pay the same rate for every tag. With Sandhed Track, you assign each tag the cadence tier that matches its movement pattern. The battery life scales inversely with update frequency, so slow-cadence tags last up to 7 years on a single coin cell.
The per-tag cadence also lets you adjust over time without changing hardware. A tag that starts on Slow cadence for warehouse storage can switch to Real-time when it moves to the shipping dock. The change takes effect immediately in the platform.
Hardware and Installation
Sandhed Track ships a $999 starter kit with 6 anchors and 25 tags. Self-install in 30 minutes with no site survey. Kontakt.io requires professional deployment and does not publish a comparable starter bundle.
The Sandhed Track starter kit covers up to 1,500 m² and arrives ready to deploy. Mount anchors roughly 20 meters apart, plug in USB-C or PoE power, scan tag QR codes, and positions appear on your floor plan within 30 seconds.
Kontakt.io typically involves a sales-led deployment process. Their Cloud Location Engine requires anchor placement planning and calibration. While the hardware is mature, the setup process is more involved and usually includes professional services.
For expansion beyond the starter kit, individual Sandhed Track anchors cost $89 and tags start at $19. Four tag variants cover different use cases: standard position tracking, temperature monitoring for cold chain, shock detection for fragile goods, and panic buttons for worker safety.
When Kontakt.io May Be the Better Choice
If you need a mature ecosystem with established enterprise references, Kontakt.io has been in the market longer. Their partner network and integration library are broader. For organizations where per-tag cost is secondary to ecosystem maturity, Kontakt.io is a defensible choice.
Kontakt.io has a larger installed base and a more established partner network. If your organization requires references from enterprises in your specific industry vertical, Kontakt.io may have more to point to.
Their Cloud Location Engine is a proven product with years of production use. If your primary concern is risk mitigation and you are willing to pay a premium for a track record, that is a reasonable trade-off.
However, for organizations where cost per tag is the primary decision driver, or where the ability to mix cadence tiers would materially reduce operating expenses, Sandhed Track offers concrete savings that compound over time.
