Transparency alternatives to Things Mobile
Other IoT platforms and connectivity vendors we measure, sorted by how much we found at them and not at Things Mobile. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 41 that differ from Things Mobile on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
Things Mobile has 10 gaps in what we could measure: Data processing agreement, Subprocessor list, Data location stated, Status page with history, Public pricing, Certifications named, Uptime SLA with a figure, No third-party tracking before consent, security.txt (RFC 9116), Notice before subprocessors change. The column “Found there, not found at Things Mobile” is the one that closes them.
