TagoIO

TagoIO is a full-stack IoT cloud platform for connecting devices, storing and analyzing data, creating dashboards, managing users, and deploying IoT applications. Networks and Connectors support more than 500 device types. Networks receive data over methods including LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, CAT-1, CAT-M, Sigfox, BLE, WiFi, MQTT, HTTP, and satellite networks; Connectors decode manufacturer payloads into standard variables, which device buckets store in time-series form. Devices may also connect directly through HTTPS or MQTT. Prepared integrations include Sigfox, MQTT, LoRaWAN providers, Helium, Myriota, AWS IoT Core, Kinéis, Particle, and Generic HTTPS Endpoint, and users can create a custom Network Integration. TagoRUN supports a branded customer portal with custom domain, branding, feature controls, authentication, and permissions. Mobile apps are available through Apple App Store and Google Play, and companies can launch custom-branded apps. TagoIO states that it is ISO 27001 certified and uses TLS 1.2 or higher in transit and AES-256 at rest. Its free plan covers five devices and five dashboards; Starter costs $49 a month.

TagoIO combines device ingestion, data handling, dashboards, and application deployment in one IoT platform. The free tier is limited to five devices and dashboards, while paid plans add higher capacities and controls.

TagoIO suits organizations building IoT applications that need device connectivity, data storage, dashboards, and user management. It also fits teams seeking a branded customer portal or prepared and custom network integrations.

TagoIO is a cloud platform for connecting IoT devices, processing their data, and building dashboards and applications around it. It suits teams that need device connectivity alongside customer-facing portals, rather than a dashboard tool alone. Its broad integration and deployment options are balanced by a free tier capped at five devices and dashboards.

Overview

TagoIO brings device ingestion, time-series storage, data analysis, dashboards, user management, and application deployment into one platform. It supports more than 500 device types, with Networks and Connectors handling the route from incoming payload to stored variables. Devices can also connect directly to its API over HTTPS or MQTT.

That breadth is useful when a project spans multiple hardware makers or needs a branded customer experience. Network usage itself is free, but received data incurs Data Input operation costs, so network connectivity should not be mistaken for unlimited data processing.

Key features

Device data and integrations

Prepared Networks cover options such as Sigfox, MQTT, LoRaWAN providers, Helium, Myriota, AWS IoT Core, Kinéis, Particle, and a Generic HTTPS Endpoint. Connectors decode manufacturer payloads into standard variables, which device buckets store as time-series data. Teams can also build a custom Network Integration to route data to the right device using its serial number and a custom protocol. This combination accommodates varied hardware, though the plan’s device and data-operation limits still matter as deployments grow.

Portals and security

TagoRUN supports branded customer portals with custom domains, feature controls, authentication, and permissions. Its mobile app is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play, and companies can launch a custom-branded app. TagoIO is ISO 27001 certified and says its data-processing policies align with GDPR requirements. It states that it encrypts data in transit with TLS 1.2 or higher and at rest with AES-256 on AWS infrastructure.

Eligible accounts have a published 99.9% monthly uptime commitment. US customers use AWS us-east-1 by default, EU customers can choose eu-west-1, and TagoDeploy supports more than 12 AWS regions. These controls make the platform relevant to organizations with operational and regional requirements, while eligibility for the uptime commitment is limited to qualifying accounts.

Pricing

The free plan costs nothing and includes five devices and five dashboards, with no credit card required. It is a sensible starting point for a small proof of concept, but the five-device ceiling rules it out for a larger deployment.

Starter costs $49 a month, billed $49 /mo. It includes two profiles, 100 devices per profile, 100 dashboards per profile, 1 Million Inputs / 3 Million Outputs, low request rate limits, and 50 TagoAI prompts/mo. It is the entry paid option for a modest deployment, but low request rates and the stated input/output quota are meaningful constraints for workloads with heavier traffic.

Scale costs $199 a month, billed $199 /mo. It raises capacity to five profiles and up to 10,000 devices, with medium request rate limits, a complete audit log, SSO with SAML, and 150 TagoAI prompts/mo. The higher price is most defensible for teams that need substantially more device capacity or enterprise access controls.

TagoDeploy costs $850 a month, billed $850 /mo. It provides a dedicated enterprise instance, more than 12 regions, capacity for 1 million devices and more, customizable request rates, custom API URLs, RPM and MQTT broker, and automatic backups. It targets large deployments that need dedicated infrastructure and configurable rates; it is far beyond the needs of a small pilot.

Across the paid plans, the published Data Input cost basis matters because network usage is free but received-data costs accrue through Data Input operations. Starter and Scale also specify TagoAI prompt allowances; the Free plan’s feature list does not include a prompt quota.

Platforms

TagoIO supports Android, iOS, web, and API access. Its deployment options also include the TagoRUN mobile app and custom-branded mobile apps for companies.

Who it's for

TagoIO is a strong fit for businesses connecting diverse devices and building their own operational or customer-facing IoT applications. Its support for agriculture, buildings, energy, industrial, and logistics use cases, alongside customers in more than 130 countries, reflects that broad remit. A team needing only a small device fleet can start free; a team with growth, security, or dedicated-instance requirements can move up the tiers. It is less compelling for a project that must remain within five devices or cannot accommodate paid-plan data and request limits.

Pros and cons

• Pro: More than 500 device types, prepared integrations, direct HTTPS or MQTT access, and custom Network Integrations give teams several routes to bring hardware online.
• Pro: TagoRUN combines custom domains, branding, access controls, and mobile app options for companies delivering an IoT service to customers.
• Pro: Scale adds SAML SSO and a complete audit log, while TagoDeploy offers a dedicated instance, regional choice, automatic backups, and customizable request rates.
• Con: The free plan stops at five devices and five dashboards, so it is only a narrow starting point for growing deployments.
• Con: Starter has low request rate limits, while received-data costs are tied to Data Input operations; teams should account for both when sizing a workload.
• Con: The jump from $49 a month for Starter to $199 a month for Scale may be hard to justify if a team does not need the added capacity, audit log, or SSO.

Alternatives

Compare IoT Analytics Software for a broader category view.

• ThingsBoard is another freemium option, with a free plan for five devices, five assets, and 1M data points/mo; consider it when that free-plan mix is a better match.
• Datacake offers a free five-device plan and a Hobby plan at €25 a month for up to 25 devices and one year of data retention; it may suit a smaller fleet seeking a lower paid entry point.
• Thinger.io is another freemium IoT platform with cloud plans described at 100 or 1,000 devices; consider it if those capacity tiers fit your needs.
• Ubidots has a free STEM plan for three devices on non-commercial projects; choose it when a non-commercial three-device project fits better.
• OpenRemote is a free, self-hostable IoT platform for teams that prioritize self-hosting.
• Honeywell Forge is a paid suite with product-specific offerings for teams evaluating that product family.
• Zoho IoT is another freemium option, with a Standard plan described for 100 devices/assets and 12 months of data retention; consider it when those limits align with the project.
• AVEVA Insight is another paid option.

Verdict

Choose TagoIO if your IoT project needs broad device ingestion plus the tools to turn incoming data into dashboards, applications, and a branded customer portal. Its main advantage is the combination of integration flexibility and deployment controls across plans. Look elsewhere if five devices are enough and a paid upgrade is not justified, or if the Starter request limits and Data Input costs do not suit the workload.
