Why teams pick Datacake

Free LoRaWAN Network Server included

Every Datacake plan ships with a managed LNS at $0, no per-gateway fees, no separate subscription. Comparing against an IoT platform without a bundled LNS? You save the upstream connectivity bill, too.

Dashboards, rules and exports on one account

Visualisation, alerting, scheduled reports and white-label live in the same product as the connectivity layer. No second tool to license, integrate or operate.

400+ device templates plus open API ingestion

Apply a template and the payload decoder, dashboard and downlink hooks are configured for you. Beyond LoRaWAN, MQTT and HTTPS endpoints accept any device or upstream platform.

Lossless device and data migration

Bring LoRaWAN devices over without re-flashing firmware, or re-wire MQTT and webhook integrations from your current platform. Run old and new in parallel during cut-over.
