COMPARISON GUIDE
Smartcar is a developer-friendly alternative to vehicle data marketplaces like Otonomo.
If you’re looking to purchase data sets for mapping, traffic management, parking solutions, or media management then Otonomo may be a good fit for you. This type of vehicle data may help you determine where to place a new retail location, which billboard ads to run, or how to route your fleet more efficiently.
