SPOTIO vs Beatplan.app: which one fits your team?
Updated 5 November 2026 · prices checked this month
Short answer: choose SPOTIO if your reps prospect for new customers (door-to-door, cold canvassing, buying lead data). Choose Beatplan.app if your reps visit the same dealers, shops or farmers on a fixed schedule to take orders and collect money, and you would rather buy the system once than pay per rep every month.

Choose SPOTIO if
- Your team sells to new customers every day (solar, roofing, telecom, home services).
- You want map-based lead data and canvassing pin statuses.
- You want zero technical setup and a vendor to call.
Choose Beatplan.app if
- Your reps cover a known network of dealers, retailers or farmers on a repeating beat.
- Collections matter as much as orders: you need cash, cheque and bank payments recorded in the field and validated by Accounts.
- Your reps work in areas with weak signal.
- You have 20 or more reps, so per-user fees add up to tens of thousands a year.
- You want the system, the data and the brand to be yours.
The 20-rep maths
SPOTIO does not publish prices. At a per-user rate of US$40 to US$60 a month, typical for field sales apps, 20 reps cost US$9,600 to US$14,400 a year, every year. Beatplan.app costs US$2,900 once plus your own hosting from about US$25 a month, so it pays for itself in a few months and costs the same at 200 reps.
