Ubidots keeps data longer and reaches a phone in more ways. Logable costs less at the entry plan, and tells the next person when the first one does not answer.
Both products take readings, draw them and alert on them. The split is the size of the fleet and the way the alert has to arrive.
Professional includes 10 SMS or voice alerts a month. Logable does not send SMS, so it needs a data connection.
Six months on Professional and 24 months on Industrial, against 60 days of raw readings on Logable.
Starter is USD 25 for 8 devices and Growth USD 49 for 25, with 6 members across four roles.

Five reasons to buy Ubidots instead. Every one of them is in the table above.
Five reasons to buy Logable instead, each one checked in the product.
Six people on the plan, not one admin and five viewers.
Growth includes six members across four roles. Each one opens a dashboard, sets a rule and acknowledges an alert, as far as the role allows.
Moving over starts a new history for every device. A device is pointed at the Logable MQTT or HTTPS endpoint with a new token, and the history begins from that moment. Dashboards are rebuilt from the templates and the rules from the presets. One gap remains: Logable does not send SMS, so an alarm that must reach a phone off the data network needs a different answer.

The push names the motor and the temperature, and the alert is critical, so quiet hours never hold it. If nobody acknowledges, the next name on the list is told.
Alerts reach email, push notifications on the mobile app, the in-app inbox and outgoing webhooks. There is no SMS channel and no voice call. If an alarm has to reach a phone with no data connection, Ubidots includes ten SMS or voice alerts a month on Professional and Logable is the wrong choice.
Raw readings are kept for 60 days. Hourly and daily summaries are kept after that, so a chart over a year still draws and a report over a quarter still runs. Ubidots keeps raw data for six months on Professional and 24 months on Industrial.
Starter includes 3 members, Growth includes 6 and Business includes 80, across four roles: viewer, member, admin and owner. Ubidots Professional allows 1 admin user and up to 5 end users.
Logable documents the way readings come in, over MQTT and HTTPS, and the way events go out, over webhooks. There is no documented read API for building your own application on top. Ubidots documents REST, MQTT, CoAP and TCP or UDP for exactly that.
