Y Combinator-backed multi-sensor IIoT platform with no-code dashboards, open APIs, and Fortune 500 deployments
Weighted average across 16 categories
IoTFlows is a Y Combinator-backed IIoT platform founded in 2020 and headquartered in Atlanta. The flagship SenseAi product combines multi-modal sensing — vibration, acoustic, LIDAR, and temperature — with a no-code drag-and-drop console for building custom dashboards, alerts, and visualizations. The platform reports 100+ industrial customers, including Delta Air Lines, U.S. Navy, Siemens, Stanley Black & Decker, Tesla, and Parker Hannifin.
The commercial model is unusually flexible for a multi-sensor IIoT platform. Monthly, annual, and three-year billing options are available; user accounts are unlimited on every tier; and the Enterprise plan offers a 99.99% SLA with SSO/SAML and 24/7 support. The developer story is strong — REST API on all plans, Webhooks and MQTT on Pro and above, with public documentation at docs.iotflows.com.
Hardware is bundled with the subscription rather than purchased outright, which limits CAPEX treatment. Pricing transparency is partial: an ~$4,812/year Essential entry point is visible through third-party listings, but Pro and Enterprise tiers require a custom quote. PLC integration depth and edge/cloud architecture are not explicitly documented in public materials.
Platform fit rated by sector and use case.
Multi-sensor SenseAi hardware plus a no-code console covers OEE, condition monitoring, and asset health in one platform — a rare single-vendor combination.
REST, Webhooks, and MQTT with public developer documentation support custom integrations into ERP, MES, and BI systems.
Vibration, acoustic, LIDAR, and temperature sensing retrofit onto legacy machines without requiring native PLC protocols.
Hardware is bundled with the subscription; no separate purchase or depreciation option is published.
