Datalastic Anmeldelser 

I am the Lead Developer and Founder of "OrSoft Mariner PRO", a maritime navigation application currently live on the Google Play Store. On September 10, 2026, I purchased the 14-day trial of the "Starter" subscription for 9 Euros. The API signal was activated immediately, and everything seemed fine.

However, the very next day, my API access was abruptly cut off. All my server queries started returning a "402 PaymentRequired" error. The strange part? The funds were successfully deducted from my credit card and clearly appear on my September 11 bank statement as "DATALASTIC/PRAHA 8". They took the money but shut down the service.

I have sent multiple warning emails over the past 5 days with concrete screenshots of my bank statement and backend server logs. The result? Absolute silence. No replies, no fixes, nothing.

I have now lost 5 days of my 14-day trial, and my trust in this company is completely shattered. The irony is that if Datalastic had provided a reliable service and decent support, I was planning to upgrade my account to the "Developer Pro" subscription very soon to power my live application.

Instead, I am now forced to initiate a chargeback with my bank for non-delivery of services, and I will have to migrate my infrastructure to a more reliable data provider. If you are building a serious application that requires high availability, do not risk your business with their lack of support.

***** Update: After 5 days of silence and writing this review, support finally replied. It turns out they use a predatory pricing model: they charge API credits per vessel returned, not per request. A single radius query drained 500 credits instantly. Combined with a lazy and misleading "402 Payment Required" error instead of a standard "429 Quota Exhausted", it is a terrible developer experience. I am migrating to a competent provider.

Data quality is good.
Suppot is good.

I like the data. In the end it was not what I was looking for because I needed something very specific but they have a lot of ship related data and I think it covers the case for most normal users

The subscription is easy to setup. I didn’t had any issues with that. Also the data that we got matched what we are looking for. We wanted to track vessels in real time once a day and get coordinates of its movement and that was helpful.

Just have bought this package. The first - the information I need is not in their databases. The second - if you wish to know how was used computers in seventies or eighties - welcome. No interfase, nothing. Completely rubbish. If you would like to waist your time and money - this is exactly what you need)
