Ubidots not only provides a robust ingestion back end, easy-to-use monitoring tools, and thorough user-management capabilities, but also white labeling capabilities that allow you to brand the end-user Application with your company’s look and feel.
An Ubidots-powered application login screen and App can look like this:
Requirements
Ubidots trial or licensed account.
1. White and Gray Label Branding
Ubidots powered applications come in 2 flavors: White label and gray label. While the first option allows complete branding, that is, look and feel customization, proprietary domain and email sender address, the second allows only for look and feel changes, and it preserves Ubidots subdomain with the structure {APP_NAME}.iot.ubidots.com as well as the default email sender notifications@ubidots.com.
Industrial and Enterprise licenses include 1 application with full white-label capabilities and Professional includes 1 gray label application. Also, users can create additional applications (for more information about additional apps and when you might need one, see section 5 of this article) and choose whether or not they’re white or gray-labeled. The price for additional apps is as follows:
Additional white-labeled app: $149/mo
Additional gray-labeled app: $49/mo
App Builder: $349/app/mo
