The tools in detail
Fleet Telematics
Our productUAE fleets that want live GPS tracking and fuel control on the trackers they already use
Starting price: Quote onlyFree plan: no free planFleet Telematics puts live tracking, trip replay, geofences, speeding records, driver records and shareable links on one screen, and follows diesel from the tanker to the truck by checking the tank, the pump and the vehicle's own tracker against each other. It works with Teltonika, Queclink, Galileosky, JT808 and Wialon IPS trackers. There is no public price list: a live demo is the way in.
Samsara
Fleets that want one vendor for hardware, software and support and are comfortable with a multi-year contract
Starting price: Quote onlyfree plan: see the vendor's pageSamsara publishes no per-vehicle price: its pricing page asks for your fleet size, and its FAQs say pricing depends on fleet size, features, contract length and how hardware is bundled. For small fleets it describes a three-year licence that includes the hardware, cloud software, cellular data and support.
Geotab
Fleets that want a large global telematics platform and a quote sized to their own fleet
Starting price: Quote onlyfree plan: see the vendor's pageGeotab publishes no list price, and its own small-fleet guide describes pricing as quote-based, so you need a quote for your fleet size and the features you want.

Starting price: Quote onlyfree plan: see the vendor's pageMotive lists no per-vehicle price in its public pages and points buyers to sales for a quote for their fleet.
Wialon
Fleets that want an established tracking platform and are happy to buy a subscription priced by connected vehicles
Starting price: Quote onlyfree plan: see the vendor's pageWialon's pricing page says the price depends on the product, the pricing model, the number of connected vehicles and add-on services, and it shows no figure. It is a monthly subscription on the average number of connected vehicles, with updates, storage and 24/7 support included. Wialon Lite is a lighter product that it markets as the cheaper option.

Executive Switching Summary
Why teams switch from Samsara to Fleet Telematics
Fleets usually look elsewhere when they would rather keep the GPS trackers they already own, avoid a multi-year contract, or see a price before talking to sales. Samsara quotes by fleet size, features and contract length, and its own FAQs describe agreements of three to five years.
Keep the Trackers You Already Own
Fleet Telematics works with Teltonika, Queclink, Galileosky, JT808 devices and any Wialon IPS tracker, so there is no hardware to replace.
Every Litre Accounted For
The tank, the pump and each truck's own tracker check each other, and the daily fuel check shows any gap the same day.
Built for UAE Fleets
UAE number plates, Dubai time for daily reports and place names on the map instead of coordinates.
