What Samsara does that we don't
Samsara is a telematics platform - live GPS, routing, fuel and compliance streamed from devices fitted in the vehicles.

Who should stay with Samsara
If you need live GPS tracking, AI dash cams or ELD hours-of-service compliance, stay with Samsara - Fleetora has no telematics, no devices and no GPS. It is a register you type into, not a tracker. Full honest limitations are on the product page.
Why owning beats renting Samsara
- One payment. No monthly, per-seat, or per-location fees — the license is perpetual.
- Your data stays on your server. It never lives in Samsara's cloud.
- No plan ceilings. Records and users are limited by your hosting, not a pricing tier.
- It keeps working if the vendor doesn't. Self-hosted software can't be sunset or price-hiked out from under you.
Fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up, and apply updates yourself — see the product page for honest limitations, and the full Fleetora — Self-Hosted Vehicle & Fleet Register: Expiries, Servicing, Defects vs Samsara comparison.
