The self-hosted Samsara alternative

Fleetora: Self-hosted expiry and service-due reminders for small fleets: every document and every service in one ranked list, each compared against its own window in its own units — days or distance. Own it once, run it on your own server, and stop paying Samsara every month.

Own Fleetora for $69 Try the live demo

Stop renting Samsara.

Samsara No public price - quote-gated (verified) Fleetora is $69 once, runs on your own server, and never invoices you again.

How Samsara pricing grows

Samsara publishes no price for any plan; the pricing page asks how large the fleet is and routes the answer to a quote.

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.

What Fleetora deliberately doesn't do is on its 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 by a pricing tier.

It keeps working if the vendor doesn't

Self-hosted software can't be sunset or repriced out from under you.

The fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up and apply updates yourself. See the product page for its limits, and the full Fleetora vs renting comparison.

Questions about moving off Samsara.

Does it read a tracker or an OBD dongle?
No. Fleetora reads no telematics device and has no GPS: readings arrive as your tracker's CSV export or through the API. It is a register: it knows what you have told it, and nothing else.
How does it decide whether a service is due by date or by mileage?
It compares each leg against its own warning window, in its own units. It never converts miles into days, because that needs an assumed usage rate. When both legs are inside their windows it says both, rather than ranking two quantities that are not comparable.
What happens to a mileage-based service with no odometer reading?
It reads unknown, sorted after everything actionable but before everything healthy, and it is excluded from the calendar feed. A wrong date in a calendar is worse than a missing entry, because the wrong date gets trusted.
Does it cover my country inspection regime?
It ships a neutral starter set of document types and a screen where you name your own. It is not legal or compliance advice, and the intervals you set are yours to decide with whoever advises you.
