The self-hosted Whip Around alternative
Fleetora — Self-Hosted Vehicle & Fleet Register: Expiries, Servicing, Defects — Self-hosted fleet register: every document expiry and every service due across the fleet in one ranked list, bought once. Own it once, run it on your own server, and stop paying Whip Around every month.
Stop renting Whip Around
3 months of Whip Around equals this one-time price.
Assumption: Per asset, per month; $25/mo shown for 5 vehicles on Standard. Honest math: the free Basic tier is real, but it stops at one vehicle and one user - from the second vehicle the meter starts and never stops.
How Whip Around pricing grows with you
Whip Around meters by asset, and its free tier holds exactly one vehicle and one login, so any fleet worth calling a fleet is on a paid per-asset plan from the first day.

What Whip Around does that we don't

Who should stay with Whip Around
If you need structured inspection forms - custom checklists a driver completes and signs on a schedule - stay with Whip Around; Fleetora has no form builder and no scheduled inspection workflow. It records the faults a driver reports, not the checklist they walked. Full honest limitations are on the product page.
Why owning beats renting Whip Around
- One payment. No monthly, per-seat, or per-location fees — the license is perpetual.
- Your data stays on your server. It never lives in Whip Around'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 Whip Around comparison.
