The subscription math.
4 months of Fleetio costs what Fleetora costs once.
The fine print
How their pricing grows. Fleetio's displayed price is a band rather than a bill - what you actually pay depends on the plan, the size of the fleet, the contract term and the payment term, and the advertised per-vehicle rates assume a five-asset annual band.
“Fleetio subscriptions are priced based on plan, fleet size range, contract term, and payment term.” Read 2026-08-22.
Who should stay with Fleetio. If you need work orders, parts inventory, a telematics feed, or native apps that keep working out of signal, stay with Fleetio - Fleetora has no work orders and no parts inventory, and its phone install is a web app whose pages are network-only, so it is useless without a connection.
How we counted. Per vehicle, per month. The $20/mo figure is 5 vehicles x $4 on Essential annual - the configuration Fleetio's own footnote says its displayed prices assume ('a fleet with 5 assets subscribing to an Essential 5, Professional 5, or Premium 5 annual plan band'). A 25-vehicle fleet multiplies out to $100/mo, but Fleetio warns that is a band, not a quote. Its footnote says the shown prices assume a 5-asset annual band. Re-read 2026-09-26: unchanged. Fleetora is bought once, for any fleet size.
7 months of Simply Fleet costs what Fleetora costs once.
The fine print
How their pricing grows. Simply Fleet meters strictly per vehicle with no tier jumps or per-module fees, which makes the bill predictable and also makes it linear - it grows with every vehicle added and never stops.
“No tier jumps, no per-module fees, no annual contracts required.” Read 2026-08-22.
Who should stay with Simply Fleet. If you need work orders, parts inventory or a telematics feed, stay with Simply Fleet — Fleetora has none of those, and no fuel log; services and odometer readings are entered by hand.
How we counted. Per vehicle, per month, and the $10 figure is Simply Fleet's own rendering for a 5-vehicle fleet. Simply Fleet also lists a free plan for up to 5 vehicles (read 2026-09-24): below that size the free plan is the cheaper answer, and the case for Fleetora is ownership and data control. The same rate multiplies out to $50/mo at 25 vehicles; annual billing is $20 per vehicle per year, about $1.67 a month.
3 months of Azuga costs what Fleetora costs once.
The fine print
How their pricing grows. Azuga meters PER VEHICLE PER MONTH, on every plan, with the safety camera billed per month on top.
“$25 Per Vehicle Per Month” Read 2026-08-30.
Who should stay with Azuga. Stay with Azuga if you need live GPS location, driver behavior scoring or dash cams — that is telematics, and Fleetora does none of it. Fleetora is the register: which document expires when, which service is due, which defect is open.
How we counted. The entry plan per vehicle per month; a ten-vehicle fleet pays ten times this every month, and the dash cam is another line on top. Re-read 2026-09-26: the three plan prices are unchanged; the AI SafetyCam now starts at $49.99 a month (it read $41.99 on 2026-09-03). Fleetora is one payment for the whole register, however many vehicles are on it.
Work out your own numbers.
The rented figures use the cited plan price above; per-seat plans scale by the seat count from that same cited price. This is arithmetic, not a quote.
Also in this category.

“Pricing may vary depending on your fleet size, operations and your reporting needs”
Why owning beats renting here.
No per-month, per-seat or per-location fees: the license does not expire.
Your data sits on a server you choose; customer records are not held in a vendor's cloud unless you put them there.
Records, users and usage are limited by your hosting, not by a pricing tier.
It keeps working if the vendor doesn't: no one can switch your copy off, and keeping it up to date is in your hands.
The fair trade-offs: you host it, you back it up, and updates are yours to apply. The product page lists what Fleetora deliberately doesn't do.
