The short version

  • Only Atlas.co has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Atlas.co analytical depth is a long way short of a mature GIS: there is no serious raster analysis, network analysis, topology editing or geodetic control, so complex work still goes back to QGIS or ArcGIS.; Fleet Complete because most contracts are sold through a carrier, the commercial relationship, the service levels and the renewal date belong to the carrier, so a pricing dispute or a support escalation goes through a reseller who did not build the software.
  • They diverge on capability: Atlas.co covers Browser GIS, Fleet Complete covers Vehicle tracking.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Fleet Complete

  • Mixed fleets that need to track unpowered assets such as trailers and generators alongside vehicles in one consolenot Atlas.co

  • Service businesses that want basic dispatch and vehicle tracking without buying a separate field service platformnot Atlas.co

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Atlas.co

  • Analytical depth is a long way short of a mature GIS: there is no serious raster analysis, network analysis, topology editing or geodetic control, so complex work still goes back to QGIS or ArcGIS.
  • Geocoding and workflow runs are metered per tier, and a single large address batch can exhaust a month’s Pro allowance in one afternoon, forcing an upgrade for a one-off job.
  • The company is at pre-seed stage with roughly $2m raised and a small team, so buyers embedding it in a business process carry meaningful continuity risk.
  • Annual billing is required to get the advertised prices, which removes the flexibility that would otherwise make a young vendor a low-risk trial.
  • There is no offline or field capability at all, so any organisation whose spatial work includes data collection needs a second tool alongside it.

Fleet Complete

  • Because most contracts are sold through a carrier, the commercial relationship, the service levels and the renewal date belong to the carrier, so a pricing dispute or a support escalation goes through a reseller who did not build the software.
  • Hardware is bundled into the subscription over a multi-year term, so a fleet that shrinks mid-contract keeps paying for units that are sitting in a store cupboard unless it negotiated a downsizing clause up front.
  • The product line was assembled by acquisition, so hours of service, European tracking and the core platform originated as separate products, leaving overlapping apps, duplicate logins and features that exist in one region but not another.
  • The third-party integration ecosystem is far smaller than the marketplaces run by Geotab or Samsara, so bespoke connections to a maintenance or payroll system usually mean building against the API yourself.
  • The web console and reporting look and behave like software designed a decade ago, and administrators who have used a newer platform will find the reporting builder slow and the exports rigid.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Atlas.co: How much does Atlas.co cost?

Starter is free, Pro is $23 per user per month and Team is $72 per editor per month with viewers at $7, all billed annually. Enterprise is quoted.

Fleet Complete: Do I buy Fleet Complete directly or through my mobile operator?

Both are possible, but the majority of North American customers buy through AT&T or Telus. Check which entity the contract is with, because it determines your support path, your billing cycle and your renewal date.

Atlas.co: Can it replace ArcGIS or QGIS?

For visualisation, light analysis and sharing, often yes. For raster, network or geodetic work, no.

Fleet Complete: What happens to the hardware if I cancel?

Devices supplied as part of a subsidised subscription are normally recovered or charged for on early termination. Ask for the exact clause before signing, because it is where the real cost of leaving sits.

Atlas.co: What is the viewer seat?

A read-only seat at $7 per month on the Team plan, intended for stakeholders who consume maps rather than build them.

Fleet Complete: Is it a fit for a fleet of five vans?

It will work, but small fleets get a better deal from vendors that publish pricing and sell month to month. Fleet Complete pricing improves with volume and a carrier relationship.

Atlas.co: Where is the company based?

Oslo, Norway. It was founded in 2021 and has raised around $2m in pre-seed funding.

Atlas.co: Is there a free tier?

Yes, Starter gives three projects, three editors and 1 GB of storage with metered geocoding and workflow runs.
