AutoiPacket vs Fleetio
The short version
- Only Fleetio has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: AutoiPacket autoiPacket now trades as iPacket (autoipacket.com redirects to ipacket.us, same legal entity AutoiPacket, LLC of Parkersburg, WV, confirmed by the site footer), and publishes no price anywhere on its site: access is sold only through a booked demo, with four separate named products (iPacket Digital Vehicle Presentations, iPacket Recon, iPacket OnTargeting, and OEM Window Stickers) each gated behind a sales call rather than a published rate (archived 19 November 2025); Fleetio priced per vehicle per month, so cost scales with fleet size rather than with the number of people using it
- They diverge on capability: AutoiPacket covers Online showroom, Fleetio covers Vehicle tracking.

Fleetio
- Priced per vehicle per month, so cost scales with fleet size rather than with the number of people using it
- The Professional and Premium plans are billed annually only, with no monthly option
- Tire management is excluded from both Essential and Professional
- API access is rate limited by plan, at 50 requests a minute on Professional against 250 on Premium
- Active automations are rationed, at 5 on Professional against 40 on Premium
- The published per vehicle prices assume a 5 asset band, so a different fleet size is a different rate
