The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Azuga driver monitoring is contentious regardless of framing, and rewards do not remove that; ArcGIS Field Maps field Maps has no price of its own, so a project budget built from the product page misses the Creator seats, the Mobile Worker seats and the ArcGIS Online credits or Enterprise infrastructure that actually cost money
  • They diverge on capability: Azuga covers GPS tracking, ArcGIS Field Maps covers Offline map areas.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

  • Service businesses proving arrival times to customersnot ArcGIS Field Maps

ArcGIS Field Maps

  • A water utility whose inspectors update the same asset feature service the office GIS runs on, rather than filling in forms that someone re-keysnot Azuga

Where each one falls short

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

Azuga

  • Driver monitoring is contentious regardless of framing, and rewards do not remove that
  • Hardware installation per vehicle is real upfront cost and effort
  • Contracts are typically multi-year, which limits switching
  • A smaller ecosystem than Samsara or Geotab, with fewer third-party integrations

ArcGIS Field Maps

  • Field Maps has no price of its own, so a project budget built from the product page misses the Creator seats, the Mobile Worker seats and the ArcGIS Online credits or Enterprise infrastructure that actually cost money
  • It only works against Esri feature services, so an organisation whose data is in PostGIS or a database without an ArcGIS layer must publish through Esri first, which is a platform decision rather than an app choice
  • Named user licensing means occasional or seasonal field staff still consume a full annual seat, and organisations with a large pool of infrequent collectors pay for capacity they use a few weeks a year
  • As a forms tool alone it is more rigid and more expensive than dedicated mobile forms products, so its value collapses if you are not already committed to ArcGIS
  • The consolidation of four apps into one changed established workflows, and organisations that had built processes around Collector or Workforce have had to rework them on Esri's timetable rather than their own

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Azuga: What does Azuga cost?

It publishes per-vehicle monthly pricing, normally on a multi-year contract with hardware.

ArcGIS Field Maps: Can I buy Field Maps on its own?

No. It is included with the Mobile Worker, Creator and GIS Professional user types, and you need at least one Creator in the organisation to author maps.

Azuga: How is it different from other fleet trackers?

It leans on driver scorecards and rewards rather than pure oversight, though how that feels depends on how the company uses the data.

ArcGIS Field Maps: What replaced Collector and Workforce?

Field Maps. Esri merged Collector, Explorer, Tracker and Workforce into it and retired the separate apps.

Azuga: Does it handle ELD compliance?

Yes, it supports electronic logging for hours-of-service requirements.

ArcGIS Field Maps: Does it work offline?

Yes. Map areas are downloaded in advance and edits synchronise when connectivity returns.

ArcGIS Field Maps: Can it write to a non-Esri database?

Not directly. The data must be published as an ArcGIS feature service, which may sit over an enterprise geodatabase you already run.
