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

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
