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

MapTiler

  • The free tier is restricted to testing, personal or non commercial use and forces a MapTiler logo on the map
  • Free is capped at 5,000 map sessions, 1,000 search sessions and 100,000 API requests a month
  • Free storage is 5 GB but limited to a single file
  • The Flex plan at $30 a month bills overage at $2.50 per 1,000 sessions and $0.15 per 1,000 API requests
  • Soft usage limits that prevent surprise overage bills are a Custom plan feature, so cheaper plans can run up charges
  • A 99.9% SLA requires the prepaid Custom contract
