The short version

  • Only Felt has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Chevin FleetWave only the Lite tier has a published price; any fleet with real operational complexity ends up in the unpublished Core or Advanced tier regardless of the appealing £3 headline figure.; Felt felt publishes no prices for Professional or Enterprise, so buyers cannot compare against ArcGIS Online or QGIS with hosting without entering a sales process
  • They diverge on capability: Chevin FleetWave covers Maintenance scheduling, Felt covers Real-time collaboration.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

What people use each for

Where each one falls short

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

Chevin FleetWave

  • Only the Lite tier has a published price; any fleet with real operational complexity ends up in the unpublished Core or Advanced tier regardless of the appealing £3 headline figure.
  • Pricing is in GBP by default, reflecting Chevin UK base, which adds currency conversion uncertainty for buyers budgeting in other currencies before a formal quote.
  • The Lite tier is explicitly a simpler feature set, so a fleet that starts there and later needs compliance depth or multi-asset TCO reporting faces a tier upgrade and a new, unpublished price negotiation.
  • As a UK-headquartered vendor, integration depth with US-centric telematics and fuel card providers may be less mature than with UK and European partners.
  • Equipment and asset pricing at $0.50 per asset is a separate line item from the vehicle rate, so a mixed vehicle-and-equipment fleet needs to calculate two different per-unit costs to budget accurately.

Felt

  • Felt publishes no prices for Professional or Enterprise, so buyers cannot compare against ArcGIS Online or QGIS with hosting without entering a sales process
  • Paid tiers are annual contract only with no monthly option, which excludes consultancies that need a tool for a single short engagement and forces them to the free non-commercial tier they are not licensed to use for client work
  • The API, JavaScript SDK and live warehouse connections are enterprise-only, so a mid-sized team that wants programmatic access has to buy the top tier rather than pay for one capability
  • Analytical depth is limited: there is no meaningful geoprocessing, topology checking or model building, so Felt sits beside a real GIS rather than replacing one
  • The Professional tier caps data processing at 25 GB a month and map views at 100,000 a month, which are easy to exceed with raster imagery or a public-facing map, and the overage terms are not published either
