The short version

  • 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Chevin FleetWave only the Lite tier has a published price; any fleet with real operational complexity ends up in the unpublished Core or Advanced tier regardless of the appealing £3 headline figure.; GPS Trackit month-to-month pricing carries a premium, so measured across three years the total cost usually exceeds a competitor with hardware amortised into a term contract.
  • They diverge on capability: Chevin FleetWave covers Maintenance scheduling, GPS Trackit covers Live tracking.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

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  • Only the Lite tier has a published price; any fleet with real operational complexity ends up in the unpublished Core or Advanced tier regardless of the appealing £3 headline figure.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a fleet that starts there and later needs compliance depth or multi-asset TCO reporting faces a tier upgrade and a new, unpublished price negotiation.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.

GPS Trackit

  • Month-to-month pricing carries a premium, so measured across three years the total cost usually exceeds a competitor with hardware amortised into a term contract.
  • The feature set is tracking-first, with a shallow maintenance module and no meaningful work order, parts or inventory management, so fleets serious about maintenance need a second system.
  • Compliance tooling is basic, and a fleet that takes on regulated interstate work will find the hours of service capability behind vendors built around the mandate.
  • The integration list is short and the API is limited, so pushing telematics data into payroll, job costing or an ERP normally becomes a manual export routine.
  • Self-installed OBD-II devices are easy to fit and equally easy for a driver to unplug, and the tamper reporting does not make up for the fact that the physical device is within reach of the person being monitored.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Chevin FleetWave: Is FleetWave pricing public?

Only for the Lite tier, at £3 per vehicle per month plus $0.50 per equipment asset. Core and Advanced tiers require a consultation.

GPS Trackit: Is there really no contract?

The subscription is month to month, but read the hardware terms. Devices are supplied on the expectation they come back, and unreturned units are charged for.

Chevin FleetWave: What is the difference between Lite, Core and Advanced?

Lite is a simpler feature set for smaller or less complex fleets; Core and Advanced add compliance, TCO and multi-asset reporting depth, priced separately.

GPS Trackit: How does the cost compare to Samsara or Verizon Connect over three years?

Generally higher per vehicle, because those vendors discount in exchange for the commitment. The comparison only favours GPS Trackit if you value the ability to leave.

Chevin FleetWave: Does it track non-vehicle equipment?

Yes, equipment and associated assets are tracked within the same platform, priced separately from vehicles.

GPS Trackit: Can drivers unplug the tracker?

A plug-in OBD-II device can be removed in seconds. The system reports the disconnection, but enforcement is a management problem, not a technical one. Hardwired units are available for fleets where this matters.
