  • 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
