The short version

  • Only Felt has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: 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; Webfleet ownership sits with a tyre manufacturer, so product investment follows the tyre and vehicle services strategy, and features that do not feed that business have historically moved slowly.
  • They diverge on capability: Felt covers Real-time collaboration, Webfleet covers Tachograph management.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

  • Fleets that want in-cab navigation and job dispatch on a dedicated driver terminal rather than a phone appnot Felt

Where each one falls short

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

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

Webfleet

  • Ownership sits with a tyre manufacturer, so product investment follows the tyre and vehicle services strategy, and features that do not feed that business have historically moved slowly.
  • North American coverage is thin next to the European operation, with a smaller partner network and an hours of service product that is not competitive with purpose-built ELD vendors.
  • Useful compliance capability sits in add-on tiers, so remote tachograph download and advanced reporting push the real per vehicle cost well above the entry quote.
  • The camera line arrived later than the market and offers less on-device detection and less coaching workflow than Lytx or Samsara, so safety-driven buyers often end up running a second system.
  • Contracts are hardware-led and usually multi-year, so replacing Webfleet means either running out the term or writing off installed devices that have no resale value.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Felt: What does Felt cost?

Felt does not publish prices for Professional or Enterprise. Personal is free but licensed for non-commercial use only.

Webfleet: Is Webfleet still connected to TomTom?

No. TomTom sold the telematics business to Bridgestone in 2019. There is still navigation and mapping heritage in the driver terminals, but the owner and the strategy are Bridgestone.

Felt: Can I pay monthly?

No. Paid plans are annual contracts. There is a 7 day trial of Professional.

Webfleet: Can it handle US ELD requirements?

There is an offering, but it is not the strength of the platform. A fleet whose main problem is US hours of service compliance should look at vendors built around that mandate.

Felt: Do viewers cost anything?

No. Viewer access is unlimited on the paid plans, which is the main reason organisations with large map audiences choose it.

Webfleet: Do I have to buy Bridgestone tyres to use it?

No. The tyre services integration is optional. It is worth pricing as a bundle if you already buy from Bridgestone, because that is where the discounting sits.

Felt: Is there a nonprofit discount?

Yes, 30 per cent for verified United States nonprofits, and free access for verified students and classrooms.
