Where each one falls short

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

Fleet Complete

  • Because most contracts are sold through a carrier, the commercial relationship, the service levels and the renewal date belong to the carrier, so a pricing dispute or a support escalation goes through a reseller who did not build the software.
  • Hardware is bundled into the subscription over a multi-year term, so a fleet that shrinks mid-contract keeps paying for units that are sitting in a store cupboard unless it negotiated a downsizing clause up front.
  • The product line was assembled by acquisition, so hours of service, European tracking and the core platform originated as separate products, leaving overlapping apps, duplicate logins and features that exist in one region but not another.
  • The third-party integration ecosystem is far smaller than the marketplaces run by Geotab or Samsara, so bespoke connections to a maintenance or payroll system usually mean building against the API yourself.
  • The web console and reporting look and behave like software designed a decade ago, and administrators who have used a newer platform will find the reporting builder slow and the exports rigid.

Geotab

  • Specific pricing amounts not published online; contact sales required
  • Custom pricing available for larger fleet volumes

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Fleet Complete: Do I buy Fleet Complete directly or through my mobile operator?

Both are possible, but the majority of North American customers buy through AT&T or Telus. Check which entity the contract is with, because it determines your support path, your billing cycle and your renewal date.

Geotab: How is Geotab priced?

Geotab offers two subscription tiers: GO Core for basic fleet tracking and GO Plan for comprehensive fleet management. Both plans include hardware in the subscription price with no upfront costs or installation fees. Specific pricing is custom-quoted by the sales team.

Fleet Complete: What happens to the hardware if I cancel?

Devices supplied as part of a subsidised subscription are normally recovered or charged for on early termination. Ask for the exact clause before signing, because it is where the real cost of leaving sits.

Geotab: Does Geotab include hardware in the subscription?

Yes, both GO Core and GO Plan subscriptions include Geotab hardware at no upfront device cost. Hardware is integrated into the monthly subscription pricing.

Source
Fleet Complete: Is it a fit for a fleet of five vans?

It will work, but small fleets get a better deal from vendors that publish pricing and sell month to month. Fleet Complete pricing improves with volume and a carrier relationship.

Geotab: Is it easy to upgrade between Geotab plans?

Yes, customers can easily upgrade or downgrade between GO Core and GO Plan through the MyGeotab portal, allowing flexible scaling as fleet needs change.
