Where each one falls short

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

AllData

  • All plans require ongoing monthly subscription with no perpetual license option
  • Many add-on modules require a base subscription (Repair or Collision) to function

Fleetio

  • Priced per vehicle per month, so cost scales with fleet size rather than with the number of people using it
  • 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
