The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Kepler.gl kepler.gl is a free open source library with no vendor-sold edition; confirmed by the absence of any App Store, marketplace or G-Cloud listing, support is limited to community GitHub issues rather than a purchased SLA.; 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: Kepler.gl covers Core Functionality, Webfleet covers Tachograph management.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Webfleet

  • A haulage operator running heavy goods vehicles across EU borders that must download tachograph data remotely and prove driving-time compliancenot Kepler.gl
  • A European van fleet that wants driver coaching and fuel reporting without buying an American platform with unused compliance modulesnot Kepler.gl
  • An organisation already buying Bridgestone tyres and maintenance that can fold telematics into an existing service contractnot Kepler.gl
  • Fleets that want in-cab navigation and job dispatch on a dedicated driver terminal rather than a phone appnot Kepler.gl

Where each one falls short

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

Kepler.gl

  • Kepler.gl is a free open source library with no vendor-sold edition; confirmed by the absence of any App Store, marketplace or G-Cloud listing, support is limited to community GitHub issues rather than a purchased SLA.

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

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.

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.

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.
