The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Navmii GPS pricing is pay-as-you-go but no rate cards or costs published online; Whip Around the $120 (Standard) or $220 (Pro) monthly minimum covers the first 20 assets regardless of actual fleet size, so a fleet with fewer than 20 vehicles pays a per-asset rate well above the advertised $5 or $10 headline figure.
  • They diverge on capability: Navmii GPS covers Offline navigation, Whip Around covers Digital DVIR inspections.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Navmii GPS

  • Pricing is pay-as-you-go but no rate cards or costs published online
  • Customers must contact sales team directly at +44 (0)208 090 8311 or [email protected] for pricing

Whip Around

  • The $120 (Standard) or $220 (Pro) monthly minimum covers the first 20 assets regardless of actual fleet size, so a fleet with fewer than 20 vehicles pays a per-asset rate well above the advertised $5 or $10 headline figure.
  • It does not include GPS tracking or route optimisation, so fleets wanting live location visibility need a separate telematics platform alongside it.
  • Signing an annual contract is needed to access the better per-asset rate, reducing flexibility for a fleet uncertain about its growth trajectory.
  • As an inspection-first rather than telematics-first product, it competes against broader platforms like Samsara or Geotab that bundle inspection features into a wider telematics suite, which can make Whip Around a second subscription rather than a full replacement.
  • AI-enabled photo inspection is a newer feature, and its defect-detection accuracy has less of an independent track record than the platform core manual inspection workflow.

No. It focuses on inspections, maintenance and work orders; GPS tracking requires a separate telematics product.
