The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Geotab specific pricing amounts not published online; contact sales required; Quartix video telematics is not part of the core product, so any fleet that decides it needs camera evidence after an incident has to bring in a second vendor and a second subscription.
  • They diverge on capability: Geotab covers Real-time GPS tracking, Quartix covers Live tracking.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

Geotab

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

Quartix

  • Video telematics is not part of the core product, so any fleet that decides it needs camera evidence after an incident has to bring in a second vendor and a second subscription.
  • There is no maintenance, work order or parts management, so servicing schedules stay in whatever spreadsheet or garage system the fleet already runs.
  • US hours of service and wider DOT compliance are not the focus, which rules Quartix out for regulated interstate commercial operations.
  • The standard tracker is hardwired rather than a plug-in device, so installation means booking vehicles in, which adds cost and downtime that no-contract plug-in competitors avoid.
  • The API and integration list are short, so feeding tracking data into payroll, job costing or an ERP tends to mean scheduled exports rather than a supported connector.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

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.

Source
Quartix: Why is Quartix cheaper than the big platforms?

Because it does less. There is no camera ecosystem, no compliance suite and no marketplace to fund. If you only need tracking, you are not subsidising features you will not use.

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
Quartix: Do I have to sign for three years?

No. Shorter terms are offered, priced higher per month than the longer options. The rates are published, so the trade-off is visible before you talk to anyone.

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.

Source
Quartix: Is the hardware mine?

The tracking unit is supplied as part of the subscription rather than sold to you. Check the return and replacement terms if you plan to leave or dispose of vehicles.
