The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Chevin FleetWave only the Lite tier has a published price; any fleet with real operational complexity ends up in the unpublished Core or Advanced tier regardless of the appealing £3 headline figure.; Webfleet ownership sits with a tyre manufacturer, so product investment follows the tyre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: Chevin FleetWave covers Maintenance scheduling, Webfleet covers Tachograph management.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

Chevin FleetWave

  • Only the Lite tier has a published price; any fleet with real operational complexity ends up in the unpublished Core or Advanced tier regardless of the appealing £3 headline figure.
  • Pricing is in GBP by default, reflecting Chevin UK base, which adds currency conversion uncertainty for buyers budgeting in other currencies before a formal quote.
  • The Lite tier is explicitly a simpler feature set, so a fleet that starts there and later needs compliance depth or multi-asset TCO reporting faces a tier upgrade and a new, unpublished price negotiation.
  • As a UK-headquartered vendor, integration depth with US-centric telematics and fuel card providers may be less mature than with UK and European partners.
  • Equipment and asset pricing at $0.50 per asset is a separate line item from the vehicle rate, so a mixed vehicle-and-equipment fleet needs to calculate two different per-unit costs to budget accurately.

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

Chevin FleetWave: Is FleetWave pricing public?

Only for the Lite tier, at £3 per vehicle per month plus $0.50 per equipment asset. Core and Advanced tiers require a consultation.

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.

Chevin FleetWave: What is the difference between Lite, Core and Advanced?

Lite is a simpler feature set for smaller or less complex fleets; Core and Advanced add compliance, TCO and multi-asset reporting depth, priced separately.

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.

Chevin FleetWave: Does it track non-vehicle equipment?

Yes, equipment and associated assets are tracked within the same platform, priced separately from vehicles.

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.
