Motive plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |

What the product covers
The full Motive feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.
Other
- ELD compliance
- AI dashcams
- GPS tracking
- Driver safety scoring
- Vehicle diagnostics
- Spend management
People bring Motive in for a trucking fleet that must run fmcsa compliant electronic logs and wants cameras from the same vendor, an operator facing an insurance renewal that requires evidence of a driver coaching programme, a construction fleet tracking both vehicles and unpowered assets such as trailers and generators, a fleet suspecting fuel card misuse and wanting transactions matched against vehicle location. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Motive are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in Fleet Management
Too few fleet management tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Motive badges page.
Before you pay for Motive
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: a single tier at On request. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Motive against the tools that do have one before committing.
Motive runs on web, ios, android, and is published by Motive Technologies of San Francisco, California, United States. The full record is on the Motive review, and the rest of the category is under best fleet management tools.
