Top Samsara Competitors

Mobile-focused AUTOsist tops our list of Samsara competitors primarily due to its user-friendly platform and budget-friendly pricing plans. You can get started with AUTOsist risk-free for 14 days or request a live demo anytime.

Along with Samsara, AUTOsist’s fleet management solutions include GPS tracking with geofence alerts, maintenance reminders and scheduling, driver behavior metrics and HD safety cameras. Other features the two solutions have in common are user management tools, custom reporting and work order management.

Samsara only offers custom pricing, but AUTOsist is upfront with its pricing. You can get started with AUTOsist’s fleet management solution, which includes maintenance plus GPS features for $27 per month per asset (if billed annually). The top-tier AUTOsist solution starts at $54 per asset per month (if billed annually) and features dual-facing safety cameras plus maintenance and GPS. Discount volume pricing is available for those who manage more than 100 assets.

If you’re looking for a solution to merely manage asset maintenance, AUTOsist offers packages starting at $5 per month per asset (if billed annually).

Ease of use and affordable, upfront pricing make AUTOsist our favorite Samsara alternative. AUTOsist is suitable for small to large fleet management in any industry.

Azuga is a popular Samsara alternative that’s worth a closer look, especially if you are in the market for a solution for a large fleet. More than 350,000 drivers already use Azuga, and these users come from all types of industries, including trucking, waste management, telecom, utilities and construction.

There are several similarities between Samsara and Azuga. Both offer GPS tracking, route optimization, dispatching, ELD compliance and geofencing capabilities. Another feature Samsara and Azuga have in common is integrated telematics data that lets customers track order status in real time, which can boost customer satisfaction.

The Azuga mobile tracking app is available with every fleet subscription and comes with views for administrators and drivers. Dispatchers and fleet managers can use the mobile app to access team movement in real time, so they can respond quickly to unexpected traffic-related or other issues that could impact performance.

Azuga has a reputation for easy installation and intuitive software navigation, an area where Azuga has a slight edge over Samsara. Azuga customers have access to unlimited U.S.-based phone, email and web support.

Along with Samsara, Azuga promotes its software as an all-in-one fleet management solution. Neither Samsara nor Azuga promotes prices publicly. To determine whether Azuga or Samsara is the better option for you, you will need to know the total price charged. Contact providers directly to get a cost quote for your business.

Who should use it:

Azuga can handle fleets as small as five vehicles, but advanced features such as employee time tracking, asset tracking and fleet-wide performance improvement tracking make it a strong choice for enterprise users with larger fleets.

If you’re looking for software that focuses entirely on fleet maintenance, you can’t go wrong with Whip Around. Unlike Samsara, Whip Around is not an all-in-one full fleet management solution. Whip Around focuses on managing data related to preventative maintenance, vehicle inspections and compliance—including DOT, state and corporate compliance.

Owner-operators can use the single-user/single-vehicle Basic plan for free. Samsara does not offer a free plan.

Whip Around has two paid plans. The Standard plan costs $5 per month per vehicle (if billed annually) and includes unlimited users, unlimited forms and templates, defect management, DVIR compliance, driver and vehicle profiles, history and document storage and third-party integrations.

The Whip Around Pro plan comes with every feature in the Standard plan, plus preventive maintenance schedules, work order management, parts and inventory maintenance and cost/time tracking. Pro plans start at $10 per month per vehicle (if billed annually). Monthly and annual pricing is available, and you’ll save about 10% by paying annually.

If you want to extend Whip Around’s capabilities, you can integrate the solution with Samsara; additional fees will apply and vary by integration.

Whip Around is ideal for small to midsized fleets that need a reliable fleet maintenance management solution.

Fleetio isn’t quite as feature-rich as Samsara, but Fleetio is a popular solution that offers a wide variety of fleet management features for a refreshingly low price. Fleetio is ideal for small businesses on a budget, while Samsara tends to be pricier and better suited to larger fleets.

There are three Fleetio plans—Starter, Pro and Advanced—that range from $4 to $10 per vehicle per month when billed annually. Monthly billing is also available.

Fleetio can help you handle asset and fuel management, inspections, cost-tracking, work orders, parts and inventory management, vehicle assignment scheduling and fleet maintenance.

The Pro and Advanced plans include replacement analysis, customizable dashboards, exception reporting, and third-party telematics and fuel card integrations.

Unlike Samsara, dashcams, ELD compliance and electric vehicle-specific support are unavailable with Fleetio. However, Fleetio integrates with several third-party apps, including Samsara and Azuga.

Fleetio is perfect for small businesses on a tight budget that have limited fleet management needs.

RoadWarrior is a route optimization solution for single drivers and teams. Unlike Samsara, it’s not a full-featured fleet management solution. However, if you only need limited route planning and optimization capabilities, RoadWarrior could help boost your overall efficiency.

The RoadWarrior app is available for both Android and iOS. The RoadWarrior Flex plan is designed for the solo driver or dispatcher in a team and costs $14.99 per month, per team member. The Flex plan allows you to create and adjust your team as needed and create optimized routes quickly. You can add 200 max route stops into the app as well as up to 500 optimized stops and 500 searches daily for you and each driver, plus data is synced and backed up to servers, and data upload and reporting are available.

Comparing RoadWarrior to Samsara is not like comparing one apple to another. RoadWarrior has limited features that work well but the platform doesn’t compete with Samsara’s feature-packed platform, which is far better suited to larger teams with extensive fleet management needs.

Who should use it:

RoadWarrior is a value-priced app for route planning and optimization that is perfect for small teams and individuals on a bare-bones budget who don’t need a full-featured fleet management solution.

Onfleet is a popular fleet management platform that excels in serving delivery fleets, while Samsara is more of a generalist option that is suitable for all types of industries and fleet needs.

With Onfleet, dispatch operations and routing are consolidated in one easy-to-navigate dashboard. The platform’s route optimization tools consider account driver location, traffic and unexpected incidents that can impact efficient delivery. Dispatchers can see up-to-the-second data on customer orders and driver locations. Proof of delivery is available through the Onfleet app via photos, barcodes and signatures.

Unlike with Samsara, you won’t get ELD compliance, maintenance management, driver coaching or AI security cameras with Onfleet. Still, Onfleet can help you create an excellent experience for customers and delivery drivers alike.

Onfleet delivery fleet management plans range from $500 to $1,150 per month; custom-priced Enterprise plans are also available. Since Samsara isn’t transparent with its pricing, you must obtain a quote directly from Samsara to determine whether Onfleet or Samsara offers the best value for your specific needs.

As the name implies, Rhino Fleet Tracking is all about helping you keep track of your fleet assets. Rhino does not offer dispatching features or custom driver workflows similar to Samsara, but what Rhino offers in terms of in-field vehicle tracking is impressive.

Rhino has more than 10 different cloud-based GPS tracking devices and will work with you to determine which device best meets your needs. Rhino’s real-time fleet tracking features driver scorecards and monitors driver hours of service, vehicle service records and miles by state—required for the International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA). The fleet tracking software retains up to 365 days of history.

Drive360 Smart Cameras are available through Rhino. Cameras can help prevent theft as well as protect your company should one of your vehicles be involved in an accident that was not your driver’s fault.

While Rhino does not publicly reveal much about its pricing, plans start as low as $16.95 per month per device, provided you have at least 20 vehicles in your fleet. For exact pricing information for your specific needs, you’ll need to contact Rhino directly to obtain a quote.

Seasonal plans are available, which is a feature unique to Rhino. No contract is required, another feature that Samsara does not offer, and plans are charged month to month.
