Samsara alternatives are sought by fleets that bought a broad connected-operations platform and mainly use vehicle tracking, and by buyers who cannot compare a price because none is published. Most move to a narrower telematics provider with a published rate, to an open platform sold through resellers, or to a European provider with local support.

Sebastiaan SmitsShort answer: The closest replacements for Samsara in our fleet management ranking are Motive, Geotab and Verizon Connect. Choose Motive if you want a like-for-like US platform and mainly want to compare AI camera performance. All 12 alternatives below are ranked products from Best Fleet Management Software in 2026, and each says where it differs from Samsara.
Vendors can pay for visibility on this site; it never changes what we say about a product. How that works.
Samsara's pricing page asks for the number of vehicles or assets (from 1-5 up to 5,000+) before it shows anything, so the cost is a quote. A fleet that wants to set two or three offers side by side before a sales conversation has nothing to put in the first column. Providers such as Quartix and Vimcar publish a per-vehicle rate.
Samsara lists fleet tracking and ELD alongside AI dash cameras, site visibility, trailer and asset tags, reefer monitoring, driver apps and wearables for site workers. That scope suits operations that run vehicles, equipment and sites together. A fleet that only needs positions, trip history and a driver score pays for a platform it will not fully use.
Samsara is headquartered in San Francisco and its pages emphasise US compliance such as ELD, DVIR and FirstNet. It also lists offices in London and Paris. A European fleet that needs tachograph downloads, local installers and support in its own language will often get that more directly from a regional provider.

United States · Quoted per vehicle per month on a multi-year term
Motive is the closest direct rival: a US company selling AI dash cameras, ELDs, GPS tracking, maintenance and a fleet card as one platform, with pricing handled through its sales team as at Samsara. It does not make the decision easier on price, and it has the same North American centre of gravity.
Switch from Samsara if you want a like-for-like US platform and mainly want to compare AI camera performance.
Canada · Quoted per vehicle per month by a reseller
Geotab sells through Fleet Management Partners who install and support the service, and publishes a free API and SDK with a marketplace of over 200 third-party add-ons. Its GO device plugs into the OBD port. The partner model means price and service depend on the reseller you pick.
Switch from Samsara if you want an open platform with many add-ons and a local installer.
United States · Quoted per vehicle per month on a multi-year term
Verizon Connect is owned by Verizon and sells GPS tracking, AI dash cameras, asset tracking and ELD compliance to US construction, logistics, utilities and government fleets. Its pages refer to plans and pricing but show no figures. It is a US-centred product with little to offer fleets outside North America.
Switch from Samsara if you are a US fleet that wants a carrier-backed provider and a mainstream alternative.

Netherlands · Quoted per vehicle per month; multi-year hardware term
Webfleet has run as a web-based fleet service since 1999, passed through TomTom and has belonged to Bridgestone since 2019.

United States · Quoted per vehicle per month on a fixed term
Teletrac Navman is part of Vontier and sells its TN360 and DIRECTOR platforms for GPS tracking, video telematics, ELD, routing and maintenance, with regional offices in Australia, New Zealand, Mexico and the UK. Customers use a solution builder to get tailored pricing. The scope is narrower than Samsara's equipment and workforce products.
Switch from Samsara if you want a trucking or construction fleet tool with a presence in Australia or New Zealand.
Teletrac Navman, #15 of 16 in our fleet management ranking →
United States · Quoted per vehicle per month
GPS Insight, based in Scottsdale, Arizona, sells GPS tracking, smart cameras, field service management and ELD, and positions itself at small and medium businesses in North America. It publishes no prices and quotes by phone or demo. It has no equivalent of Samsara's wearable or site-security products.
Switch from Samsara if you are a small or mid-sized US fleet that wants field service and tracking in one tool.
United Kingdom · Per vehicle per month, published; 12 to 60 month terms, then rolling monthly
Quartix is a UK company that publishes monthly rental prices per vehicle (from 9.99 to 15.99 pounds across three plans), with contract terms from 12 to 60 months that move to rolling monthly afterwards and no auto-renewal. It serves fleets of any size and does not list equipment or site workers.
Switch from Samsara if you want a price on the page and no automatic renewal.
Ireland · Quoted per vehicle per month
Transpoco is an Irish provider selling tracking, AI-connected dash cams, fuel management, maintenance scheduling and EV fleet tools, mainly in the UK and Ireland. Pricing is quote-based. It is a consultative service with local support, where Samsara is a large US platform business.

Latvia · Quoted per vehicle per month; plans include tracker rental
Mapon is a Latvian company working in over 20 countries through more than 150 partners. It offers tachograph data download, video telematics, fuel management and its own Mapon Expert and Basic devices, and it supports third-party trackers. Pricing comes by quote. It is aimed at European haulage and mixed fleets.
Switch from Samsara if you need tachograph data handling for a European fleet.
Germany · Per vehicle per month, published; 12 or 24 month terms paid annually, renewing yearly
Vimcar is a German provider whose products are a digital logbook for tax purposes and GPS tracking, with published prices: Fleet Geo at 13.90 euros per vehicle per month plus a platform fee from 19.95 euros monthly. It targets small fleets and self-employed drivers, and has no ELD, video or equipment features.
Switch from Samsara if you are a small German-speaking fleet that needs a tax-compliant logbook.
Norway · Quoted per unit per month; 12-month contracts with self-installed hardware
ABAX sells one platform for vehicles, tools and assets for construction, transport, plant hire and utilities. It states over 40,000 customers across Europe, more than 500,000 connected vehicles and assets, and installation without a professional fitter. Its pricing page exists but prices are given on request. It lacks Samsara's depth in ELD and AI camera features.
Switch from Samsara if you track tools and plant as well as vehicles and want to fit devices yourself.
Netherlands · Quoted per vehicle per month
FleetGO sells fleet telematics, tachograph downloads and compliance tools alongside transport management (TMS) and warehouse management software, as a complete hardware and software package, in Dutch, German and French. It suits a logistics company that wants one supplier for fleet and transport planning. It has no AI camera range comparable to Samsara's.
Switch from Samsara if you run a logistics business and want fleet tracking and transport management from one vendor.
Samsara remains the right choice when the fleet is large, North American and varied: vehicles, trailers, equipment and sites that all need to appear in one system, with AI cameras and ELD compliance alongside. Its platform lists over 350 integrations and a wide hardware range, and the company is a listed US business with a stated focus on safety outcomes. If you will use several of those modules, a narrower provider will likely leave gaps you then fill with extra tools.
Samsara tracking devices, dash cameras and asset tags are its own hardware, so a move means removing them and fitting the new provider's units. Ask the new vendor who removes and installs, and check the Samsara contract terms for the hardware and end date before you give notice. We could not confirm the term lengths from Samsara's public pages.
Trip history, driver safety scores, inspection reports and any ELD records live in Samsara. Export what you must keep for compliance before the account closes, and check which of the 350 or so integrations you rely on (payroll, TMS, fuel cards) exist at the new provider.
Samsara does not publish a price. Its pricing page asks how many vehicles or assets you have, from 1-5 up to 5,000+, and then routes you to a quote.
Competitors that publish rates include Quartix (9.99 to 15.99 pounds per vehicle per month) and Vimcar (13.90 euros per vehicle per month for Fleet Geo, plus a platform fee).
Motive is the most direct comparison, since it also sells AI dash cameras, ELD and fleet tracking as one platform. Geotab, Verizon Connect and Teletrac Navman cover similar ground for US fleets. For a European fleet, Webfleet and Mapon are the more natural starting points.
Quartix and Vimcar publish per-vehicle prices and target smaller fleets. GPS Insight positions itself at small and medium businesses in North America. Samsara's wider modules, such as equipment and site monitoring, matter less to a fleet of a few vans.
Yes. Webfleet, Mapon, Transpoco, Vimcar, ABAX, Quartix and FleetGO all operate in Europe. Mapon handles tachograph downloads and works in over 20 countries, while Vimcar is built around the German logbook. These vendors differ in hosting and support language, so check each one's data location.
Geotab publishes a free API and SDK and lists over 200 third-party add-ons in its marketplace, sold through partners. Samsara itself lists more than 350 integrations.
That depends on your contract, which we could not check from public pages. Samsara sells its own hardware, so plan on the new provider fitting its own units. Ask for the hardware terms in writing before you cancel.
