Fleetio pricing, plan by plan
Fleetio pricing is per vehicle per month across three plans, Essential, Professional and Premium, with unlimited users on every tier and no free plan. Essential can be billed monthly or annually; Professional and Premium are annual only.
A 14-day trial runs on all three with no credit card.
We do not quote the rates. Fleetio does publish them to human visitors, but fleetio.com returns HTTP 403 to automated retrieval on every path, including /pricing and /pricing/plan-comparison, checked on 30 September and again on 8 October 2026.
This site does not print a vendor price it could not read at source, so the figures here stop at the plan structure, which comes from help.fleetio.com.
The more useful point is that the Fleetio subscription is not your fleet-software bill. Fleetio supplies no hardware and no tracking, so the number to compare against a Samsara or Geotab quote is Fleetio plus a telematics vendor, not Fleetio alone.
Rajat Gupta runs FleetOpsClub and writes its software reviews, comparisons and pricing pages. Every tool on the site is assessed against the vendor's own published documentation and pricing, and each pricing figure carries the date it was last verified so readers can judge how current it is. Where a vendor does not publish a price, the page says so rather than estimating one.
Last reviewed Aug 20, 2026Pricing is only one part of the evaluation. How we review software sets out what else we check beyond cost, and the fleet management categories show how pricing compares across the market.
Fleetio pricing
Fleetio is one of the few vendors in fleet software where you can model the software cost before speaking to anyone. That alone separates it from most of this market: Samsara's pricing page is a fleet-size questionnaire, Geotab's packages page shows two plans and no figure, and Lytx and Netradyne both route /pricing to a demo form.
A published ladder means you can rule Fleetio in or out on budget in an afternoon.
The tier that matters is Professional, and the reason is the 100-vehicle ceiling on Essential. Essential covers asset profiles, VIN decoding, digital inspections, fuel tracking and basic reporting, which is a real improvement on a spreadsheet and nothing more.
Work orders, parts management, recall management, the outsourced maintenance network of more than 110,000 shops, every integration, and API and webhook access all sit on Professional. Fleets that buy Essential to save money and then need a work order are buying twice.
Premium is narrower than it looks. It adds purchase orders, full parts and inventory management with stock levels and reorder points, tire management, warranty tracking, Advanced Analytics and the labour clock.
Each of those maps to a specific operation: you stock parts in-house, you track tire life as a cost centre, you want technician hours against a job. If none of those is true today, Premium is a higher rate attached to workflows nobody will open.
Published comparators exist inside fleet maintenance software, which makes this one of the easier categories to benchmark. RTA publishes $6, $8 and $11 per asset per month, billed annually with unlimited users and a 100-asset minimum.
Simply Fleet is free to five vehicles, then $3 per vehicle per month for Essential and $5 for Advanced after an increase that landed on 15 September 2026. Fullbay, which is shop-management rather than fleet-side, charges per shop instead: $188, $258 and $318 per month with additional full users at $89 to $119 and timesheet-only users at $25.
All three were checked on 30 September 2026.
Watch the billing unit rather than the number, because the three models are not comparable. RTA's 100-asset minimum means a 30-vehicle fleet pays for 100 assets, so its headline $6 is a floor of several hundred dollars a month, not a small-fleet rate.
Fullbay's $188 buys one shop and one full user licence, so a five-user shop on Basic is $544 a month. Fleetio's per-vehicle model scales smoothly in both directions and has no stated minimum, which is why it fits mid-sized fleets that are growing and awkward comparisons that assume a flat rate get this wrong.
Whip Around shows what happens when a published rate is withdrawn, and it is a caution worth carrying. Its pricing page now redirects to the homepage while the site navigation still links to it, and its orphaned pricing-old page remains online showing a superseded Pro rate of $10 against the $9 that was live on the main page as of 16 June 2026.
Anyone pricing Whip Around today can land on either figure from the vendor's own domain. Record the date and the URL next to any rate you collect, including Fleetio's, because this category revises rates quietly.
Fleetio publishes nothing about contract terms, which is the one real gap in an otherwise legible commercial story. There is no minimum term, renewal length, notice period or escalator anywhere in the snapshot, and Professional and Premium are annual-billed, so an annual commitment is implied without being stated.
Ask for all four in writing. For reference on how much that matters, Fleet Complete's terms default to 36 months with an automatic 5% annual fee increase, and Azuga's default to four years where the order form is silent.
Essential
Not verified: fleetio.com blocks automated retrieval. Monthly or annual billing.
Asset profiles, VIN decoding, digital inspections, fuel tracking, basic reporting, unlimited users. Max 100 vehicles. The entry tier for fleets moving off spreadsheets.
Professional
Not verified: fleetio.com blocks automated retrieval. Annual billing only.
Everything in Essential plus work orders, outsourced maintenance with 110K+ shop network, parts management, recall management, telematics and fuel card integrations, API/webhooks, unlimited vehicles. The tier where Fleetio becomes a real maintenance platform.
Premium
Not verified: fleetio.com blocks automated retrieval. Annual billing only.
Everything in Professional plus purchase orders, full parts and inventory management, tire management, warranty tracking, Advanced Analytics, labor clock. The tier for fleets managing parts rooms and needing deep operational reporting.
Pricing source: official pricing page, verified 2026-10-08. Fleetio does publish per-vehicle rates on its pricing page for human visitors, which is why this page describes the plan structure rather than calling Fleetio quote-only. But fleetio.com returns HTTP 403 to automated retrieval (checked 2026-09-30 and again 2026-10-08, every path including /pricing and /pricing/plan-comparison), so the current rates could not be read from the vendor's own site. No rate is asserted here. The plan structure below comes from help.fleetio.com, which is Fleetio's own domain and does not state prices.
What each Fleetio tier adds
Use the 14-day trial to settle the tier question, not to tour the product. Load twenty real vehicles, run a week of inspections through Fleetio Go, and raise one genuine work order.
If the work order is the thing your team keeps reaching for, you operate on Professional and should price on that from the start rather than discovering it in month three.
Model the full stack before you compare Fleetio with anything that bundles hardware. A maintenance subscription plus a tracking subscription plus devices is the honest comparator for a Samsara or Geotab quote.
Published tracking rates give you the second half of that sum: One Step GPS at $13.95 per vehicle per month, Quartix at $14.00, Azuga at $25 for BasicFleet, each verified in September 2026. Put both lines in a total cost of ownership worksheet and compare totals, not rates.
Decide the integration question before the tier question, because they are the same question. Telematics and fuel-card integrations and API access are Professional-and-up, so if your tracking data has to reach Fleetio automatically, Essential was never an option.
Fleets that skip this step end up exporting CSV files by hand to save a tier, which costs more in labour than the upgrade.
Price Premium against a real parts process. Count how many part numbers you hold, whether anyone currently tracks reorder points, and whether tire life is managed as a cost line.
If the answers are small, no and no, stay on Professional and revisit in a year. Our parts inventory tracker is a reasonable interim step for fleets that are not ready to pay for the module.
If Fleetio is on a shortlist with a maintenance-plus-telematics platform, compare the commitment as well as the capability. Fleetio against Geotab is the clearest version of that decision: software you can price yourself against a reseller quote that includes the hardware.

Picking the right Fleetio plan
Confirm the current rate at source
This page deliberately carries no Fleetio figure, because fleetio.com blocks automated retrieval and the rates could not be verified. Read them from fleetio.com/pricing yourself, note the date, and distrust any third-party page quoting a Fleetio rate without one.
Price the tier you will operate on
Essential caps at 100 vehicles and excludes work orders, parts, recalls and every integration. If any of those is in scope, Professional is the real rate and Essential is a quote you will not use.
Add the telematics line
Fleetio supplies no hardware, so GPS, ELD and cameras are a second vendor and a second bill. Compare Fleetio plus tracking against bundled platforms, or the comparison flatters Fleetio by leaving out half the stack.
Ask for term, notice and escalator
Fleetio publishes none of them, and Professional and Premium are annual-billed. Get the initial term, renewal length, notice window and any annual increase into the order form before signing, and diary the notice date.
Check the enterprise rate separately
Large fleets should ask whether negotiated pricing replaces the public per-vehicle rate, and on what volume it starts. A published ladder that stops applying at 500 vehicles is not a published rate for a 500-vehicle fleet.
Set permissions before rollout
Unlimited users on every tier removes seat cost as a brake on access. Agree which roles can see inspection records, fuel transactions and per-vehicle cost data, and write that into the implementation plan rather than after the first complaint.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the questions buyers usually ask once the category, software, or rollout details start getting more specific.
How much does Fleetio cost per month?
Fleetio charges per vehicle per month across Essential, Professional and Premium, with unlimited users on every tier. We do not reproduce the rates: fleetio.com returns HTTP 403 to automated retrieval, checked 30 September and again 8 October 2026, so they could not be read at source. Check fleetio.com/pricing directly.
Is Fleetio free?
No. Fleetio has three paid tiers and no free plan. Essential can be billed monthly or annually; Professional and Premium are annual only. There is a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. If you need a genuinely free tier, Simply Fleet covers up to five vehicles at no cost.
What is included in Fleetio Essential?
Asset profiles, VIN decoding, digital inspections through the Fleetio Go app, fuel tracking, basic reporting and unlimited users, capped at 100 vehicles. It excludes work orders, the outsourced maintenance network, parts management and every integration, which is why most fleets outgrow it rather than stay on it.
What changes from Fleetio Essential to Professional?
Professional is the real operating tier. It adds work order management, outsourced maintenance through a network of more than 110,000 shops, parts management, recall management, telematics and fuel-card integrations, API and webhook access, and it lifts the 100-vehicle ceiling. Essential is a spreadsheet replacement; Professional is a maintenance platform.
What does Fleetio Premium add?
Purchase orders, full parts and inventory management with stock levels and reorder points, tire management, warranty tracking, Advanced Analytics and the labour clock. It earns its price only if you run a parts room in-house. If you do not stock parts, Premium is a line item with no workflow behind it.
Does Fleetio include GPS tracking?
No. Fleetio is maintenance-first software and supplies no hardware, so GPS, ELD and cameras come from a separate vendor and a separate bill. Budget both together: a tracking subscription in this category runs from published rates such as One Step GPS at $13.95 per vehicle per month upward.
Is Fleetio cheaper than Samsara?
Almost certainly, but they do different jobs, so the comparison is scope rather than headline rate. Samsara publishes no price at all and bundles hardware, telematics and cameras; Fleetio publishes a plan ladder and bundles none of them. Our Fleetio and Samsara comparison sets the two stacks side by side.
How does Fleetio compare with RTA on price?
RTA publishes what Fleetio does not. RTA Fleet360 lists $6, $8 and $11 per asset per month, billed annually with unlimited users and a 100-asset minimum, verified 30 September 2026. That minimum makes RTA a floor of 100 assets, so fleets under 100 assets pay less with a per-vehicle model.
Does Fleetio offer a free trial?
Yes, 14 days on all plans with no credit card required. Use it to answer one question rather than to tour features: whether Essential's inspection and fuel workflow is enough, or whether work orders and the shop network put you on Professional. That single answer decides your tier and your bill.
Who can see the data in Fleetio?
Whoever you invite. Unlimited users on every tier is a pricing advantage and an access-control obligation at the same time, because seat cost no longer limits who gets an account. Before rollout, agree in writing which roles see driver inspection records, fuel transactions and cost data, and review that list quarterly.
