Best One Step GPS Alternatives 2026: 7 Competitors Compared

GPS Trackit at $18/vehicle/month is the best budget-friendly alternative. It costs just $4 more than One Step GPS but adds dash cameras, ELD, maintenance tracking, and driver safety scoring. The main trade-off is a contract requirement.

Fleetio is the only alternative on this list that offers month-to-month pricing (from $5/vehicle/month). However, Fleetio is primarily a maintenance management platform — it does not include GPS tracking hardware. You would need to pair it with a GPS tracker. Most GPS tracking competitors require contracts of 1-3 years.

For fleets under 50 vehicles with basic needs, Samsara is likely overkill. For fleets of 100+ vehicles or those needing AI cameras, ELD, maintenance, and enterprise analytics, Samsara’s $27/month per vehicle delivers significant ROI through fuel savings, accident reduction, and operational efficiency gains.

Yes. Fleetio integrates with many GPS tracking providers. You can use One Step GPS for location tracking ($14/mo) and Fleetio for maintenance management ($5/mo), giving you both capabilities for $19/vehicle/month total — still cheaper than most all-in-one platforms.

Motive (formerly KeepTruckin) is the top choice for trucking fleets. It offers FMCSA-registered ELD compliance, AI dash cameras, DVIR, IFTA reporting, and load management — all features that trucking operations require and One Step GPS does not provide.

Switching is relatively easy since One Step GPS has no contracts. You simply cancel your subscription and install the new provider’s hardware. Most competitors offer onboarding support and will help migrate your vehicle data. The main effort is swapping OBD-II devices in each vehicle, which takes about 30 seconds per vehicle.

Stay with One Step GPS if: you only need location tracking, your fleet is under 50 vehicles, you do not need cameras or ELD, and budget is your top priority. Switch if: you need video evidence for insurance, require ELD compliance, want maintenance tracking, or need advanced driver safety features. The good news is One Step GPS has no cancellation fees.

For basic dash cameras, GPS Trackit ($18/mo) is the most affordable option. For AI-powered cameras with automatic event detection and coaching, Motive ($25/mo) and Samsara ($27/mo) are the industry leaders. Azuga ($20/mo) also offers camera add-ons at a mid-range price point.

No. One Step GPS hardware is proprietary and only works with their platform. When switching to a new provider, you will need to install the new provider’s hardware. Since you own the One Step GPS devices, you can keep them as spares but they will not function with another service.

GPS Trackit ($18/mo) is the best fit for service fleets. It offers GPS tracking, basic cameras for liability protection, job-site geofencing, and route history at a price point that works for field service companies. For fleets that also want work order management, pairing One Step GPS with Fleetio ($19/mo combined) is a cost-effective alternative.

Yes. Azuga has formal partnerships with insurance carriers and offers documented fleet insurance discounts based on driver safety scores. Samsara and Motive users also frequently report insurance savings (typically 10-15%) due to their AI dash camera footage and safety programs, though these are negotiated directly with your insurer rather than through a formal partnership program.
