Last reviewed Mar 13, 2026A complete breakdown of One Step GPS pricing including all three plans, hardware costs, and how total cost of ownership compares to competitors. No surprises.
One Step GPS uses ~$13.95/vehicle/mo (no contract) pricing. Starting price: Real-time tracking, geofencing, alerts, trip history, driver reports
Buyers usually get better pricing clarity when they check three things early: what drives the bill upward, what parts of implementation are treated as separate services, and whether any reporting, automation, or support expectations sit outside the plan that looks cheapest at first glance.
One Step GPS costs $14-$20 per vehicle per month across three plans. All plans are month-to-month with no contracts. Hardware is a one-time purchase of $20-$50 per device. No activation fees, no installation fees, and no cancellation fees. It is the cheapest GPS fleet tracking solution on the market.
One Step GPS has one of the simplest and most transparent pricing structures in fleet tracking. Here is what a fleet of 25 vehicles actually costs over the first year: Sources: Pricing data verified from One Step GPS official website and cross-referenced with user reports on G2 and Capterra, March 2026. One Step GPS is refreshingly transparent. There are no activation fees, no installation fees, no cancellation fees, and no overage charges. The only additional cost is hardware replacement if a device is lost or damaged ($20-$50). Cellular data is included in the monthly subscription — you will not see a separate line item for connectivity, which some competitors charge separately.
Provider | Monthly/Vehicle | Contract | Hardware | Year 1 (25 vehicles)
One Step GPS | $14-$20 | None | $20-$50 | $4,950-$6,750
GPS Trackit | $18-$25 | 1-3 years | $0 (leased) | $5,400-$7,500
Azuga | $20-$30 | 1-2 years | $0 (included) | $6,000-$9,000
Verizon Connect | $23.50-$40 | 3 years typical | $0 (leased) | $7,050-$12,000
Yes, if GPS tracking is all you need. One Step GPS offers the best price-to-value ratio for basic GPS fleet tracking. You are paying for reliable location data at industry-low prices with zero commitment. No, if you need a fleet management platform. If your requirements include cameras, ELD, maintenance, driver safety, or advanced reporting, One Step GPS will not work — regardless of price. You will eventually switch to a more complete solution and pay migration costs. Basic plan at $14/mo. You likely do not need faster update intervals or extended history. Standard plan at $17/mo. The 30-second updates and 1-year history are worth $3 extra per vehicle. Premium plan at $20/mo. API access and priority support become important at this scale. Consider competitors with volume discounts and enterprise features. One Step GPS may lack the reporting depth you need.
| Plan | Pricing summary |
|---|---|
GPS tracking subscription | Real-time tracking, geofencing, alerts, trip history, driver reports |
OBD-II tracker (with plan) | Plug-and-play device; free with subscription commitment on select models |
Hardwired tracker | Permanent install option for vehicles without OBD-II ports or for covert tracking |
Asset tracker | Battery-powered GPS for trailers, equipment, and non-powered assets |
Professional installation | Optional; most users self-install OBD-II devices in under 5 minutes |

Implementation help, premium support, services, and data migration work can materially change the real commercial picture even when the base plan looks competitive.
Ask how the vendor expects cost to change once more teams, more assets, or more automation requirements enter the picture. Pricing that looks clean in pilot scope can behave differently at operating scale.
Quick answers to the questions buyers usually ask once the category, software, or rollout details start getting more specific.
The Basic plan at $14 per vehicle per month is the cheapest option. It includes real-time tracking with 60-second updates, 90-day history, basic geofences, speed alerts, and the mobile app. There are no hidden fees or setup charges.
One Step GPS does not publicly advertise volume discounts. However, for fleets of 50+ vehicles, contacting their sales team may yield better per-vehicle pricing. The listed prices of $14-$20/vehicle are already the lowest in the market, so discount margins are typically small.
No. One Step GPS charges zero activation fees, zero setup fees, and zero installation fees. The only upfront cost is the hardware device ($20-$50 per vehicle), which you install yourself by plugging it into your vehicle’s OBD-II port.
You can cancel at any time with no cancellation fees or penalties. Since there are no contracts, your service simply stops at the end of your current billing period. You own the hardware devices outright, though they will not function without an active subscription.
No. Cellular data is included in the monthly subscription price. Unlike some competitors who charge a separate connectivity fee of $3-$5/month per device, One Step GPS bundles this into the plan cost. What you see is what you pay.
The hardware is a one-time purchase — you own it outright. This differs from competitors like Verizon Connect and GPS Trackit who lease hardware as part of a contract. Owning the hardware means there is no equipment return hassle if you cancel.
Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade between Basic ($14), Standard ($17), and Premium ($20) plans at any time. Changes take effect on your next billing cycle. There are no fees for changing plans.
One Step GPS is significantly cheaper. At $14/vehicle/month vs Verizon Connect’s $23.50-$40/vehicle/month, you save $9.50-$26 per vehicle per month. For a 25-vehicle fleet, that is $2,850-$7,800 per year in savings. However, Verizon Connect includes dash cams, ELD, maintenance, and advanced features that One Step GPS does not offer.
One Step GPS offers a 14-day free trial so you can test the service before paying. Since there are no contracts and you can cancel anytime, there is minimal financial risk. If you are not satisfied after the trial, simply cancel before the first billing cycle.
For a 50-vehicle fleet on the Standard plan ($17/vehicle/month): hardware costs approximately $1,500 (one-time), and 3 years of subscriptions cost $30,600 (50 x $17 x 36 months). The 3-year total is approximately $32,100. Compare this to competitors like Verizon Connect where a similar fleet could cost $42,000-$72,000 over the same period.
One Step GPS includes a standard warranty on hardware devices. If a device fails under normal use, they will replace it. Replacement devices cost $20-$50 if the warranty does not apply (such as physical damage or loss). Check with One Step GPS directly for current warranty terms and duration.
