One Step GPS pricing with no contract
One Step GPS pricing is published and it is the lowest on this site: $13.95 per vehicle per month for GPS tracking and $20.95 per vehicle per month with ELD. Both are month-to-month with no contract and no device cost.
Verified on its own pricing page on 30 September 2026.
There is no annual commitment to discount and no volume tier to negotiate, which is unusual here and cuts both ways. You cannot bargain the rate down, and you also cannot be locked into a four-year term by a quote you signed quickly.
Two things are not on the rate card and both matter. A one-time activation fee of $20 per device plus first and last month's subscription makes day one $47.90 per vehicle on tracking.
And the hardware is loaned rather than sold, so leaving has a price.
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 17, 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.
One Step GPS pricing
Work out the real entry cost, because the published rate omits it. The one-time activation fee is $20 per GPS or ELD device, and the vendor takes first and last month's subscription upfront.
On tracking that is $20 plus two months at $13.95, or $47.90 per vehicle before the service begins. Across 40 vehicles that is $1,916 of day-one cost against a $558 monthly run rate.
It is still cheap: Verizon Connect's published government card charges $106.80 per vehicle for professional installation alone, and Zonar's school district contract bills the device at $135 per vehicle plus roughly $278 per vehicle to install.
The month-to-month default is the product's real feature and the right way to value it. Across GPS fleet tracking, the published commitments run from this to Azuga's four-year default initial term where the Order is silent, Spireon's three years per solution, Fleet Complete's 36-month default with a 5% annual escalator, and RAM Tracking's lease described in its own document as a non-cancelable, binding contract.
On BasicFleet at $25, Azuga's default term is a $1,200 per-vehicle commitment. One Step GPS's equivalent is one month at $13.95.
Read one qualifier though: the terms say month-to-month applies by default unless an order form specifies otherwise, so check your own order form rather than the marketing.
Leaving is where the loaned hardware shows up, and the charges are at least fixed and published. Equipment not returned within 30 days of notifying support of the intent to cancel, or returned damaged, is charged at $95 per GPS tracker and $190 per dash camera, billed to the payment method on file.
Across 40 trackers that is a $3,800 exposure if nobody collects the units. Compare the alternatives: Spireon bills current fair market value, which has no ceiling, and Quartix's rented equipment keeps billing monthly until all products are returned.
A stated figure you can plan for is the better of those three positions.
Two included items are worth counting because competitors charge for them. Route and stop history is retained for up to three years at no extra charge, where Quartix puts longer retention behind its $15.00 tier and Onfleet's history runs from 90 days on its entry plan to lifetime only on Enterprise.
And the 100-day money-back guarantee with prepaid return shipping is longer than any trial in this category, where 7 to 14 days is normal. A hundred days covers a seasonal cycle, which is what it takes to evaluate a tracking deployment properly.
GPS Tracking
$13.95 per vehicle per month
Real-time tracking, geofencing, speed alerts, trip history and driver behaviour monitoring, with route and stop history retained for up to three years at no extra charge.
GPS Tracking + ELD
$20.95 per vehicle per month
Adds hours-of-service logging for drivers subject to the ELD mandate. Sold as an addition to standard tracking rather than a separate product.
Pricing source: official pricing page, verified 2026-09-30. One Step GPS publishes its rate on its own pricing page: "$13.95/month, no contracts", stated repeatedly as the headline offering. No quote is required to see it.
What One Step GPS charges upfront
Budget $47.90 per vehicle on day one for tracking, or $60.90 with ELD, and the monthly rate thereafter. Those are the numbers to put in a comparison against bundled quotes, because a vendor charging $25 per vehicle per month with free installation and a three-year term is a different financial shape even when the first invoice looks similar.
Use the 100 days properly. It is long enough to run a real test rather than a demo: fit the devices on your hardest vehicles, check signal coverage on your worst routes, and see whether anyone opens the reports after week three.
Our telematics device install checklist covers what to confirm per vehicle type before fitting.
Set up a device register before the first unit arrives, because the hardware is loaned and the return window is 30 days from the moment you give notice. Record which device sits in which vehicle in a fleet asset register, and keep it current as vehicles are sold.
The $95 and $190 charges only bite on units nobody can find. Then model the whole thing, including activation and exit, in a total cost of ownership worksheet before comparing against a quote-only vendor such as Samsara.

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 |
Leaving One Step GPS
Budget the day-one figure
A $20 activation fee per device plus first and last month's subscription makes tracking $47.90 per vehicle to start and ELD $60.90. Use those figures in a comparison, not the monthly rate on its own.
Check your order form for a term
Month-to-month applies by default unless an order form specifies otherwise, and fees are described as non-cancellable and non-refundable. Read the order form rather than the no-contract marketing before you sign it.
Plan the 30-day return
The return window runs 30 days from when you notify support of intent to cancel, and missing it costs $95 per tracker or $190 per dash camera. Keep a device-to-vehicle register current from the first installation.
Use the full 100 days
The guarantee is 100 days with prepaid return shipping, far longer than the 7 to 14-day trials common here. Test coverage on your worst routes and check whether anyone still opens the reports in week twelve.
Count the three-year retention
Route and stop history is kept up to three years at no extra charge, where competitors tier retention. If you ever defend a delivery dispute or an insurance claim months later, that inclusion is worth real money.
Accept that the rate is the rate
There is no annual commitment to discount and no volume tier to negotiate. Spend the effort on configuration and the return process instead, because there is nothing to win on price.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the questions buyers usually ask once the category, software, or rollout details start getting more specific.
How much is One Step GPS?
Two published rates: $13.95 per vehicle per month for GPS tracking and $20.95 with ELD, both month-to-month with no contract. Verified on One Step GPS's own pricing page on 30 September 2026. That $13.95 is the lowest published per-vehicle rate on this site.
Is the no-contract claim accurate?
Month-to-month is the default. Its terms state the agreement begins when the customer places its order, with month-to-month terms by default unless an order form specifies otherwise, and that fees are non-cancellable and non-refundable except as the agreement sets out. Check whether your order form specifies anything different.
What does it cost to start?
More than the monthly rate suggests. There is a one-time activation fee of $20 per GPS or ELD device, plus first and last month's subscription. On tracking, day one is therefore $47.90 per vehicle: $20 activation plus two months at $13.95. Budget that rather than the headline figure.
Does One Step GPS charge for hardware?
No, because it does not sell it. The device is loaned, which is why it has to go back when you cancel. That removes a real upfront cost: Verizon Connect's published government card charges $106.80 per vehicle for professional installation, and Linxup lists a $69 one-time tracker.
What happens if you do not return the device?
A fixed charge, which is better than an open-ended one. It is $95 per GPS tracker and $190 per dash camera if equipment is not returned within 30 days of notifying support of the intent to cancel, or if it is returned damaged. Those figures are published, unlike Spireon's fair market value approach.
Is there a free trial?
Not a trial, a guarantee: 100 days, no questions asked, with return shipping prepaid by the vendor. A hundred days is long enough to cover a full seasonal cycle for most operations, which makes it more useful than the 7 to 14-day trials common elsewhere in this category.
How long is data kept?
Route and stop history is retained for up to three years at no extra charge, per the published plan description. Retention is usually a paid upgrade: Quartix puts longer retention behind its $15.00 Info Plus tier, and Onfleet's reporting history runs from 90 days on its entry plan to lifetime on Enterprise.
Is One Step GPS cheaper than Quartix?
By five cents, and the difference that matters is structural. Quartix publishes $14.00 with installation included but asks for a minimum period of 12 to 36 months you cannot cancel during. One Step GPS is month-to-month with loaned hardware and a $20 activation fee per device.
Can you legally put a tracker on a vehicle?
On a company-owned vehicle, telematics is normal practice and the obligation is a documented policy: what is collected, who sees it, how long it is kept. Rules differ by jurisdiction and for personal vehicles, so take local advice rather than treating a vendor's sales material as a legal position.
