RAM Tracking Review — Read "Lease" Literally Before You Sign

Remote Asset Management Limited

RAM Tracking publishes real prices for its entry tiers — $14.99/vehicle/month for basic GPS, $28.

99 for a dashcam add-on, and three clearly-priced job-management tiers — which is more transparency than most vendors in this category show at all.

The word 'lease' in its Terms of Service is not marketing language. RAM Tracking's standard contract is structured as an equipment lease arranged with a third-party finance company, and its Lease Agreement Terms describe the contract as 'non-cancelable' with a 26.

82% annual interest rate on late payments. Read the actual contract type before comparing this to a normal software subscription.

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.

How we evaluated this page

This page is built to help buyers evaluate RAM Tracking as a product, not just absorb the vendor's positioning.

  • We focus on the details that shape fit after rollout starts: pricing behavior, deployment model, administrative burden, and where RAM Tracking is or is not a strong operational match.
  • Each profile is tied to named editorial ownership and reviewed-date signals so readers can judge recency, accountability, and how current the evaluation is.
  • Use this page to test whether RAM Tracking fits your environment before demos, pricing calls, or rollout assumptions start driving the purchase decision.

RAM Tracking pricing at a glance

RAM Tracking publishes more real pricing than most vendors profiled in this category. Lite GPS tracking starts at $14.

99/vehicle/month; Core and Plus tiers are quote-only ('Contact us for pricing'). The SD dashcam is $28.

99/vehicle/month published; the Live Alert and Live Vision dashcam tiers are quote-only. All three Klipboard job-management tiers are fully published: Starter $32.

99, Innovator $45.99, and Professional $65.

99, per user per month.

Three bundles are also published outright, each on a 36-month term: Essential Fleet at $24.99/unit/month (GPS tracking plus SD dashcam), Advanced Fleet at $72.

34/unit/month (fuller GPS plus RAM Live connected dashcam), and Fleet & Field Master at $105.27/unit/month (adds RAM Job Management Professional, on a separate 24-month term for that component).

Worth noting directly: the Essential Fleet bundle at $24.99/unit/month is cheaper than the standalone SD dashcam alone at $28.

99/vehicle/month — buying the bundle can cost less than buying one of its pieces separately.

"Lease," used precisely, not as marketing language

RAM Tracking's standard Terms of Service state the arrangement directly: 'RAM has agreed... to lease to the Customer...

a vehicle-mounted satellite tracking and data transfer unit,' with financing arranged through a named 'Finance Company' — a separate bank or lender RAM has a standing arrangement with, not RAM itself. A separate Lease Agreement Terms document, specific to the hardware financing, describes itself in its own opening line as 'a non-cancelable, binding contract' and states plainly: 'You may not cancel this Lease for any reason, including but not limited to, Equipment failure, loss or damage, or any deficiency or issue with respect to the Equipment or Service.

This is a materially different commitment than a SaaS subscription you can downgrade or cancel with notice. Ask directly, in writing, whether the specific plan you're buying is billed as a lease (with a third-party finance company as a party to the contract) or as a straightforward month-to-month service, because the published $14.

99 entry price does not tell you which one applies.

What the lease actually costs if something goes wrong

The Lease Agreement Terms set the late-payment interest rate at 26.82% per annum, compounded monthly, plus a $75 charge for any dishonored payment and a $150 initial administration fee.

If the leased hardware is lost, stolen, or damaged beyond repair, the Terms require payments to continue 'until a complete and full resolution... is received by the Lessor from the insurer and/or you' — meaning the bill doesn't stop just because the device is gone.

The lease term renews automatically for successive twelve-month periods unless canceled with at least three months' written notice, and only at specific anniversary windows — not at any time you choose. At the end of the full term, if the equipment isn't returned or a purchase option exercised, the lease 'shall automatically renew on a period-to-period basis' rather than simply ending.

One notable detail: the lease terms reference Canadian provincial law

The Lease Agreement Terms published at RAM Tracking's own /us/ URL reference Canadian provincial statutes by name — the Limitations of Civil Rights Act (Saskatchewan), the Distress Act (Manitoba), the Judicature Act (Alberta) — and set the default governing jurisdiction as the Province of Ontario. RAM Tracking is a UK-headquartered company with Canadian and US operations; this reads like a shared lease template used across markets rather than a document written specifically for US customers.

Ask directly which jurisdiction's law actually governs your specific agreement before you sign.

Where RAM Tracking fits

RAM Tracking is an established, FMCSA-registered GPS and ELD provider — 23,000+ businesses, per its own materials — that is unusually transparent about entry-level pricing and unusually opaque about what kind of contract you're actually signing. The base plans are billed like software. The bundled multi-year plans, and by the Terms of Service's own language the standard contract more broadly, are structured as an equipment lease with a separate finance company, a non-cancelable term, and a 26.82% annual default interest rate. Confirm in writing whether your specific plan is a lease or a subscription before you sign, because the two carry very different exit costs.

RAM Tracking is best for

RAM Tracking fits a fleet that wants transparent entry-level GPS and dashcam pricing and is comfortable confirming, in writing, exactly what kind of contract a specific plan involves before signing — especially the bundled multi-year plans. It fits poorly for a buyer who assumes 'GPS tracking subscription' means the same cancellation flexibility as ordinary SaaS billing, or who wants to avoid a third-party finance company being a party to their equipment contract.

Why RAM Tracking stands out

Published pricing on five of its plans (Lite GPS, SD dashcam, and all three Klipboard job-management tiers) plus all three of its bundles is more transparency than most vendors in this category offer at all — most quote-gate everything. RAM Tracking's ELD marketing language is also unusually precise: it describes its device as 'fully self-certified and listed on the official FMCSA ELD registry,' which is the technically accurate description of what FMCSA registration actually is, rather than the imprecise 'FMCSA approved' or 'FMCSA certified' language most competitors in this profile set use.

Commercial fit for RAM Tracking

Evaluate the contract type before the feature list. A month-to-month service and a non-cancelable multi-year equipment lease with a third-party finance company are different financial commitments even at the same monthly price, and RAM Tracking's own materials show both exist somewhere in its plan lineup. Get written confirmation of which one applies to your specific plan, the exact minimum term, the cancellation notice window, and what happens to your payments if the hardware is lost or damaged before you sign anything.

RAM Tracking pros and cons

This is the point in the evaluation where buyers should separate what sounds strong in the demo from what will still matter after implementation, reporting setup, and day-two administration are real.

Where it earns attention

These are the strengths most likely to keep RAM Tracking in the running once the team starts comparing practical fit, not just headline features.

Strength

More published pricing than most vendors in this category

Lite GPS tracking ($14.99/vehicle/month), the SD dashcam ($28.99), all three Klipboard job-management tiers ($32.99-$65.99/user/month), and all three bundles ($24.99-$105.27/unit/month) are published outright with no quote form required — a meaningfully more transparent starting point than the fully quote-gated pricing pages most competitors here use.

Strength

Accurate, careful FMCSA language

RAM Tracking describes its ELD as 'fully self-certified and listed on the official FMCSA ELD registry' — the technically correct description, since FMCSA does not certify or approve ELDs. That precision is unusual; most competitor pages in this category use imprecise 'FMCSA approved' or 'FMCSA certified' language instead.

Strength

The Essential Fleet bundle can cost less than one of its own components

At $24.99/unit/month for GPS tracking plus an SD dashcam, the bundle is cheaper than the standalone SD dashcam add-on alone ($28.99/vehicle/month) — a genuine case where the bundled price beats buying the piece separately, worth checking against your actual needs before defaulting to an à la carte quote.

Strength

An established, sizable customer base with a long operating history

RAM Tracking states it has been tracking commercial vehicles since before the ELD mandate existed, and cites 23,000+ businesses as customers — a scale and tenure that suggests the core GPS product is a mature, working system rather than a recent entrant.

Where to verify harder

These are the points worth pressing in pricing calls, technical validation, and rollout planning before the team treats the product as a safe choice.

Verify

The default contract may be a non-cancelable equipment lease, not a subscription

RAM Tracking's standard Terms of Service describe the arrangement as RAM leasing the hardware to the customer, financed through a separate third-party 'Finance Company.' A related Lease Agreement Terms document states outright, in its opening section, that it is 'a non-cancelable, binding contract' and that the customer 'may not cancel this Lease for any reason.' Confirm in writing whether your specific plan is structured this way before assuming it works like ordinary monthly software billing.

Verify

A 26.82% annual interest rate on late lease payments

The Lease Agreement Terms set interest on overdue amounts at 26.82% per annum, compounded monthly, plus a $75 charge for each dishonored payment and a $150 initial administration fee — figures that only appear in the lease document, not on any pricing page.

Verify

You keep paying even if the hardware is lost, stolen, or destroyed

Under the Lease Agreement Terms, if leased equipment is lost, stolen, or damaged beyond repair, the customer must 'continue to pay the Payments for the Term until a complete and full resolution... is received by the Lessor from the insurer and/or you' — the obligation to pay doesn't stop when the device does.

Verify

Core and Plus GPS tiers, and two of three dashcam tiers, are quote-only

Only the entry Lite GPS tier and the entry SD dashcam tier have a published price. Core, Plus, Live Alert and Live Vision — the tiers most fleets with driver-behavior monitoring or incident-alert needs will actually want — all route to a quote form, so the published $14.99 headline doesn't represent what a typical mid-tier deployment costs.

Verify

No BBB listing found

A direct BBB search for 'RAM Tracking' returns zero results, so there's no independent complaint-pattern record to check against the lease terms above the way there is for some other vendors in this category.

RAM Tracking platform and deployment

The full product line

Vehicle Tracking: Lite (2-minute updates, desktop only, 3-month reporting history, manual mileage), Core (1-minute updates, driver behavior monitoring, 3-year reporting history, automatic mileage), and Plus (adds the full RAM Assist driver app, vehicle checks, clock on/off, breakdown and accident reporting). Dash Cams: SD (forward-facing, 32GB/~4hr storage, manual SD retrieval), Live Alert (dual cameras, 256GB/~60hr cloud storage, instant notifications, First Notification of Loss), and Live Vision (adds live streaming, remote footage download, and an AI add-on detecting phone use, smoking, drowsiness, distraction and driver absence).

Job Management (Klipboard): Starter, Innovator (adds Xero/QuickBooks/Stripe integration), and Professional (adds custom forms, asset management, PPM scheduling, inventory).

RAM Tracking's ELD is a separate registered device (identifier RAMELD, hardware model shared with other 'Apollo Mini' family devices from the same underlying OEM), positioned as a dual US-Canada compliance solution — 'complies with both FMCSA regulations and Canadian ELD requirements,' per RAM's own materials.

What the ELD-specific app rating suggests

RAM Tracking, LLC (operating as Remote Asset Management Limited) publishes several apps: the core RAM Tracking driver app holds 4.44 out of 5 across 80 App Store ratings.

A separate 'RAM Tracking ELD' app exists in the App Store with zero ratings recorded — worth confirming directly with RAM which app your ELD deployment actually uses before assuming the 4.44 rating applies to the compliance product specifically.

Evaluating RAM Tracking before a demo

The published entry price is real, but it may not describe the contract type you're actually being offered. Confirm these before signing.

1

Ask directly whether your specific plan is a month-to-month service or an equipment lease involving a third-party finance company — RAM Tracking's own Terms of Service describe both structures existing somewhere in its lineup.

2

If it's a lease, get the exact minimum term, the cancellation notice window (three months, at specific anniversaries only, per the Lease Agreement Terms), and the early-exit cost in writing.

3

Ask what happens to your payment obligation if the hardware is lost, stolen or damaged — the Lease Agreement Terms require continued payment until a full insurance resolution.

4

Get the Core, Plus, Live Alert or Live Vision price in writing if you need those tiers — only the entry Lite and SD tiers are published.

Frequently asked questions about RAM Tracking

Quick answers to the questions buyers usually ask once the category, software, or rollout details start getting more specific.

A

The Lite GPS tracking tier starts at $14.99/vehicle/month, and the SD dashcam add-on is $28.99/vehicle/month — both published directly. Core and Plus GPS tiers, and the Live Alert and Live Vision dashcam tiers, are quote-only. Three bundles are also published: Essential Fleet at $24.99/unit/month, Advanced Fleet at $72.34/unit/month, and Fleet & Field Master at $105.27/unit/month, each on a 36-month term.

A

It can be either, and the difference matters. RAM Tracking's standard Terms of Service describe the hardware as leased through a separate third-party finance company, and a related Lease Agreement Terms document calls itself 'a non-cancelable, binding contract' that the customer 'may not cancel... for any reason.' Confirm directly, in writing, which structure applies to your specific plan before signing.

A

Per the Lease Agreement Terms, you must continue making lease payments 'until a complete and full resolution... is received by the Lessor from the insurer and/or you' — the payment obligation continues even after the device itself is gone, until the insurance claim fully resolves.

A

Yes. RAM Tracking describes its device as 'fully self-certified and listed on the official FMCSA ELD registry' — accurate language, since FMCSA doesn't certify or approve ELDs, only registers self-certified devices. It's also built to meet Canadian ELD requirements for cross-border fleets.

A

Per the Lease Agreement Terms, the lease auto-renews for successive twelve-month periods unless canceled with at least three months' written notice, and only at specific anniversary dates tied to the original contract start — not at any time of your choosing.
