How pricing works
- Motive: quote request on its pricing page.
- Samsara: quote request on its pricing page.
- Ask both for monthly price per truck, hardware cost, contract length and early-cancellation fees, all in writing.
Who each one fits
Both are built for fleets that want dash cams, safety scoring, maintenance and enterprise reporting from one vendor. If you run 1–50 trucks and mainly need logs, IFTA and broker tracking, you may be paying for features you won't use.
