About Samsara
Samsara is the market-leading enterprise fleet platform, publicly traded and serving tens of thousands of operations across trucking, construction, field services and government. Its strengths are AI-powered dash cameras, real-time operations dashboards, a broad sensor ecosystem (trailers, reefers, equipment) and deep integrations, sold almost always on 36-month contracts.
About Geotab
Geotab is the largest telematics provider in the world by connected vehicles, ranked first in ABI Research's assessments, and sells exclusively through authorized resellers. Its GO device and open platform are known for data depth, an extensive integration marketplace and best-in-class EV fleet tools; the reseller model means service quality and exact pricing vary by partner.
Samsara and Geotab pricing
Samsara quotes per fleet rather than publishing prices; 2026 buyer data and procurement records typically show around $27 to $39 per vehicle per month for core telematics on 36-month terms, with camera licenses extra and hardware commonly $150 to $350 per vehicle when not bundled. Because Geotab sells through resellers, prices vary, but 2026 estimates put base telematics at roughly $10 to $18 per vehicle per month, the lowest entry price among the majors, with the GO device commonly around $100 and richer plans and add-ons raising the monthly figure. The calculator multiplies each side's per-vehicle subscription by your fleet size and contract length, adds upfront hardware, and compares contract totals, which is the only fair way to compare offers with different hardware and term structures.
How they compare
Both companies sell full fleet telematics, so the comparison above is like-for-like: the same vehicles, the same contract length, and each side's typical per-vehicle subscription and hardware. The top two names in enterprise telematics. Geotab leads on connected-vehicle scale, open data and entry price through resellers; Samsara leads on integrated AI video, polish and buying directly from one vendor. Data-driven fleets and EV transitions favor Geotab; video-led safety programs favor Samsara.
