About Lytx
Lytx is the global leader in video safety and video telematics. Its DriveCam program pairs AI dash cameras with managed driver coaching workflows and risk detection, and it is the safety layer of choice for many trucking, waste and distribution fleets. Lytx focuses on video-first safety rather than being a general fleet management suite, and integrates with platforms such as Geotab and Fleetio.
About Fleetio
Fleetio is fleet maintenance management software rather than a telematics system: it handles service schedules, work orders, inspections (DVIRs), parts, fuel logs and asset records, with unlimited users on every plan. It is software-only, pulls location and odometer data from telematics providers such as Samsara and Geotab via integrations, and offers flexible terms including monthly rolling contracts.
Lytx and Fleetio pricing
Lytx is quote-based and does not publish prices; buyer reports place typical programs in the range of roughly $30 to $60 per vehicle per month depending on camera hardware, AI features and coaching services, with camera hardware around $200 to $400 per vehicle when itemized. The defaults below reflect a mid-range program. Fleetio publishes its prices: in 2026 the Essential plan is about $4 per vehicle per month billed annually ($5 monthly), Professional $7 and Premium $10, with a 5-vehicle minimum and no hardware to buy. That makes it far cheaper than telematics platforms, because it solves a different problem. 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
These products do different jobs (video safety versus maintenance management) and are often used together in the same fleet stack, so read the numbers as budgeting rather than either-or. The two ends of a fleet stack: Lytx handles video safety and driver coaching, Fleetio handles maintenance and inspections, and neither does the other's job. Run the numbers as a budgeting exercise for a best-of-breed setup alongside whatever telematics platform sits underneath.
