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 Verizon Connect
Verizon Connect is the fleet arm of Verizon, offering GPS tracking (Reveal), integrated video, field service dispatch and compliance tools on the strength of Verizon's cellular network. It suits fleets that value telco-grade infrastructure, OEM integrations and an existing Verizon business relationship, and sells through a consultative, quote-based process.
Samsara and Verizon Connect 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. Verizon Connect does not publish rates; 2026 third-party estimates generally place core tracking around $20 to $40 per vehicle per month, historically on 36-month agreements, though it now advertises more flexible term options. Hardware is typically $130 to $250 per vehicle when itemized. 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. Two enterprise platforms with similar 36-month contract models. Samsara generally rates higher on user experience and pace of AI innovation, while Verizon Connect leans on network reliability, OEM integrations and bundling for existing Verizon business customers. Pricing usually lands in a similar band, so the demo and contract details decide it.
