About WEX
The WEX Fleet Card is the most widely accepted fleet card in the United States, working at roughly 95 percent of fuel stations plus tens of thousands of service locations. Its strengths are universal acceptance, detailed purchase controls with driver IDs, automatic accounting data on every transaction, tax exemption reporting and access to the WEX EDGE savings network that also discounts tires, hotels and other business costs.
About Fuelman
Fuelman is unusual in selling its cards with subscription plans (Basic, Pro and Enterprise) that bundle features such as real-time fraud alerts, annual loyalty bonuses, 24/7 roadside assistance and priority support. It offers Mixed Fleet and Diesel Fleet cards with rebates at over 40,000 Discount Network stations, plus a Fuelman Mastercard usable anywhere Mastercard is accepted at lower savings.
WEX and Fuelman pricing
WEX pricing is quote-driven, with independent reviews commonly reporting around $4 per card per month for the core Fleet Card. Rebates run 3 to 15 cents per gallon inside the WEX EDGE savings network and 1 to 3 cents elsewhere, with the top rates tied to fueling location and monthly volume; the truck-stop oriented Fleet Cross Roads card averages around 15 cents in-network. Fuelman savings run roughly 3 to 12 cents per gallon inside its Discount Network depending on card and plan, with the anywhere-accepted Mastercard earning less; the subscription plans add a monthly cost per card that varies by tier. The calculator applies each card's discount to your monthly gallons, subtracts card fees, and compares net savings and effective price per gallon at the current diesel price.
How they compare
WEX's core strength is acceptance breadth: its discounts are modest outside the EDGE network, but the card works nearly everywhere, so its savings are dependable rather than spectacular. Fuelman's plan-based model bundles extras like roadside assistance into the card cost, and its value depends on how much fueling you can keep inside its 40,000-station Discount Network. The honest comparison is a blended one: estimate what share of your gallons would actually earn each card's in-network rate on your real routes, set the discounts accordingly, and let the annual difference decide.
