Fleetio vs Simply Fleet

Fleetio is a cloud-based fleet management platform for tracking vehicles, coordinating maintenance and managing fleet operations. It stores vehicle details, license and registration reminders, warranty and telematics information, documents and notes. Preventive-maintenance reminders can use mileage, hours or time intervals, while digital work orders track labor, parts and progress. Customizable inspections support offline use, photos, comments, alerts and automated workflows. Automations can create or update work orders, change asset status, notify approvers and add comments or email teammates. Fleetio connects with telematics, GPS, fuel cards, tire monitoring, tolls, citations and accounting systems including QuickBooks Online, Sage, Xero, NetSuite and SAP. Its public REST API has more than 130 endpoints for resources such as vehicles, meter entries and fuel entries. Fleetio Go is available on iOS and Android, requiring iOS 16 or later and Android 10 or later. The 14-day trial requires no credit card and includes all features; continuing afterward requires payment information or invoicing. The Tools Add-on starts at an average of $0.50 per piece per month and is not sold separately.

Simply Fleet brings vehicle, driver, fuel, expense, compliance, maintenance, inspection and work-order management into one system. It runs on the web and has Android and iOS apps. A failed mobile inspection can automatically create a work order, keeping the inspection and service history together. AI tools can scan receipts and invoices, turn voice updates into structured information, recommend maintenance schedules and answer questions about fleet data. The integrations page lists telematics providers including Motive, Verizon Connect, Samsara and Geotab, as well as WEX fuel cards; those connections cost $0.50 per vehicle per month as optional add-ons. The free plan covers five vehicles and three users, with six months of data storage and ten one-time AI credits. Essential and Advanced require at least five vehicles and are listed at $3.00 and $5.00 per vehicle per month, respectively. The company describes its intended customers as fleets with roughly 50 to 500+ assets, often across locations and with workshops or compliance obligations. Its privacy policy says the app may collect precise device location during logged fill-ups or trips.
