## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-26 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> One thing worth flagging up front: "fleet management software" for a delivery firm really covers two different jobs, and most vendors are strong at only one. **Telematics** (GPS, dash cams, ELD/hours-of-service, maintenance) is a different product category from **dispatch/routing** (planning stops, driver app, customer ETAs, proof of delivery). Most delivery operations end up buying one of each. Here's who I'd actually name for both.
> 
> ## Telematics / vehicle side
> 
> **1. Samsara** - the default pick if you have 25+ vehicles and want one vendor for GPS, AI dash cams, ELD compliance, and maintenance. Best-in-class hardware and the cleanest driver-safety product. Expect roughly $27-33/vehicle/month, but the catch is the standard **36-month contract** with hardware priced separately - negotiate hard and don't sign before you've piloted.
> 
> **2. Motive** - the one I'd recommend for small and mid-size fleets specifically, because it offers month-to-month on base plans and a 12-month minimum rather than Samsara's three-year lock-in. Feature parity is close enough for most delivery work at $25-50/vehicle/month, and the escape hatch is worth real money if you're still figuring out what you need
