Fleet management software pricing models and related costs
Understand the common pricing models for fleet management software:
Perpetual license: | You pay an upfront sum for the license in order to own the fleet management tool and use it in perpetuity. This is the more traditional model and is most common with on-premise applications. |
Subscription: | You pay a monthly fee to use the software for a specific amount of time. Subscription-based pricing has gained popularity, thanks to the increased adoption of the cloud-based model. |
Open source license: | Open source licenses are usually free of charge, which reduces your upfront investment. Implementation, integration, and ongoing maintenance, however, can be major expenses. |
Watch out for these often overlooked costs:
Data migration: While this can be done in-house, you might want to pay the vendor to transfer your existing software data to the new system.
Training: Web-based training is often included in your plan, but vendors might charge for in-person training.
Hardware and IT: This could be a major expense for on-premise software buyers who need their own servers.
Maintenance and upgrades: Some vendors charge for updates, patches, upgrades, and other maintenance activities.
