How we compare

One flat price for the whole O-licence, not five subscriptions

We collected the published prices and feature lists of the UK fleet compliance tools that operators ask us about most, and put them next to ours. Prices were captured from the vendors' own websites on the date shown and may change; where a vendor only quotes on request we say so.

Cheaper

From £9 a month for 5 vehicles, £29 for 20, £69 for 60 - flat, no per-check or per-driver fees, no 36-month contract, no minimum fleet size.

Quicker

Add a registration or trailer ID and the dates fill in; add a driver and the consent request goes out in their language the same minute.

Better

Drivers read and e-sign their infringement report in Polish, Romanian, Lithuanian, Bulgarian or English on their phone, and the signed PDF lands in your compliance pack.

Stronger

Your O-licence record, vehicles, drivers, inspections, tacho downloads and walkaround checks form one audit trail you can hand to a DVSA examiner or Traffic Commissioner.

What a typical operator pays per month (ex VAT)

Where a competitor sells one module only, the nearest bundle is assembled from its published prices (drivers assumed equal to vehicles, 4.33 weeks per month).

Yes = offered as standard. No = not offered or not found. Partial = limited, paid add-on or via a partner. Not published = we could not find it on public pages.

Where others are stronger today

We are built for 1 to 60 vehicle operators. If you run your own workshop, need DVSA Earned Recognition reporting today, use remote tachograph download hardware, or run a fleet of several hundred vehicles, FleetCheck, r2c or TruTac may be the safer choice for now. Earned Recognition KPIs, remote download partners and a job-sheet loop are on our roadmap.
