Fleet software alternatives, compared
They built the dashboard.
We built the back office.
Tracking you can get anywhere. The compliance and the filing? That’s us.
Eight competitors. Eight comparisons. Every competitor claim sourced and linked — a named reviewer on G2 or BBB, or the vendor’s own page and contract. Every pricing claim traced to the vendor’s own page or a public benchmark. Click through whichever matches what you’re paying for today.
Dockex vs.
→Fleetio
Fleetio bills per truck. Per its own IFTA help docs, the IFTA tool produces a fuel-data report you still take to the state portal yourself.
Across the public G2 reviews we read, DQ files, IFTA, and IRP don't come up — maintenance software isn't a compliance stack.
Up to $21,312/yr at 75 trucks on Dockex's flat subscription — see the math on /vs/fleetio
Dockex vs.
→J.J. Keller Encompass
J.J. Keller's Encompass platform runs $25.50–$59 per truck per month — $1,150–$2,650/mo at 45 trucks, before quote-only add-ons. Dockex Professional is $349/mo flat ($99–$799 across tiers).
Same §391 + §382 rigor. Modern UX. Bring your own ELD. 15-minute founder onboarding, no hardware bill.
Save ~$9,500/yr at 45 trucks — floor math, before add-ons
Dockex vs.
→Samsara
Samsara tracks. Samsara doesn't file.
Dockex reads Samsara's API read-only. Keep the hardware. Add the compliance + filings layer on top.
Keep your Samsara. Add what it doesn't cover.
Dockex vs.
→Motive
Long-term auto-renew terms, per public BBB complaints. Dockex is month-to-month.
BBB complaints describe Motive auto-renewing without authorization (complaint #24272984, Aug 2025). Dockex: month-to-month, cancel from your billing page.
Month-to-month. Cancel from the billing page.
Dockex vs.
→Verizon Connect
Long-term auto-renew contracts, per public BBB reviews. Dockex cancels from a billing page.
Verizon Connect averages 1/5 stars across 30 BBB reviews (checked 2026-11-01) — auto-renewal and rejected written-notice cancellations recur (Amy P.'s 'month-to-month' showed a 2099 expiration in VC's own docs). Dockex is month-to-month, self-serve cancellation.
Month-to-month, self-serve cancellation
Dockex vs.
→Geotab
Geotab works. Your reseller decides what you see. Dockex publishes everything.
Keep your GO devices + rate plan. Skip the reseller markup. Add the compliance + filings layer.
No rate plan. No reseller. Flat monthly.
Dockex vs.
→Fleet Complete
Their own ELD page tells you that you now have everything you need to easily file your IFTA reports. Second person — you file. In Oklahoma, Dockex files them.
36-month default term, auto-renew unless you give 60 days' notice, and a 5% automatic increase for each year of the previous term. All from their own contract.
Flat, month to month, and the number doesn't move on renewal.
Dockex vs.
→Zonar
Zonar built the first FMCSA-recognized electronic DVIR. IRP, 2290, UCR and registration aren't in their catalog at all.
IFTA stops at a report. No DQ files, no Clearinghouse, no drug & alcohol tracking anywhere in the product or the app marketplace.
Keep Zonar for the walkaround. We do the paperwork after it passes.
Seven of the eight won’t file your IFTA return.
The eighth sells it as a separate product.
Samsara, Motive, Geotab, Fleetio, Verizon Connect, Fleet Complete and Zonar all stop at a report. Motive markets “IFTA reporting”; Fleetio’s tool ends at a fuel-data export; Verizon Connect routes filing to partners; Fleet Complete’s own page tells you that you now have everything you need to file it yourself. Useful work — and then somebody at your company still has to key the numbers into a state portal and sign it.
J.J. Keller does file, through Vehicle Tax & Licensing Service — a separate SKU, sold apart from Encompass.
Dockex prepares your return everywhere and files it for you in Oklahoma, under an authorization you sign, at a flat per-service fee — or you file it yourself for $0 and we just do the math. 2290, UCR and MCS-150 we file for you nationwide.
