Classibus vs Fleetio

Fleetio's maintenance discipline, plus the map and the books.

Fleetio manages maintenance and needs a separate telematics feed for tracking. Classibus does live tracking, fuel, maintenance and accounting natively, one product, one per-vehicle price.

Tracking built in
Live GPS, geofences and trip replay natively, no separate telematics subscription to feed it.
One price
One per-vehicle subscription instead of maintenance software plus a telematics platform.
Books included
Real accounting, chart of accounts, supplier ledger, statements, not a QuickBooks export.

Pick Classibus if
  • • You want tracking AND maintenance AND accounting in one product with one login and one bill.
  • • You don't want to pay for a telematics platform just to feed your maintenance software.
  • • Your fleet runs open-protocol GPS trackers common outside North America.
  • • You want statements and supplier ledgers in the product, not synced to a separate accounting tool.
Stay with Fleetio if
  • • You run a dedicated maintenance shop that lives in work orders and parts inventory all day, Fleetio's shop depth is ahead of ours.
  • • You're already invested in a telematics provider Fleetio integrates with and only need the maintenance layer.

FAQ

Does Fleetio track vehicles live?+

Not by itself, Fleetio consumes location data from telematics providers you pay separately. Classibus includes live tracking natively, so smaller fleets skip an entire subscription.

Is Classibus maintenance as deep as Fleetio's?+

Fleetio's work-order and parts-inventory tooling is deeper, it's their core product. Classibus covers schedules, reminders, visit records and cost roll-ups, which is what most fleets without a dedicated shop actually use.

Can I import my Fleetio history?+

Yes, Fleetio exports CSVs for vehicles, service history and fuel logs, and Classibus ingests them during onboarding.

What does the switch cost?+

Usually less than staying: one Classibus subscription typically replaces both the Fleetio bill and the telematics bill it depends on. Compare your combined spend against our pricing page.
