Pick Classibus if
  • • You want to start the day you sign up, no 30-day procurement cycle and no 50-page MSA.
  • • You want all-in-one accounting in the same login.
  • • You'd rather scale your subscription as your fleet grows than lock into a multi-year commitment.
  • • You want to keep the trackers you already own.
Stay with Samsara if
  • • You operate in the US and need FMCSA / DOT ELD compliance. Samsara is registered, Classibus is not.
  • • Dashcam-based video telematics is a hard requirement. Classibus doesn't offer that yet.
  • • You want a single vendor for hardware, video, telematics and support.

Does Classibus include dashcams?+

Not today. Our scope is GPS, fuel, maintenance, driver scoring and accounting. Video telematics is on the roadmap but not shipped.

Can I integrate Classibus with my existing tools?+

Yes. API access and webhooks are included from the Growth tier upward, with higher rate limits at Business. Custom integrations come with Enterprise.

How fast can I onboard?+
