While Motive offers compliance tracking tools, it’s reported to be an inflexible system that offers limited customization and lacks the ELD innovation that Samsara offers. Customers like Salisbury Trucking switched from Motive due to its rigid system, which penalized drivers with HOS clocks starting too early and lacked customization for daily inspections. Samsara specifically provided Salisbury with a custom ELD solution that significantly improved their CSA scores and adapted to their established workflows.

Based on aggregated data, the 2025 Samsara Safety Report revealed that Samsara customers see better CSA scores. Comparing fleet performance prior to deploying Samsara, Samsara analyzed how customers’ publicly available BASIC scores changed from the 30 months prior to Samsara to the 30 months post-adoption. In aggregate, improving customers see:

• 43% improvement in Unsafe Driving score

Samsara provides GPS fleet tracking that collects location data every second across vehicles, assets, and equipment. 

• Real-time visibility: Samsara’s GPS collects location data every second, providing fleets with continuous, real-time visibility via the Samsara dashboard. Fleet managers can see where vehicles, trailers, and pieces of equipment are located in real time, enabling faster, data-driven decisions and better communication.

• Route optimization: Integrated route planning and real-time traffic overlays let fleets adjust to changing conditions (congestion, weather) as they happen. Dispatchers use current vehicle location plus driver status to assign or reroute jobs on the fly, reducing mileage, delays, and fuel costs.

• Asset tracking: Protect assets from theft or misplacement with GPS tracking across large and small assets. If a vehicle or asset crosses a set boundary, fleet managers are instantly notified by SMS, app, or email.

• Improve compliance: Samsara’s integrated ELD automates HOS logs in the Driver App using real-time GPS and engine data. Dispatch can see which drivers are approaching shift end and optimize assignments to avoid HOS violations, simplifying audits and reducing CSA risk.

• Superior connectivity: Samsara uses dual-SIM cellular architecture, and has over 20 carrier roaming partners in North America. In addition, Samsara is FirstNet certified, meaning customers can get preferential access during emergencies.

While Motive provides GPS tracking tools, Samsara is significantly more advanced due to its vast data and robust connectivity. Customers noted that they often experienced delayed data and slow refresh with Motive that hindered visibility in the moments that matter most. 

For example, Ace Tree Enterprise was found at fault for an incident because Motive was unable to provide critical data, such as vehicle speed, to the authorities. Upon switching to Samsara, Ace Tree gained reliable, live data for real-time visibility. Samsara’s GPS tracking helped Ace Tree improve efficiency by eliminating wasted time and fuel spent searching for crews. Now, managers and support staff can get precise location information to crews in the field, even in mountainous areas.

Samsara’s Driver App is significantly more comprehensive, interactive, and driver-centric than Motive’s, which offers limited functionality. The Samsara Driver App holds the No. 1 spot in the App Store and Google Play with the highest driver ratings in the industry.

• Samsara’s Driver App is an all-in-one tool that combines coaching, feedback, event review, personalized video training, AI DVIRs, qualifications, commercial turn-by-turn navigation, PPE checks and more—all fully customizable. Drivers are empowered to actively dispute safety events and receive training, coaching, and recognition directly in-app. Drivers can request help if they are hurt or injured via the SOS functionality, and supervisors can request check-ins to ensure drivers are safe.

• G2's Fall 2025 report indicates that 92% of customers find Samsara easier to use, compared to 90% for Motive. 

• Customers like Globe Logistics found the Samsara Driver App to be easier to use than using Motive, leading to fewer issues and increased productivity. Motive's app offers basic safety event alerts and playback, but lacks direct driver feedback workflows and in-app training.

Samsara offers safety coaching tools that enable fleets to take a proactive approach to driver coaching. 

• Most complete view of risk: Samsara’s 30+ AI detections ensure complete risk visibility—across driving behaviors (such as drowsiness, mobile usage, and tailgating), risks around the vehicle (such as blind spots and pedestrians), and contextual risks (such as road conditions, weather, and traffic). This stands apart from other safety solutions, which only flag isolated risky events and miss environmental hazards or patterns.

• World-class coaching, training, and recognition—without extra resources: Samsara’s AI and automation make it possible to run a world-class safety program at scale. AI reviews and prioritizes events based on severity, frequency, trip conditions, and driver history—and automatically sends most feedback directly to drivers. Managers can focus on coaching high-risk drivers and recognizing top performers, with AI-powered insights to help them be world-class coaches. This offers a distinct advantage over other safety solutions that rely on manual event reviews and time-consuming coaching and training workflows that aren’t scalable and can lead to misses.

• An experience that keeps drivers engaged: Safety is built into the Samsara Driver App, alongside other work drivers do each day like navigation and compliance. Coaching is part of a driver’s daily routine; it’s self-paced and the driver stays in control. Our top-rated Driver App keeps drivers engaged with balanced feedback via a combination of coaching and positive recognition—creating sticky habits and behavior change at scale. Our in-cab AI alerts are designed to minimize false positives and alert only on imminent, severe risks to maintain driver trust in the technology. This stands apart from other safety solutions, which spread workflows across multiple apps, provide one-sided feedback with no positive recognition, overwhelm drivers with too many alerts in cab, and make coaching feel tedious or punitive.

While Motive offers a driver coaching tool, Samsara’s powerful AI technology and intuitive workflows make it easier to identify which drivers need hands-on coaching. For example, Motive sends all events to drivers for self-review while Samsara AI intelligently reviews and prioritizes events based on dozens of risk factors. Samsara AI includes not just what the safety event was, but also factors like frequency, severity, road conditions, weather, driver history, and coaching history. This makes it easier for safety teams to focus their time on the fraction of drivers that need support, while everyone else gets consistent, timely, relevant feedback daily. This makes Samsara’s safety coaching capabilities a better option, demonstrating better safety results, efficiency gains, and ROI over time.

Based on aggregated, anonymized data from more than 2.6K Samsara customers, the 2025 Samsara Safety Report revealed how Samsara AI helps reduce crash rates. At 30 months, fleets with 175+ vehicles in aggregate see:

Yes. In binding arbitration, an arbitrator ruled that Motive’s claims of AI dash cam superiority based on the VTTI and Strategy Analytics studies were “literally false” and violated the Lanham Act. 

Motive is now legally required to correct the record by posting a notice of those falsehoods on its website .

Samsara filed a lawsuit against Motive for fraud, false advertising, and unfair business practices. After Motive moved the case to arbitration, the arbitrator ruled in Samsara’s favor and ordered Motive to publish a public notice of its “literally false” statements to correct the record.

Samsara has three other cases pending against Motive:

• First, it has accused Motive of stealing its trade secrets through a concerted effort to steal and exploit Samsara’s sales, business, and product strategies. 

• Second, it has asserted patent infringement claims for patents that Samsara did not assert in the International Trade Commission (ITC). Those claims are pending in federal court in the Northern District of California. 

• Third, it is appealing the ITC’s ruling against Samsara on its narrow request for an import ban.

Samsara believes Motive’s new claims largely appropriate Samsara’s earlier lawsuits, reflecting the same copycat conduct Samsara has alleged Motive used to build its products. Samsara views Motive’s claims as a deliberate distraction intended to shift attention away from Samsara’s original lawsuits and Motive’s own alleged wrongdoing. Those original filings allege that Motive’s top leaders — including its CEO — directed illegal conduct over a period of several years. Ultimately, Samsara is confident it will defeat Motive’s copycat  claims and will continue to stand for fairness, safety, and innovation in the industry.

Samsara presented its claims for breach of contract, fraud, unfair competition, and false advertising to an arbitrator in 2025. On February 3, 2026, the judge overseeing the arbitration found that Motive was liable to Samsara on those claims and awarded Samsara $30.3 million in damages, a permanent injunction, and a mandatory injunction that required Motive to correct its false advertising.

Fleet operators often need documentation of both operational data and vendor support interactions during audits. Samsara supports this in two ways:

• For support case history, all open and resolved tickets are visible in the Samsara dashboard, including ticket ID, subject, status, priority, time open, and full correspondence. This gives customers a complete record of every interaction. 

• For operational compliance documentation, Samsara supports full data exports covering ELD records, driver HOS logs, HOS violations, DVIRs, IFTA reports, Safety Scores, and Driver Documents, all available in CSV via the dashboard or through the API.

In addition, Samsara's Help Center also includes a dedicated audit preparation guide covering FMCSA documentation requirements.

Samsara is flexible when customers' procurement or renewal timelines don't fit the standard contract cycle. Samsara can handle this using future-dated renewals, co-termed amendments, and early contract preparation so the customer’s legal, procurement, and internal approval timelines can be accommodated without contract overlap or double billing.

Samsara offers industry-leading customer support, providing expertise to get customers onboarded and round-the-clock access to knowledgeable in-house support teams. Here are a few examples of organizations using Samsara to get started quickly and transform their fleet operations:

• Salisbury Trucking: Safety Director Chris Reitz stated, "We were on hold with Motive once for hours, and we never did get an answer. That would never happen with Samsara. I could call my guy right now and he would pick up." He also noted, "What impressed me most about Samsara is that they took the time to understand our operations. They didn't just sell us a product; they made specific recommendations tailored to our needs, which showed they truly cared about what we're doing."

• Hogland Transfer Company: Framed their entire Samsara decision around implementation support and partnership quality, with their decision to utilize Samsara rooted in a broader modernization effort where Samsara's ability to deliver critical implementation support alongside real-time data and AI insights was a primary differentiator.

• Lodging Solutions: Special Projects Administrator Savannah Kincaid stated, "Samsara wasn't just a technology upgrade—it was a better partner. The hardware works, the support understands our urgency, and the rollout across thousands of assets was incredibly easy." They specifically cited their previous provider's hardware failures and inability to keep up with the urgency of disaster recovery operations as the reason for switching.

• C Blackburn: Fleet Manager Mike Porter had previously used Samsara, left the platform, and then returned after regretting the switch to Netradyne and Geotab. His decision to come back was based on Samsara's unified platform and the support quality he had experienced previously, replacing three technology providers with one.

• Jordan Carriers: Relied on a dedicated Samsara Implementation Consultant for support during their large-scale rollout across 800 vehicles. Weekly check-ins throughout installation ensured progress, resolved issues, and enabled them to complete the full transition within one year, a critical outcome for one of the largest private employers in Mississippi managing over 1,000 drivers.

• Univar Solutions: Implemented Samsara faster than planned, under budget, and without disruptions to key operational data, successfully deploying Samsara Vehicle Gateways and AI Dash Cams to 1,000 vehicles in only five months across one of the largest private fleets in the industry.

• Ferrellgas: Installed Samsara across 90% of their fleet of 4,000 vehicles in just over 90 days, beating their target goal by a full month across all 50 states and Puerto Rico.

• UniGroup: Rolled out AI Dash Cams and ELDs simultaneously across a fleet of 3,500 vehicles and 4,700 drivers after seeing the power of Samsara's AI Dash Cams during their initial ELD evaluation, with Samsara's implementation team supporting a parallel deployment that would have been difficult to execute with most providers.

• Sunrun: Fleet Manager Koriann Bateman noted, "The biggest challenge with dash cams is driver buy-in, and Samsara was very supportive throughout the process. Their team visited our pilot offices during installation to show drivers how the dash cams would benefit them and answer their questions," highlighting Samsara's hands-on support during a fleet-wide AI Dash Cam rollout across 3,000+ vehicles in 22 states.

• Caddo Parish Public Schools: Executed a deliberately phased implementation across their 325-bus fleet, with phase one focusing on GPS tracking via Vehicle Gateways, phase two targeting safety via AI Dash Cams, and phase three introducing preventative maintenance alerts, building safety infrastructure layer by layer rather than deploying everything simultaneously.

• Intermex Transportation: Switched from Geotab after finding the system difficult for their team to use, citing ease of use and the ability to meet their needs as they continued to grow as the primary reasons for choosing Samsara, with the transition enabling them to achieve zero insurance claims since deploying AI Multicam.

• MAVIN: Chose Samsara over Motive specifically based on ease of use and strong recommendations from their own drivers, with driver advocacy playing an unusually prominent role in the vendor selection process for a family-run wood products company operating across 48 states.

• Ace Tree Enterprise: Fleet Manager Lupita Hernandez stated, "I gave Motive a chance, but when I saw what we were receiving versus what we were paying for, it was clear we weren't getting our money's worth," and "I don't think that we would have been able to keep growing at such a fast pace if we stayed with Motive. The system was inaccurate, critical alerts didn't trigger, and it lacked the features Samsara provides."

• Corcoran Transportation Group: CEO Frankie Wilmot noted that the simple plug-and-play installation allowed for a quick rollout across all four of their fleets, and that accessing video footage from Samsara on a phone was up to three times faster than their previous provider Motive's retrieval process, making the transition immediately impactful from day one.

• West Valley Construction: IT Director Ryan Hass stated, "We need to stay dynamic to support the business. We found that with Samsara," citing Samsara's flexibility and scalability as the core reasons for transitioning from a telematics-only provider to a fully integrated video-based safety program across 600 vehicles and 600 assets.

• Emery Sapp & Sons: Were so confident in Samsara's proven technology, particularly its ELD reliability and industry-leading dash cams, that they decided to skip a trial period entirely and proceed directly with installation across their 1,700+ device fleet, a level of confidence in a vendor rarely seen in the industry.

• Jett Express: Safety Director Brad Hackett stated, "Samsara is a one-stop shop for us, it's our system of record. We now manage compliance, safety, and location tracking in one place," reflecting on a transition driven by their previous provider repeatedly providing incorrect driver records during a DOT audit that jeopardized their compliance standing.

• City of Houston Public Works: Assistant Director Brian Blum stated, "Ever since we partnered with Samsara, we haven't looked at competitors. Now we have a solution that is a cut above everybody and is helping us find new ways to improve safety and efficiency," reflecting on a platform modernization that replaced an analog fleet management system across nearly 4,000 vehicles serving 2.3M citizens.

• Maxim Crane Works: VP of Operations Dennis Collins stated, "My only regret is we didn't adopt Samsara sooner. It was challenging to convince others of the invisible ROI, but now they clearly see how it has paid for itself," reflecting on the internal change management process required to bring a $13M annual savings program to life across 60+ locations.

• CFC Recycling: President Alexander Rice stated, "Data is useless unless it's good, organized data. With Geotab and Verizon, I couldn't trust the data given to me. With Samsara, I have access to accurate, reliable, real-time information that I can instantly put to use for my drivers and my operations," after cycling through Big Road, Verizon Connect, and Geotab before finding a technology partner that delivered on its promises.

Samsara contracts are often structured as multi-year agreements (e.g. 3-5 years), to give fleet operators stable pricing and access to Samsara's Connected Operations Platform, including hardware, software, and ongoing customer support, for the duration of the agreement. The specific contract structure for your organization will depend on fleet size and scope, but a multi-year model can provide pricing predictability and business growth. This enables Samsara to build long-term partnerships with customers and support their growth as their operations evolve.

Samsara generally uses a subscription model that covers both hardware and software under your agreement. In many cases, customers do not see separate line items for devices versus platform access, and there are no hidden leasing fees. Your specific quote will set out any applicable charges.

Many of Samsara's products are priced on a per-asset, per-month basis, meaning your investment scales directly with the size of your fleet and grows as your operations expand. This structure gives organizations flexibility and scalability, so you pay based on the number of assets you're actively managing, whether that's vehicles, equipment, or sites. 

Samsara is designed for fast deployment and delivers clear ROI. According to the latest data from G2’s Summer 2026 Overall and Small Business Grid® Reports for Fleet Management, Samsara customers go live in an average of 1.7 months overall. For small business customers, that drops to 1.1 months—faster than other competitors. Time-to-value is equally fast. Samsara customers reach ROI in an average of 9 months overall—5 months faster than the 14-month overall average across all vendors. For small business customers specifically, Samsara's 9-month time to ROI beats Motive's 10 months.

IDC calculates that Samsara customers can realize average benefits worth $2.02 million per organization per year, which IDC equated to an average 815% return on investment (ROI).

Samsara contracts are designed to provide pricing stability over the course of your agreement. While most contracts do not include annual price escalators, pricing and terms are ultimately governed by your specific order form and agreement. This means that, in general, the commercial terms you agree to at signing are intended to hold for the life of the contract. Pricing is revisited at renewal, at which point Samsara works with customers to evaluate their needs and structure the right agreement going forward.
