Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is included in Samsara's pricing?

Samsara's monthly per-vehicle pricing includes the software platform, mobile apps, cloud storage for video footage, and ongoing support. However, hardware costs ($99-$148 per device) and installation ($350-$500 total per vehicle) are separate upfront expenses.

02 How long is the minimum contract with Samsara?

Samsara requires a minimum 3-year contract commitment, which is longer than many competitors. However, this typically results in lower monthly per-vehicle costs compared to shorter contract terms.

03 Can I try Samsara before committing?

Yes, Samsara offers a 30-day free trial that allows you to test the platform with your fleet before signing a contract. This includes access to hardware and the full software platform.

04 How does Samsara pricing scale with fleet size?

Samsara offers volume discounts for larger fleets. Small fleets might pay $40-$50 per vehicle monthly, while larger fleets with 50+ vehicles can negotiate pricing closer to $27-$30 per vehicle monthly with annual contracts.

05 What hidden costs should I expect with Samsara?

Beyond the monthly subscription, expect hardware costs ($350-$500 per vehicle including installation), potential cellular data fees, costs for additional camera units, and fees for advanced features like Equipment Monitoring or Trailer Tracking. Professional installation is also recommended and adds to initial costs.

06 Does Samsara work without internet connectivity?

Samsara devices can store data locally when offline and sync automatically when connectivity is restored. However, real-time tracking and alerts require cellular connectivity, which is included in the monthly subscription through embedded LTE.
