GPS and Track vs.
Verizon Connect

Long Contract vs. No Contract

If you’re shopping for enterprise fleet GPS tracking, you’ll quickly notice two very different business models. Companies like Verizon Connect sell subscriptions locked into multi-year contracts and GPS and Track sells you the hardware and service and lets you decide whether you ever pay again. Here’s how the two actually compare.

What a Verizon Connect Plan Involves

Verizon Connect keeps its rates off its website; anyone interested has to go through a sales conversation, and the final number depends on fleet size, hardware selection, and which add-ons get bundled in.

  • Monthly software cost: somewhere in the $23.50–$45 per-vehicle range for the base-to-mid tiers, rising to $40–$70+ once dash cams, EV monitoring, or dispatch tools get added.
  • Setup and hardware: about $100 per vehicle when Verizon handles installation, plus separate charges — $150 per device for swaps, transfers, or removals, and no-show fees between $150 and $450.
  • Commitment length: a 3-year term is the norm when Verizon supplies the equipment, and several customers report the agreement rolling over automatically if the cancellation window slips by.
  • Getting out early: usually means covering whatever’s left on the contract.

What a GPS and Track Purchase Involves

GPS and Track skips the no monthly fees. Customers pay for the devices that include service. A single amount and that’s it. No charges that hit your account automatically. If you choose to renew after the included services term, the fee is minimal. Ranging from $25 per year for the trailer GPS tracker and $99 per year for the fleet GPS tracker. The savings for GPS and Track enterprise customers is significant. Stop needing the tracker, and you simply stop using it; there’s no leftover balance chasing you because there was never a multi-year term attached in the first place.

The real difference shows up once you look beyond the first twelve months. A subscription arrangement keeps billing for as long as the vehicle stays in service. With Verizon Connect, that billing can even continue past the original term if the rollover clause kicks in unnoticed. A flat, one-time purchase caps the cost at a single moment, with anything afterward being entirely optional. Stretch that comparison across two or three years.


The Bottom Line

For any small to enterprise business that wants dependable location data without a multi-year financial tether, the numbers lean toward GPS and Track’s structure that holds your spending steady, while a subscription-based competitor keeps adding to the tab. Extend that out to two or three years, and the savings difference only widens.
