Why no vendor publishes a price list
Search for fleet tracking pricing in Singapore and you will find almost no numbers. That is not evasion, or not only evasion. Two fleets of thirty vehicles can differ by a factor of four or more depending on whether they need plain tracking or tracking with AI video, fuel sensors and temperature probes on every unit.
What you can reasonably expect is a quotation within a business day, itemised, once you have said how many vehicles you run and which two problems are costing you the most.
The five things that actually drive cost
- Hardware, and whether you already own it. The single largest variable. If your existing trackers can be redirected to the new platform, hardware cost can fall to zero. See our guide to switching without replacing hardware.
- Modules. Basic position tracking is the cheap layer. AI dashcam, fuel level sensing, temperature probes, driver ID readers and job dispatch each add hardware, installation time and platform cost.
- Reporting interval. More frequent reporting means more data, more storage and more SIM traffic.
- Contract length. Longer terms usually lower the monthly figure because hardware is amortised. Read what you are trading away — see the section on renewal below.
- Installation complexity. A plug-in OBD unit is minutes. A hardwired unit with a fuel sender in a tipper tank is not.
Charges that show up later
The recurring surprises, in rough order of frequency:
- SIM and data charges quoted separately from the subscription.
- Per-report or per-alert charges on SMS notifications.
- Custom report fees for anything outside the standard set.
- API access priced as an add-on rather than included.
- Data retention tiers, where history beyond a short window costs more.
- De-installation charges at end of contract on leased hardware.
- Auto-renewal, where the contract rolls for a further long term unless notice is given months ahead.
The renewal clause is the one to read first. A two-year automatic renewal requiring 90 days' notice is not unusual in this market. It can cost more over time than any line item in the quotation.
For reference, our own Terms of Service do not renew automatically: after the initial term the service continues month-to-month and you can end it on 30 days' notice.
How to compare two quotations
Two quotations for the same fleet are frequently not comparable as written. Normalise them:
| Normalise on | Ask |
|---|---|
| Total cost of ownership | What is the total over 36 months, including hardware, installation, SIM, and all recurring charges? |
| Hardware ownership | Do I own the devices at the end, or are they leased? |
| What is included | Are API access, custom reports and alerts included or extra? |
| Retention | How long is history kept at the quoted price? |
| Exit | What is the notice period, and what do I pay to leave? |
| Support | Who answers, in which country, during which hours? |
Where the PSG grant fits
For an eligible Singapore SME the Productivity Solutions Grant can cover up to 50% of qualifying cost, capped at S$30,000 per entity per grant year, where the solution is pre-approved.
The sequencing rule is absolute: apply before you sign or pay. A vendor who suggests installing first and sorting the grant afterwards is costing you the funding. The full mechanics are in our PSG grant guide.
What to put in your request for quotation
Send prospective vendors this, and the quotations you get back will be comparable:
- Number and type of vehicles, and where they operate.
- Existing tracker brand and model, if any, and who owns the SIMs.
- The two or three outcomes you actually need — not a feature list.
- Required reporting interval and how far back history must go.
- Any integration target, such as an ERP or payroll system.
- Whether you intend to apply for PSG, so the quotation is formatted for it.
- A request for 36-month total cost of ownership, itemised.
