Geotab review and pricing

Open MyGeotab platform; 4M+ connected vehicles via reseller channel.

By Geotab Inc. · Founded 2000 · Oakville, ON, Canada · private

Geotab is a Canadian, founder-led, privately held telematics vendor founded in 2000 by Neil Cawse, who remains CEO and majority owner. The product is built around the GO9 device (and GO Anywhere asset tracker) and the MyGeotab software platform, which is sold almost exclusively through a partner reseller channel rather than direct sales. Geotab reports more than 4 million connected vehicles across 50,000+ customers in 160+ countries, the second largest installed base after Verizon Connect. Best fit for multi-region enterprise deployments (US, Canada, UK, EU, Australia, Brazil) wanting an open API platform, predictable per-device pricing through a regional reseller, and a hardware device that consistently rates as the most reliable in the category. Trade-offs: the partner-led model means buyer experience varies dramatically by reseller quality, the platform UI is functional but dated compared to Samsara, and the AI dashcam (GO TalkLINK and partner cameras like Surfsight) lags Samsara CM32 and Motive AI Omnicam on detection sophistication.
