Hellotracks vs Verizon Connect

The short version

Verizon Connect is fleet telematics: a tracking device in each vehicle, location as often as every 30 seconds, dash cams and ELD tools, priced per vehicle through sales. Hellotracks is an app on your team's phones that follows the person live, with dispatch, routes, timesheets and proof of work, from $10 per user a month with a self-serve free trial.

Choose Verizon Connect if

You need to track the vehicles themselves, run trucks that need ELD and hours-of-service logs, want AI dash cams, or track trailers and equipment.

Choose Hellotracks if

You need to see people rather than trucks, dispatch and route jobs, and prove visits, without hardware or a multi-year contract.

To be honest

When Verizon Connect is the better choice

  • You need to track the vehicle itself: diagnostics, fuel, idling or harsh driving, no matter who carries a phone.
  • Your trucks must meet ELD, hours-of-service, inspection or fuel tax rules.
  • You want AI dash cams and video-based driver coaching.
  • You track trailers or heavy equipment with battery-powered trackers.
  • You run a larger fleet that can commit to a multi-year contract with one telematics vendor.

Where we fit

When Hellotracks is the better choice

  • You need to see people, including workers in their own cars or on foot, not only company vehicles.
  • You want to start today with a free trial, without a sales call, hardware shipment or contract.
  • You want published per-user pricing and monthly billing without a 36-month term.
  • Your core need is dispatch, route optimization, timesheets and proof of work, not engine data.
  • Your team is small or changes with the season, so per-vehicle multi-year contracts are hard to justify.

Using both

Several Hellotracks customers keep telematics for the vehicles and use Hellotracks for the people and the jobs. Verizon Connect answers where the truck is and how it is driven. Hellotracks answers who was on site, for how long, what was done, and what job comes next.
