Side by side
Six axes, plain English.
Pricing references are 2026 public ranges; confirm with both vendors before purchase.
| Axis | DirtFleet | Whip Around |
|---|---|---|
| Core focus | Maintenance + work orders + tool tracking + projects + OSHA incidents. | Inspections + DVIR + driver-side checklist completion. Mature inspection workflow + dispatch. |
| Inspection / pre-trip workflow | Pre-trip checklists with PASS / FAIL / NA per item; FAIL auto-raises a yellow flag. Customizable templates per asset class. | Best-in-class. Custom forms, photo prompts per item, fault-tracking, signature capture. |
| Maintenance depth | WorkOrder model, hour-based PM, per-asset cost-per-hour rollup, OEM service-catalog seeds. | Maintenance is light — meant to pair with a CMMS or maintenance module. |
| Tool tracking | Built-in module with QR/NFC scan-to-action. | Not in scope. |
| Pricing | $199 / month flat organization subscription (or $1,990 / year). Unlimited drivers, mechanics, managers, and assets under our fair-use policy. | Per-vehicle subscription with inspection-volume tiers; published 2026 ranges run $5–10 per vehicle / mo. |
| Driver UX | Three-tap meter logs, photo-of-meter, glove-friendly. Pre-trip is one of several flows. | Inspection-first UX — every driver flow flows through a checklist. Strong if inspections are your primary daily ritual. |
Inspections THAT trigger maintenance.
DirtFleet pre-trip FAILs auto-spawn yellow flags.
