ROI

Complicated software, Excel, and Smartsheets are costing you more than you think. DirtFleet delivers simpler tracking with measurable ROI for heavy equipment fleets.

Industry benchmarks show construction and earthmoving fleets using dedicated hour-based maintenance tools often achieve 15–30% lower maintenance costs, 35–50% fewer unplanned breakdowns, and full payback in 3–6 months in published planning scenarios—not a guarantee for every yard.DirtFleet's flat fleet model ($199/mo or $1,990/yr, unlimited users under fair use) focuses on what moves the needle—without per-user fees.Offline, honestly: hour logs queue in IndexedDB when signal drops, and the service worker caches reads for a smoother field experience—not "offline everything" with every feature guaranteed disconnected.

ROI & pricing

Questions fleets ask

Where do the 15–30% maintenance savings and payback ranges come from?

Those bands are common planning figures cited in construction and earthmoving fleet maintenance literature and vendor case-study summaries—useful for budgeting conversations, not a promise for your specific operation. Your mix of iron, labor rates, and how you run PM will dominate the real number.

How is DirtFleet priced compared to per-user tools?

DirtFleet Hours is a flat org subscription: $199 per month month-to-month, or $1,990 per year on annual prepay, with unlimited drivers, mechanics, and managers on standard plans under fair use—no per-seat fee that grows every time you add someone to the crew.

What does “offline” mean in the product today?

Field logging uses an IndexedDB-backed hour queue on the device when connectivity is poor, and the installed app can cache reads via the service worker so common views stay usable. It is not a guarantee that every screen and action works with zero network—plan for normal sync when you are back online.

How should I use the bill estimator on this page?

Sliders and toggles illustrate ROI using your fleet size; list software spend is flat for standard plans (see Pricing for fair use). Pair that with your own labor, downtime, and emergency-repair estimates to talk ROI with your team—or use it as a starting point before a scoped conversation on Support.
