Where Rig Terminal goes further
Operating system vs telematics only
Geotab is a telematics platform — best-in-class at what it does, but it doesn't dispatch loads, pay drivers, hold money, or factor invoices.
Direct pricing
Geotab is sold exclusively through a reseller channel. Rig Terminal sells direct with published per-seat software pricing and a transparent $49/month per-device ELD add-on.
