    Why the "Monthly Model" Changes Everything for Fleet Fuel Software

    Direct Answer

    OptiMile Pro is billed as a monthly per-truck subscription, not an annual license. The savings accrue on the runs a fleet is already dispatching, in the same month the invoice arrives, so there is no upfront outlay to earn back. There is no setup fee and no annual prepayment.

    Key Statistics

    • OptiMile Pro is billed monthly per truck, so the cost tracks fleet size instead of arriving as one upfront license fee.
    • Fuel savings accrue on runs already scheduled, inside the same billing month the subscription is charged for.
    • No upfront setup fee or annual contract required to begin.

    In a tight freight market, cash flow is oxygen. Fleet owners are hesitant to sign big annual contracts or put down large upfront payments.

    We get it. That's why OptiMile Pro is a monthly subscription.

    And the billing shape is what makes that work. The savings arrive on the runs you are already dispatching, in the same month you are invoiced for them, so the subscription is funded by money the software found rather than by money you fronted.

    The Breakeven

    How It Clears, Per Truck

    What you owe: one flat monthly charge for that truck, with no setup fee and nothing prepaid

    What pays it: the fuel savings on the runs that truck is already making that month

    Both halves are per truck, so the shape holds whether you run five trucks or five hundred. Scale doesn't move it.

    Your own numbers depend on your lanes, your MPG and your contracted prices, which is what the savings calculator on the pricing page is for.

    Why Monthly and Not Annual

    Nothing about that is a bet on a future quarter. The savings arrive on the runs you are already dispatching, in the same month you are billed for them, which is why a monthly model works here and an annual commitment would not.

    Key Insight

    You are paying for the software out of money the software found, in the month it found it. Nothing leaves the business ahead of the return.

    Conclusion

    This isn't an expense. It's a cash flow machine.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Savings start on the first optimized run, and billing is monthly, so the savings and the invoice fall in the same month. There is no setup fee and no annual prepayment to earn back before that starts. The savings calculator on the pricing page projects the figure for your own fleet.

    Monthly billing aligns the platform's cost with the savings it produces in the same month, eliminates the cash-flow hit of an annual prepayment, and lets fleets scale up or down with their truck count.

    That depends on inputs only the fleet has: truck count, annual miles, MPG, fuel price, and driver compliance. The savings calculator on the pricing page takes those and projects the fuel savings against the subscription cost for that fleet.

    No. There are no setup fees and no long-term contracts. Plans are month-to-month with a free 30-day trial.

    Per-truck monthly pricing keeps the cost proportional to the fleet being optimized and lets a fleet scale up or down with its truck count. Published rates run $30–$75 per truck per month with volume discounts, and the first 30 days are free.
