Karqi vs FleetCheck: which is right for a small UK fleet?
FleetCheck is a well-established UK platform built for operators with hundreds of vehicles, large compliance teams and integrations across the supply chain. Karqi is built for the other end of the market — the plumber with five vans, the local courier with a dozen drivers, the regional contractor with thirty trucks. Same compliance discipline, sized for small businesses.

When FleetCheck is the right call
If you run an operator's licence with hundreds of HGVs, dedicated compliance staff, tachograph analysis needs and integrations with workshop systems, FleetCheck's depth is worth the price tag. Their platform is the established choice for large UK road-transport operators.
When Karqi is the better fit
- Your fleet is 3–50 vehicles. You don't need an enterprise compliance suite — you need daily checks to actually happen.
- You don't have a compliance manager. The owner, ops manager or office manager runs it alongside everything else.
- Drivers won't install an app. Karqi opens in any mobile browser — no app store, no IT.
- You want transparent per-vehicle pricing. £4.33/vehicle/month. Add a van, pay for one more.
- You want it live this week. Self-serve setup, 30-day free trial, no onboarding consultant.
