Direct answer
Choose Fleeti if you want a platform designed for France: public pricing, the true cost of each vehicle and built-in compliance (ANTAI, benefits in kind, TVS, CSRD), with the Fleeti Vision dashcam that can be activated vehicle by vehicle.
Samsara may suit you if multi-camera AI video safety is your absolute priority, on a large transport fleet. According to its FAQ for small businesses, the minimum contract is 3 years, paid up front.
The right choice therefore does not depend only on the feature list. It depends on the question you are trying to answer: roll out AI video safety across a whole fleet, or manage your vehicles, their costs and their French compliance with a clear offer.
Key takeaway
Fleeti is particularly well suited when the fleet has to meet French rules and video is only useful on some of the vehicles. Compare the total price over the contract term, hardware included.

Why Fleeti
Three concrete reasons, illustrated in the platform.
Compare on your own data
Ask Fleeti and Samsara to work on the same sample, then put the same questions to both. You will compare results, not feature lists.
The fair pilot
20 vehicles from your fleet, including vans or machinery
A few vehicles fitted with a dashcam
3 suppliers: leasing company, fuel card, garage
A benefit-in-kind case and an ANTAI fine
An incident to document with video
Then measure: the time to find a clip, the share of costs automatically attached to the right vehicle, the traceability of an invoice back to the cost centre, and the exports for accounting and payroll.
