BSJ against Samsara
This is not a hardware comparison — it is a business-model one. Samsara sells the fleet a subscription and owns the relationship. We sell you a camera and get out of the way.
Platform, per vehicle per month

Samsara: €82

€169
Samsara: €3,429
The three years after it
Three years of one vehicle, at their list price
This is the only chart on the site where our bar is hard to see, and that is the whole argument. A subscription is not dearer hardware; it is a different thing being sold.
BSJ EH26 and FleetSight
€169
The camera at the 50–199 tier. Your SIM and your support are yours to price
Samsara at list, dual AI dash cam and the platform
€3,429
$548 of hardware up front and $94 a vehicle a month for thirty-six months
The short answer, row by row
| BSJ via FleetSight | Samsara | |
|---|---|---|
| How it is bought | Hardware once, platform included, no contract term | Per vehicle per month, typically on a 36-month commitment |
| Published price | €145–189 to the integrator, by annual volume | $39 a month for GPS and ELD, plus $55 for a dual AI dash cam — $94 at list before discount |
| Three years, one vehicle | One camera at €145–189, and nothing after that | About $3,400 at list, plus $99–548 of hardware up front |
| The product itself | Event review, live view, SD pull, coaching, white-label, iOS app | Deeper: coaching workflows, compliance, maintenance, an app ecosystem and support a fleet can call |
| Whose customer it is | Yours, under your brand and your domain | Theirs. You would be reselling somebody else's platform, if they let you |
| Where the video lives | Your tenant on our infrastructure, or your own bucket | Their cloud, on their retention terms |
When to buy theirs instead
- For a large fleet that wants one vendor, one support number and compliance in North America, Samsara is a better answer than anything an integrator assembles. Say so and compete elsewhere.
- Their coaching and driver-scoring product is years ahead of ours. If that workflow is the reason the customer is buying, the price gap will not save the deal.
- The $94 figure is list from public procurement records; real deals are discounted. Ask the customer what they were actually quoted before you build a business case on it.
- A US reseller lists the CM32 licence and camera together at $660 a year, which is $55 a month — the same dash cam line as above, from a second direction. That is the one part of the figure we would defend without a caveat.
Our side of the table
The models this page has been arguing about
Every figure above is one of these three. The specification on each page is transcribed from the manufacturer's own product page, with a link to it at the bottom so you can check the transcription rather than trust it.

The workhorse. Two 1080p channels with road and driver events on board.
