Side by side
| LapisTrack | MacroPoint | |
|---|---|---|
| Published price | $47.50 a month plus $2.85 per tracked load | Starts at $5 per load, can be discounted as low as 40 cents a load, paid upfront 1 |
| Setup | No setup fee | An implementation flat fee; the amount is not published on that page 1 |
| Contract | None. Cancel any time. | Contract length not stated; priced by yearly volume, paid upfront 1 |
| Free trial | First 30 days free | Not found on that page 1 |
| Billing when no location arrives | No charge for that load | Not found on that page 1 |
| Getting started | Email us to start; the price is published here | “Talk to an expert” is the main button on its home page 2 |
| Driver side | No app. Today: a link in the phone’s browser, or dock mode. A ZIP by call starts once our toll-free number is set up. Carrier ELD (Motive, Samsara) is in development, not live yet. | A driver app; its FAQ says the app needs location set to “Always Allow” 3. Or the carrier’s ELD, which it says avoids an app download 4 |

An honest fit
LapisTrack may suit you if
- You are a small or growing brokerage and want to read the price before you talk to anyone.
- You do not want a setup fee or a contract.
- Your drivers push back on installing anything.
- You want detention proof and shipper links included.
MacroPoint may suit you if
- You are a large operation that wants an established vendor with ELD connections working today.
- You want a driver app rather than a browser page. A browser page cannot track in the background.
- You will negotiate volume pricing with its sales team. Its lowest published per-load price, 40 cents, is below our $2.85, before its implementation fee.
Other tools publish a free entry plan or flat monthly tiers, for example CarrierView and LBOARD (as published, October 2026). If you track only a few loads at a time, compare them too. We do not claim to be the cheapest.
