Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Samsara Fleet at 4.7 against iMatrix's 4.2. Samsara Fleet also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 5). iMatrix's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 77%) and iOS requirement (13 vs 15.1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Samsara Fleet holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Samsara Fleet has 1.2K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Samsara Fleet's written reviews are positive against 100% of iMatrix's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Samsara Fleet ships an update every 2 weeks, iMatrix every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
