Short version. Gurtam publishes no Wialon price list. What it does publish is the model: every Wialon product is a monthly subscription based on the average number of connected vehicles, sold only through partners, with volume discounts on top. Third-party estimates put Wialon Hosting at roughly $5–15 per unit per month at partner level, and fleets buying from a partner report more. Wialon Local is not the one-off purchase some articles still describe: Gurtam’s own pricing FAQ says every product is billed monthly, and Local’s licence expires unless renewed.
How Wialon pricing works
Four things are on the record from Gurtam itself, all on the Wialon pricing page, checked on 6 October 2026:
- The meter is connected vehicles. Pricing is “based on a monthly subscription and the average number of connected vehicles”. Not users, not seats.
- You cannot buy it directly. All Wialon products are delivered through its network of telematics service providers. A fleet pays a partner, and the partner pays Gurtam.
- Discounts are structural. A turnover-based discount (Hosting and Local) improves the terms for the next six months as a partner’s volume grows. A functional discount (Hosting only) rewards activating fewer features per unit.
- Some things are included. Gurtam lists product updates, standard data storage and 24/7 technical support for partners as part of the price.
Two consequences follow. First, there are two prices in any Wialon deal: what Gurtam charges the partner, and what the partner charges you. Second, the functional discount means the per-unit price moves with the feature set — fewer features, cheaper units — so two quotes for “Wialon Hosting” may not be quotes for the same product.
The products, and what each is billed on
| Product | What it is | How it is billed |
|---|---|---|
| Wialon Hosting | Gurtam’s cloud platform | Per connected unit, monthly; activation codes for temporary projects |
| Wialon Local | The same platform on the partner’s own servers | Monthly, with a licence that expires; components bought separately |
| Wialon Lite | A reduced feature set | Monthly; Gurtam says up to 4× more cost-effective than Hosting for small projects |
| Wialon Platform | No-code solution builder | Depends on the features |
All four rows come from the pricing page. Activation-code billing is worth knowing about if your project is seasonal or fixed-term: a partner buys codes with a fixed validity, a unit is active while a code is assigned, and it switches off when the period ends.
Wialon Hosting price per unit
Gurtam does not print a number, so every figure here is somebody else’s estimate. Two are current:
- A January 2026 buying guide puts Hosting at “around $5–$15 per tracked unit per month, depending on update frequency and feature bundle”.
- ITQlick’s Wialon pricing page, updated June 2026, puts the base licence at $15–40 per vehicle per month, with implementation of $500–5,000 on top.
These are not measuring the same thing, and the gap between them is, on our reading, the partner layer: the first range sounds like what a partner pays, the second like what a fleet is quoted. Neither source says how it arrived at its figure, so treat both as a sense of scale rather than a price. The only number that binds is the one in your quote.
Wialon Local price: a licence that renews
This is where third-party material goes wrong. The buying guide above describes Local as “a one-time licence fee” of $1,000–10,000 or more, plus 15–20% a year in maintenance. Gurtam’s own pricing FAQ now answers the question directly: asked whether Wialon is available as a one-time payment, it says Wialon products follow a monthly pricing model.
Gurtam’s documentation agrees. The Wialon Local licence page shows the time of licence expiration on every screen of the administration system, needs a connection to Gurtam’s licence server to work, and tells you to contact your Partner Success Manager to renew. That is a subscription that happens to run on your hardware.
If a partner quotes you a perpetual Local licence, ask in writing what happens in year three if you stop paying maintenance, and whether the server keeps working without the licence check.
What else costs money
The per-unit fee is the start of the bill, not the whole of it.
On Wialon Local, functionality is licensed in components. The licence page lists three kinds: modules, which add features such as notifications, fuel control and advanced reports, or service-level options such as hot backup, personal design and extra sites; retranslators, the protocols for forwarding data elsewhere; and hardware, bought per manufacturer — buying one manufacturer covers all of that manufacturer’s devices. A Local server with no fuel module does no fuel control.
On Wialon Hosting, apps and maps are services on a billing plan. Each account has services, each with its own limit and cost, and the list includes one that activates Fleetrun (maintenance), one for Hecterra (agriculture), and access to Google and HERE maps. Gurtam’s other solutions, such as NimBus for public transport, are sold alongside. We found no published price for any of them, so we print none; ask for each app you need as a line on the quote.
On Local, you also buy the server. Gurtam publishes the hardware it expects, scaled by unit count, with a ceiling of 20,000 units per distribution. Budget for a backup server too: the documentation has a section on installing one.
Then the usual one-offs. Hardware, installation, implementation and training sit outside any platform price. ITQlick’s estimates for implementation and training are above; device and installation costs depend on your trackers, not on Wialon.
A worked example at 100, 500 and 2,000 units
Assumptions, stated so you can replace them:
- Hosting at $5, $10 and $15 per unit per month — the low end, middle and high end of the buying guide’s range. That is roughly a partner’s cost; a fleet buying through a partner pays the partner’s price instead.
- Every unit connected all year, so the average equals the total.
- No apps, no activation codes, no one-off costs. Those are additions.
Wialon Hosting, annual platform cost
| Units | at $5 | at $10 | at $15 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 | $6,000 | $12,000 | $18,000 |
| 500 | $30,000 | $60,000 | $90,000 |
| 2,000 | $120,000 | $240,000 | $360,000 |
The turnover discount means a large partner sits nearer the left-hand column; a fleet of 100 buying retail sits at or above the right-hand one. At ITQlick’s $15–40 retail range, those same 100 vehicles cost $18,000–48,000 a year.
Wialon Local, what you provision
We cannot price the Local licence — nobody credible publishes it — so the table shows what Gurtam says the server must be, which is the part of Local you pay for whatever the licence costs:
| Units | Gurtam’s stated server |
|---|---|
| 100 | Core i7 or Xeon, 4+ cores, 16 GB RAM, RAID1 SSD from 250 GB |
| 500 | Core i7 or Xeon, 6+ cores, 32 GB RAM, RAID1 SSD from 250 GB |
| 2,000 | Xeon, 10+ cores, from 48 GB RAM, RAID10 SSD, 4×2 TB or more |
Add the licence, each module and hardware group you need, a backup server, and the time of whoever administers it. Local answers data residency; it does not make the cost stop tracking the unit count.
When Wialon’s price is worth paying
- You want one vendor accountable for decoding, platform and support, with more than 4,100 device models already integrated.
- You need a solution Gurtam already ships — maintenance in Fleetrun, public transport in NimBus, agriculture in Hecterra — and building the equivalent would cost more than the licence.
- You are a partner whose volume earns the turnover discount, and your margin works at that rate.
- You have no one who would own a server, which makes Hosting the right product and self-hosting the wrong one.
How the self-hosted cost compares
The structural difference is one term. Wialon’s bill is vehicles × rate × months; a self-hosted platform’s is infrastructure plus operations, with no vehicle term at all. Where the two lines cross depends on your rate and your ops time, and the three-year cost worksheet works it through with numbers you can check. The row-by-row product comparison is on Routly versus Wialon.
Routly is AGPL-3.0, free to self-host for your own fleet; resellers who need a commercial licence get a quote per deployment. If you are weighing a move, the retranslator migration runs both systems on the same trackers while you compare, and the demo needs no account.
Frequently asked
How much does Wialon cost per unit per month?
Gurtam does not say. Published estimates run from about $5–15 at partner level to $15–40 for a fleet buying through a partner. Your quote depends on volume, feature set and the partner’s margin.
Is Wialon Local a one-time purchase?
Not according to Gurtam today. Its pricing FAQ says all Wialon products follow a monthly model, and a Local licence carries an expiry date and checks in with Gurtam’s licence server.
Can I buy Wialon directly from Gurtam?
No. Wialon is sold only through partners, so the price you pay includes theirs.
Is Wialon Lite cheaper than Hosting?
Gurtam says up to four times more cost-effective for small or early-stage projects, with a reduced feature set and a migration path to Hosting later.
Does Wialon charge for data storage?
Standard data storage is included, by Gurtam’s account. If you need history beyond the standard period, ask your partner what the period is and what extending it costs.
