Enterprise fleet software typically runs $20–$40 per vehicle every month. My Car Buddy does predictive maintenance from $1.99 — with a free tier for up to 1 vehicle and lower-cost 10-packs for equipment.
Same job. A fraction of the cost. And it costs less than the breakdown it prevents.

Almost there? Round up. You don't have to already own 10 vehicles to get the fleet discount. If you have 9 (or even fewer) and want the 10‑vehicle pricing, just choose the 10‑vehicle fleet plan — you'll pay the discounted fleet rate and have room to add the rest as you grow. The same works at every tier (50, 100, 150).
Reach 10+ vehicles? Free office & supplies expense tracking is included — upload and track office supplies, tools, hardware (nails, screws, fittings), and every receipt in one place.
Heavy equipment, on us. Every 10 vehicles you track unlocks 25 free equipment slots — so a 50-vehicle fleet covers up to 125 machines at no extra cost.

Referral Program

30% of what they pay, for as long as they stay. Partners earn 30% of every payment from each customer who signs up with their code — before any costs come out.

How the other 70% is spent

Every dollar a customer pays splits four ways: payment processing, a maintenance reserve, My Car Buddy, and the partner. Processing and maintenance come out of the company's side, not the partner's, so the partner's 30% is calculated on what the customer actually pays after their discount — with nothing deducted first.

A single vehicle at $1.59 a month earns the partner about $0.48. Ten trucks at $15.92 a month earns $4.78, every month those trucks stay subscribed. The Referral Partner Agreement carries the full four-way table and the exact definition.

Pricing shown is for standard passenger and commercial vehicles. Motorcycles, ATVs, and equipment are billed in lower-cost 10-packs. Your first vehicle is always free on the ad-supported plan (all fluids plus every safety-critical part). Everything is free for every account until September 30, 2026 — no card needed. Launch pricing: $1.99 / month through September 30, 2026. Vehicles added from October 1 are $2.99 / month.

How the pricing works in detail
  • Your rate is stamped when you add the vehicle, and never recalculated. A vehicle already on $1.99 keeps $1.99 for as long as you keep it — the October step applies to vehicles added after it, not to yours.
  • The full mobile apps release on October 1, on Android and iOS. In the apps the rate is $3.99 from that date rather than $2.99, because the app stores take a cut of every subscription sold through them — both storefronts step on the same day, so adding vehicles on the website avoids the difference. The apps read the same fleet as the website; you do not need one to use Capital My Car Buddy. What changes on October 1, and you can join the closed test on iPhone or Android now.
  • Volume discounts count your whole fleet, not each type separately. Ten vehicles is ten vehicles whether they are all trucks or a mix of trucks, trailers and equipment.
  • 10-packs round up the way billing does. Twelve trailers is two packs, not 1.2 — a partial pack bills as one.

One price. Every component. Every vehicle.
