Pricing is one of the most critical factors when choosing between Strivie and Alvys, and the two platforms take very different approaches.
| Strivie | Alvys | |
|---|---|---|

Strivie's transparent pricing ($49/truck, billed monthly) is a significant advantage over Alvys's opaque custom quoting process. You can model exact costs for your fleet size before ever talking to a sales rep. Alvys requires a demo and proposal process that typically includes hidden implementation and training costs.
Both platforms target overlapping fleet segments: Mid Fleet, Large Fleet. This means carriers in these categories genuinely need to choose between the two — and the right choice comes down to which specific capabilities matter most to your operation.
Strivie additionally serves Owner-Operator, Small Fleet, Enterprise carriers — a segment Alvys doesn't cover. If you're in that tier, Strivie is the more natural fit.
