Whip Around

Whip Around is fleet software for digital inspections, maintenance, compliance and asset performance. It covers vehicles, equipment, supplies and facilities. Teams can build inspections and manage defects, and schedule preventive maintenance, work orders and service based on mileage or engine hours. Whip Around also describes AI-powered inspection photos to help identify issues and double-check inspections.

The platform offers a browser-based web app and mobile apps for iOS and Android phones and tablets. Its listed integrations include Geotab, Samsara, Motive, Verizon Connect, GPS Insight, WEX, Coast, Fullbay, Slack and Microsoft Teams; an open API is available for custom integrations. All plans include unlimited users, the mobile app and customer support, and the help page describes free setup, onboarding, training and ongoing 24/7 support. A 7-day trial requires no card details and provides access to Pro (Maintain). Basic (Inspect) is free as long as there is one asset and one user. Standard (Inspect) costs $5 a month billed annually per asset; Pro (Maintain) costs $10 a month billed annually per asset.

Whip Around combines digital inspections with maintenance and compliance tools, with a free tier and a 7-day trial. Consider the per-asset annual billing and the Basic plan's one-asset limit when choosing a plan.

Whip Around suits fleet teams managing inspections, defects, maintenance and compliance across vehicles or other assets. Its mobile apps and integrations may fit teams working across devices and connected systems.

Overview

Whip Around is fleet software for digital inspections, maintenance, and compliance across vehicles and other operational assets. It suits teams that need inspection and upkeep workflows on desktop and mobile. Its strongest case is bringing those jobs together; teams that need GPS tracking should look elsewhere.

Key features

Customizable inspections, defect management, reminders, and document history give teams a way to organize compliance work and follow up on reported issues. Preventive maintenance schedules, work orders, parts and inventory, and service history extend the platform into upkeep, with service triggered by mileage or engine hours. Those maintenance tools start with Pro, leaving Standard as the inspection-focused paid option.

AI-powered inspection photos are designed to help flag issues and double-check submissions. Whip Around covers vehicles, equipment, supplies, and facilities, which makes it relevant to operations managing more than road vehicles. Integrations include Geotab, Samsara, Motive, Verizon Connect, GPS Insight, WEX, Coast, Fullbay, Slack, and Microsoft Teams, and an open API supports custom connections. Fuel tracking and driver safety tools are included among its capabilities, but GPS tracking is not.

Pricing

Basic (Inspect) is free and remains free while an account has one asset and one user. Its limited capabilities make it a narrow starting point for a very small operation, not a practical tier for a growing fleet.

Standard (Inspect) costs $5 a month, billed annually per asset. It includes unlimited assets and users, DVIR inspections, defect management, reminders and notifications, plus history and document storage. The per-asset annual charge means the headline price rises with fleet size, even though users are unlimited. Standard suits teams focused on inspections; it does not include the listed maintenance functions.

Pro (Maintain) costs $10 a month, billed annually per asset. It adds preventive maintenance, work orders, parts and inventory, and service history, making it the relevant choice when teams need to manage repairs as well as inspections. Both paid per-asset plans include unlimited users, the mobile app, and customer support.

FixedUnlimited has custom pricing at a fixed annual rate, tailored to needs. It covers unlimited vehicles, equipment, facilities, and other assets, so it may suit organizations that want broad asset coverage under a fixed rate. The 7-day trial provides Pro access, requires no card details, and can be explored independently or with onboarding emails and a support call. Help includes free setup, onboarding, training, and ongoing 24/7 support.

Platforms

A browser-based app serves laptop and desktop users, while mobile apps run on iOS and Android phones and tablets. The platform also offers an API for custom integrations.

Who it's for

Whip Around is best for fleet and operations teams that need digital inspections, defect follow-up, and, on Pro, preventive maintenance in one system. Its coverage of facilities and equipment broadens its appeal beyond vehicle fleets. It is a poor fit for teams whose central requirement is GPS vehicle tracking.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Inspection and maintenance workflows cover multiple asset types, and Pro adds work orders, parts, and service history.
• Pros: Unlimited users on all plans lets teams include staff without a per-seat cap.
• Pros: A no-card 7-day Pro trial and 24/7 support lower the friction of evaluating and adopting the system.
• Cons: Basic is restricted to one asset and one user, so it offers little room for a working fleet to expand.
• Cons: Standard and Pro are billed annually per asset, tying the total cost to fleet size.
• Cons: GPS tracking is absent, ruling it out for buyers who need vehicle location monitoring.

Alternatives

Choose Simply Fleet if its free plan's five-vehicle, three-user allowance better matches a small fleet; it also has a free trial and Android, iOS, and web apps.

Motive is another option for buyers considering a paid platform with a free tier and Android, iOS, web, and API access.

Compare Navixy if you want product- and usage-based custom pricing without rigid tiers.

Netradyne offers the Driver•i plan with pricing through sales and a demo.

Verizon Connect is an option for customizable GPS fleet tracking solutions with pricing by request.

Consider Powerfleet Unity as another paid fleet software option.

Verdict

Whip Around is a strong fit for teams that want inspections and maintenance workflows across vehicles and other assets, with unlimited users and broad integration options. Choose it when those operational jobs matter more than location tracking and the per-asset annual cost works for your fleet. Look elsewhere if GPS tracking is essential or the one-asset free tier is too restrictive.
