Fleetika or Shipday
Last updated: June 2026 · compares the Fleetika Carrier plan
People pick Shipday for a cheap start: a free tier, simple order intake, and quick access to third-party fleets like DoorDash and Uber when you're short on drivers. For a restaurant or local-delivery business, that's a working model. What you notice as you grow is the other side of it: the free plan hits an order cap, and past it you pay per extra order, plus a percentage on deliveries routed through outside networks.
Fleetika's Carrier package comes at it differently — a taxi service for your own fleet, at a fixed price.
The short version
Shipday is a cheap, simple way to get orders out the door: a free tier, quick order intake, and on-tap access to third-party fleets like DoorDash and Uber. The Fleetika Carrier plan is the opposite model — a taxi service for your own fleet at a fixed package price, with routing, FMS and TMS included. If you're a restaurant or local-delivery business that wants a free start and outside couriers on demand, Shipday fits; if you run your own fleet and want a price that doesn't climb with volume, the Fleetika Carrier plan fits.
Where Shipday fits
Real strengths:
- A genuinely free tier to get started.
- Simple order intake and dispatch.
- On-demand access to third-party fleets (DoorDash, Uber).
If your job is to get an order out for delivery fast, Shipday is simple and clear. The order arrives, a driver is assigned, the customer sees where the courier is. When you’re short on hands, you can hand the order to DoorDash or Uber straight from the interface. For food and local delivery that works, and Shipday carries nothing extra.
Read the bill as you grow
Shipday starts free, but the free plan caps the number of orders. Past that cap you pay per extra order, and deliveries routed through outside networks carry a percentage on top — so the real monthly cost is variable and climbs with volume.
The Fleetika Carrier plan takes the opposite approach: a package priced by fleet size, with routing and the core workflow included and no per-order meter or network cut. Carry more, pay the same.

How the Carrier package works
An order behaves like hailing a taxi: the route, distance, cost and arrival time sit right next to it, and around it you see only the vehicles that can handle it. You assign a driver, who runs the order in F-Driver, and the screen shows "driver on the way, arriving in 19 minutes". A field manager, meanwhile, calls a vehicle from the corporate fleet through F-Manager, without going through the dispatcher. And the customer places the order and follows it under your own brand, through a widget on your site or a customer app.
The difference from Shipday comes down to two things. The vehicles here are yours: your trackers connect as they are, and orders don't go out to outside networks with their cut. And you pay a fixed package fee rather than per order: volume rises, the price holds.
How to tell which is yours
If you’re a restaurant or local-delivery business and a cheap start with quick third-party access matters most, choose Shipday.
If you run your own fleet and want a simple "call a vehicle for the order" at a fixed price, with no cut for outside networks, that’s Fleetika.
