A regular GPS subscription means a monthly or yearly charge. A lifetime subscription means one payment, and never another invoice. Here is how it works at Traxelio, what it costs, and who it is best for.
How does the lifetime subscription work?
You pay once. Your GPS device stays active on the Traxelio platform as long as it works, with no renewals, no surprises, and no price increases.
In practice:
- Full access to every feature in your plan (Basic, Premium, or Platinum)
- Updates included: every new feature added to your plan is automatically available
- SIM card and data included: we handle your tracker's connectivity
- Support included based on your plan level
The only scenario where the subscription ends: if the GPS device itself fails and is not replaced.
Lifetime pricing
| Plan | Monthly | Annual | Lifetime (one-time) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | 6,000 FCFA/mo | 60,000 FCFA/yr | 180,000 FCFA |
| Premium | 10,000 FCFA/mo | 100,000 FCFA/yr (2 months free) | 300,000 FCFA |
| Platinum | 125,000 FCFA/mo | 1,250,000 FCFA/yr (2 months free) | 3,750,000 FCFA |
The lifetime price equals 2.5 years of monthly subscription. This is the industry standard for lifetime SaaS pricing.
How much do you save?
Take the Premium plan as reference:
- Monthly: 10,000 FCFA/mo x 36 months (3 years) = 360,000 FCFA
- Annual: 100,000 FCFA/yr x 3 years = 300,000 FCFA
- Lifetime: 300,000 FCFA, once
By year 3, the lifetime subscription has already paid for itself compared to monthly. Every additional year saves 100,000 to 120,000 FCFA.
GPS devices typically last 3 to 5 years, sometimes longer. The math speaks for itself.
Over 5 years (Premium plan)
| Plan | Total cost over 5 years |
|---|---|
| Monthly | 600,000 FCFA |
| Annual | 500,000 FCFA |
| Lifetime | 300,000 FCFA |
That is 200,000 to 300,000 FCFA saved over the device's lifespan.
Who is it best for?
Lifetime is ideal if you:
- Plan to keep your vehicle for more than 3 years
- Manage a fleet and want predictable costs
- Prefer a single payment over recurring charges
- Want to lock in the current price (no future increases)
Monthly or annual is better if you:
- Are trying the service for the first time
- Change vehicles regularly
- Need temporary tracking (rental, construction site)
Frequently asked questions
Does the lifetime subscription cover future updates?
Yes. Every feature added to your plan is automatically available at no extra cost.
What happens if my GPS device breaks?
The subscription is tied to your account, not a specific device. If you replace your tracker, the subscription continues.
Can I switch from monthly to lifetime?
Yes. Contact us and we will apply a proportional credit for the remaining months on your current subscription.
Can the price increase after my purchase?
No. The price is locked at the time of purchase. Even if prices go up, your subscription stays at the price you paid.
Are the SIM card and mobile data included?
Yes. Your tracker's connectivity is entirely our responsibility, for life.
