Before going deep into the numbers let us first try to understand why some GPS trackers need a monthly subscription while some don’t? To answer this we need to know a little bit about the type of GPS trackers and how they work.

Active GPS Trackers:

These are also called real time GPS trackers (for example LandAirSea 54) which relay live location updates about speed, direction, time and location to the user in real time. They require a data connection to transmit this info to the user’s mobile or desktop dashboard. Since this happens over a cellular network, real time GPS trackers require a monthly or annual fee to use their service.

Passive GPS Trackers:

These are also called data loggers. (for example LandAirSea Tracking Key) Though passive GPS trackers perform more or less the same function as active GPS trackers, the difference lies in the way its GPS data is presented to the user. Passive GPS trackers have a built in storage facility which logs the location information such as speed, direction of travel, time and other parameters while the device is moving. This info can then be manually downloaded by the user to his/her device for analysis.
