7 platforms worth evaluating against Hopp, with what each is actually good at. We build one of them, and we say plainly where the others are the better call.
Why operators look elsewhere
You operate under the Hopp brand, not your own; the app and rider base belong to Hopp
Stacked cost of entry: a franchise fee, a minimum hardware purchase, and an ongoing royalty on net revenue
Locked to Hopp-supplied scooters with no hardware-agnostic or multi-vendor option
What to compare on
Cost in your slowest month
A subscription is owed when nobody rides. Revenue share falls with revenue. Model your off-season, not your peak.
What your tier excludes
The quoted price and the real price diverge at tier boundaries — operator app, webhooks, extra IoT brands, payment options.
Who runs rider operations
Support, disputes, refunds and collections are either included, or they are your staff cost. Price both.
Hardware independence
If the platform only speaks its own IoT hardware, your software choice and hardware choice are permanently coupled.
Regulatory feeds
MDS and GBFS decide whether you can hold a city permit and whether riders find you in Google Maps and Transit.
Exit terms
Ask what you can export, in what format, on what notice — and get the answer in the contract.

Common questions
What is the best alternative to Hopp?
It depends on what pushed you to look. Levy Fleets is the strongest fit if you want published pricing, every feature on every plan, and the option of managed rider operations — 20% of GMV (15% at 100-249 vehicles, annual terms) against a $250/mo minimum. If your reason for leaving is something specific like docking hardware, a franchise package, or a source-code licence, one of the 6 other options below may fit better, and we say which.
Why do operators look for Hopp alternatives?
The recurring reasons: You operate under the Hopp brand, not your own; the app and rider base belong to Hopp; Stacked cost of entry: a franchise fee, a minimum hardware purchase, and an ongoing royalty on net revenue; Locked to Hopp-supplied scooters with no hardware-agnostic or multi-vendor option.
Is there a free alternative to Hopp?
Not a serious one for a revenue-generating fleet. Anything handling rider payments, identity verification, and insurance carries real cost — the question is whether you pay it as a subscription, a revenue share, or your own staff time. Levy's revenue-share model means a quiet month costs the $250/mo minimum rather than a full subscription, which is the closest thing to "free when you are not earning".
How hard is it to migrate off Hopp?
Moving to Levy takes about three weeks for a fleet with connected hardware, and the fleet stays rentable throughout. Levy speaks seven IoT protocol families — OKAI, Segway, Queclink, Omni, Omni-Lock, Zimo, Acton — so most vehicles re-point rather than being re-equipped. Rides, riders, and wallet balances import so reporting does not break at the seam.
Should I stay with Hopp?
Genuinely yes, if: You want a fully turnkey, single-brand franchise and are comfortable running it as Hopp; You need financing and want up to 80% of the scooter order financed via Start-Hopp; You are launching in a small or mid-size European town where Hopp already has a presence. Switching platforms costs real time, and it is not worth it to solve a problem you do not have.
