Levy Fleets vs Onfleet
Onfleet routes the deliveries. Levy supplies and manages the bikes the couriers ride. Most delivery operations end up needing both.
Up to 2,500 delivery tasks; overage ~$0.26/task
Priced on what the vehicles earn, not per delivery
Levy routes operator swap runs, not customer deliveries
Rental, battery ops, theft recovery, maintenance
These are not alternatives — they solve adjacent halves of the same operation
A courier fleet has two distinct problems. One is logistical: which rider takes which drop, in what order, and how does the customer know when it is coming. Onfleet is very good at that and Levy does not attempt it — there is no parcel router, no auto-dispatch, and no proof-of-delivery flow in Levy. The other problem is the vehicles: where they come from, who pays for them, whether the battery will last the shift, what happens when one is stolen, and who is liable for damage. That is Levy’s half — including route-optimising the swap and rebalance runs that keep the fleet charged and positioned. An operation running Onfleet for dispatch and Levy for the bike fleet is the normal shape, not a compromise.

What the vehicle side costs when nobody manages it
Routing software does not address dead batteries mid-shift, stolen bikes, or maintenance backlogs. These are the costs Levy targets.
Estimates assume a lost shift costs a day of rental plus the delivery margin, theft rates typical of urban courier fleets, and maintenance caught earlier through scheduled service rather than failure. These are vehicle-side costs that a routing platform does not touch, so they add to rather than replace an Onfleet subscription.

When to Choose Each Platform
Choose Levy Fleets if you...
- You supply the e-bikes or cargo bikes your couriers ride and need to rent, bill, and manage them
- Dead batteries mid-shift are costing you delivery capacity
- Bike theft is a material cost and you want GPS recovery and immobilization
- You need maintenance scheduling and damage liability on the vehicle fleet
- You want couriers billed weekly or monthly for the vehicle with non-payment protection
- You run e-bikes alongside scooters, mopeds, or cars and want one dashboard
Choose Onfleet if you...
- You need customer-delivery route optimization and dispatch — Levy does not offer either
- You need proof of delivery, customer notifications, and dynamic ETAs
- Your couriers supply their own vehicles, so there is no fleet to manage
- You need doorstep ID or age verification for regulated goods
- You are ingesting orders from commerce platforms and need a mature delivery API

About Onfleet
Onfleet is one of the best-known last-mile delivery management platforms — route optimization, auto-dispatch, driver tracking, proof of delivery, and customer notifications, priced by delivery task volume rather than by vehicle. It answers the question "which driver takes which packages in what order". Levy answers a different one: "where do the vehicles come from and who is responsible for them". Levy’s delivery product is e-bike and cargo-bike rental for couriers, 3PLs, restaurants, dark stores, and gig-worker fleets — the supply side. Most operations that need one genuinely need both, and this comparison is more about scope than about choosing.
