When to Choose Each Platform

Choose Levy Fleets if you...

  • You are a former ScootAPI client looking for a stable, independent platform after the Atom acquisition
  • You want revenue-share pricing instead of fixed monthly subscription fees (€490–€1,290/mo)
  • You need US-based support and operate in North America
  • You prefer a turnkey solution with vehicle procurement help rather than software-only
  • You want all features on every plan — ScootAPI gated group rides, Apple/Google Pay, push notifications, and passes behind Standard tier
  • You need a managed service that handles rider support, payment disputes, and chargeback defense
  • You need built-in parking photo verification, AI damage detection, and violation management for regulatory compliance
  • You need fraud detection, dispute handling, and tax compliance tools (W-9, 1099-K) built into the platform
  • You want a loyalty program, referral system, and insurance workflow included — not available from ScootAPI/Atom
  • You need all IoT integrations on every plan — ScootAPI Basic tier locked you to a single IoT brand

Choose ScootAPI if you...

  • You are already migrated to Atom Mobility and satisfied with their platform
  • You need full source code access for deep customization and self-hosted deployments
  • You operate primarily in CIS, Eastern European, or emerging markets and prefer local timezone support
  • You want a dedicated franchise module with multi-city separated financials to sub-license your sharing platform
  • You need direct payment routing to your bank account via acquirer integration (bypassing the platform)
  • You prefer a commission-based pricing model (4–10% per ride) over fixed monthly fees

Why Operators Choose Levy Over ScootAPI

Levy is an active, independent company, not absorbed into a larger platform with uncertain migration timelines

Revenue-share pricing means you pay only when riders pay you, unlike fixed monthly subscriptions

Turnkey solution with vehicle procurement assistance, not software-only

US-based support team, not Eastern European timezone coverage

All features on every plan with no tiered feature gates

Managed plan handles rider support, payment ops, and disputes

About ScootAPI

ScootAPI was a white-label SaaS platform for micro-mobility operators based in Minsk, Belarus (later relocated to Estonia for EU legal standing), powering 50+ sharing projects and 5,000+ e-scooters across 22 cities in 7 countries (Ukraine, Czech Republic, Romania, Moldova, Azerbaijan, Indonesia, Bolivia) before being acquired by Atom Mobility on June 1, 2025. The platform processed 2.7M trips for 267,500 unique users in 2023. ScootAPI offered three SaaS tiers (Basic €490/mo, Standard €1,290/mo, Premium custom) plus a unique full source code license option. IoT was powered by flespi middleware supporting Omni, OKAI, Teltonika, Navtelecom, Segway, and MQTT devices. Post-acquisition, clients are being transitioned to Atom Mobility — though scootapi.com remains live with no redirect 8+ months later, suggesting migration is ongoing. Founder George Kachanouski departed to pursue AI ventures; the ~15-person team's fate is undisclosed.
