What managed operations replace
Vulog sells software; the field and rider operations stay yours. Levy Managed absorbs rider support, payment operations, disputes, refunds, and collections at 20% of GMV against a $250/mo minimum. These figures price that labour, not a competitor quote — Vulog does not publish one.
Labour figures are illustrative loaded costs for planning, not a quote. Your real number depends on ride volume, dispute rate, and how much field work you already do in-house.

When to Choose Each Platform
Choose Levy Fleets if you...
- You operate a micro-mobility fleet (e-scooters, e-bikes, golf carts) rather than cars
- You want transparent pricing without an enterprise sales process

- You need fast onboarding in days, not a months-long implementation
- You prefer a managed service that handles rider support and payment disputes
- You are a US-based hospitality or campus operator
- Need parking photo verification and AI damage detection — car-focused OEM platform lacks these
- Need US tax compliance (W-9, 1099-K) and automated Stripe dispute defense
- Want loyalty rewards, referral programs, and per-ride insurance — enterprise OEM model doesn't include these
Choose Vulog if you...
