What are the key differences between MapTrack and Gearbelt?

  • MapTrack is a standalone purpose-built asset platform with G2 + Capterra reviews under its own name. Gearbelt is a tile in Sitemate's bundled suite (Dashpivot + Gearbelt + Flowsite) with 0 G2 reviews and 0 Capterra reviews under its own brand as of Jun 2026. Sitemate parent has ~75 Capterra reviews and 28 G2 reviews - but those are for Dashpivot (forms), not Gearbelt (assets).
  • Gearbelt uses QR-code identification for tools and integrates third-party GPS trackers and telematics for vehicle and equipment location (no first-party GPS hardware); BLE, reservations and AI features are not publicly confirmed, while parent Sitemate documents SOC 2 certification (ISO 27001 is not publicly confirmed). MapTrack ships its own GPS trackers, BLE beacons and 150+ telematics, fleet and fuel-card data sources, plus reservations and AI features. MapTrack also covers councils, facilities, transport, energy and water alongside built-world; Gearbelt is built-world only.
  • MapTrack: per-asset pricing, unlimited users, standalone purpose-built, AWS Sydney with AU data residency (regional hosting on Enterprise). Gearbelt: also priced per asset, per month, with users free and unlimited (per the Gearbelt pricing page, Jul 2026) - so the pricing model is a point of parity, not a differentiator. Gearbelt sits inside the Sitemate suite, Sydney HQ via parent; compare per-asset quotes and what each tier includes.

What's the quick summary of MapTrack vs Gearbelt?

Both platforms target AU built-world asset tracking, but MapTrack is a standalone purpose-built platform with native first-party GPS and BLE, reservations and an independently reviewed product. Gearbelt is a tile in the Sitemate suite (Dashpivot + Gearbelt + Flowsite) that uses QR-code identification and syncs third-party GPS and telematics for location, with no reservations documented and zero G2 or Capterra reviews under its own brand. Here's a clear, side-by-side comparison.

TL;DR - MapTrack vs Gearbelt: MapTrack is a standalone Australian-built asset platform for heavy industry across AU/NZ, UK, US - tools + equipment + plant + fleet + machinery on one register with its own native GPS trackers, BLE beacons, 150+ telematics, fleet and fuel-card data sources, built-in reservations, structured inspections with custom forms, native work orders with failed-inspection-to-WO escalation, meter-driven PM, AI asset creation, AS/NZS-aware templates you adapt, AWS Sydney with AU data residency (regional hosting on Enterprise), and G2 + Capterra reviews under the MapTrack name. Gearbelt is the rebranded Nomad Fleet asset management product, acquired by Sydney-based Sitemate Technologies in August 2024 (acquisition terms not publicly disclosed). It sits inside Sitemate's 'Atlassian-style suite for the Built World' alongside Dashpivot (forms) and Flowsite (integrations). Pricing: per asset, per month, with users free and unlimited - the same per-asset model MapTrack uses (per the Gearbelt pricing page, Jul 2026; check the vendor page for current rates). Parent has raised ~$32M total (Crunchbase), including a Blackbird-led Series A in December 2024 (reported AUD $27.5M / USD $18M). Gearbelt has 0 G2 reviews + 0 Capterra reviews under its own brand (Jun 2026); it uses QR-code identification for tools and integrates third-party GPS trackers and telematics for location (no first-party GPS hardware), with BLE, reservations and AI features not publicly confirmed. Choose MapTrack for standalone purpose-built asset management, multi-industry depth, reviewed product, reservations, native first-party GPS + BLE + telematics, AI features and AU data residency. Choose Gearbelt if you are an AU built-world contractor already using Dashpivot for site forms and want an asset add-on inside the Sitemate suite.

Which platform fits your team?

Pick the persona that sounds most like you. Gearbelt is a tile in Sitemate's suite alongside Dashpivot and Flowsite. The recommendation reflects whether the Sitemate bundle is the natural fit or whether standalone purpose-built asset management serves better.

The existing Dashpivot customer

Are you already running Dashpivot for site forms and want an asset add-on inside the Sitemate suite?

Stay on Gearbelt. If Dashpivot already handles your forms, Gearbelt is the lowest-friction path - bundled with Flowsite integrations and a single login. The Atlassian-style suite pitch pays off if you commit to the suite.

The standalone AU built-world buyer

Do you want a purpose-built asset platform with native GPS, reservations and a reviewed product record?

Choose MapTrack. Gearbelt is a tile in Sitemate's bundle with 0 G2 reviews + 0 Capterra reviews of its own (Jun 2026). MapTrack is a standalone purpose-built asset platform with G2 and Capterra review presence under its own name.

The multi-industry operator

Do you cover councils, facilities, transport, energy or water alongside built-world assets?

Choose MapTrack. Gearbelt and the broader Sitemate suite are built-world-only. MapTrack covers built-world plus councils, facilities, transport, energy and water.

The fleet operator needing live GPS

Do you need native, first-party GPS and BLE on your fleet and high-value gear?

Choose MapTrack. Gearbelt uses QR-code identification and integrates third-party GPS trackers and telematics you sync (no first-party GPS hardware). MapTrack ships its own GPS trackers, BLE beacons and 150+ telematics, fleet and fuel-card data sources - native rather than dependent on trackers you bring yourself.

How MapTrack and Gearbelt compare on features

Which has independent customer reviews?

MapTrack has G2 + Capterra reviews under its own name. Gearbelt has 0 + 0 under its brand as of Jun 2026.

As of Jun 2026, Gearbelt has zero independent reviews under its own brand: 0 reviews on Capterra (listing at capterra.com/p/10027085/Gearbelt was refreshed 2026-03-13 but no verified users have published) and no dedicated G2 reviews page (only a competitors/alternatives stub). Sitemate parent reviews are for Dashpivot (~75 Capterra, 28 G2) - not Gearbelt. This is a meaningful gap for B2B buyers: there is no third-party voice-of-customer to validate the asset management claims. MapTrack has G2 + Capterra review presence under its own name, with customer quotes and verified outcomes published publicly.

Standalone vs bundled - which fits your stack?

MapTrack is a standalone purpose-built asset platform. Gearbelt depth requires the Dashpivot + Flowsite bundle.

Gearbelt is a tile in Sitemate's bundled suite (Dashpivot for forms + Gearbelt for assets + Flowsite for integrations). The 'Atlassian-style suite for the Built World' framing means standalone Gearbelt capability is intentionally light - depth comes from bundling. Custom forms route through Dashpivot. Integrations route through Flowsite. For teams already committed to Dashpivot for site forms, the bundle is the natural fit. For teams that want a standalone purpose-built asset platform without committing to the broader suite, MapTrack is the standalone alternative - no bundle dependency, full asset platform depth in a single product.

Which has reservations and planning?

MapTrack has built-in reservations + planning standard. Gearbelt has neither documented (not stated either way).

We found no equipment-reservation feature or first-class planning calendar UI documented for Gearbelt as of Jun 2026, and Sitemate does not state one either way. PM scheduling exists with calendar intervals (usage, hours, calendar-based), but a true planning calendar to reserve assets by job, see availability across the fleet, or avoid double-booking conflicts is not surfaced publicly. MapTrack has built-in reservations and a planning view standard on all plans. For built-world contractors juggling shared equipment across multiple sites and crews, confirm Gearbelt's reservation handling in a pilot.

Which has live GPS tracking?

MapTrack ships its own GPS + BLE + 150+ telematics, fleet and fuel-card data sources. Gearbelt relies on third-party GPS trackers you sync.

Gearbelt uses QR-code identification for tools as its primary mechanism, and Sitemate states you can 'sync your GPS trackers' and 'integrate with telematics' for real-time vehicle and equipment location (sitemate.com/software/gearbelt/). It has no first-party GPS hardware of its own - live location depends on third-party GPS trackers and telematics you bring and connect, plus scan-time QR capture. BLE beacon support is not publicly confirmed. MapTrack ships its own native GPS trackers (including ultra long-life battery units) + BLE beacons + 150+ telematics, fleet and fuel-card data sources (Geotab, Trimble, John Deere, Caterpillar, Komatsu and more). The real contrast: MapTrack gives you native, first-party GPS and BLE out of the box, where Gearbelt depends on third-party trackers you source and integrate yourself.

Which has AI features?

MapTrack ships AI asset creation + AI form builder. Gearbelt has no AI features marketed.

As of Jun 2026, Gearbelt has no AI features marketed - no AI photo recognition for asset creation, no anomaly detection, no AI summaries, no AI form builder - and Sitemate does not document an AI roadmap for Gearbelt either way. MapTrack ships AI-assisted asset creation from photo (snap a photo, AI fills in make/model/serial fields) + AI form builder (describe the inspection workflow in plain English, MapTrack drafts the form). For teams onboarding hundreds of assets quickly, AI is a meaningful time-saver.

How do maintenance and work orders compare?

Both platforms have native PM and work orders. MapTrack adds meter-driven PM from 150+ telematics, fleet and fuel-card data sources.

Both platforms support work orders and preventive maintenance. Gearbelt has fault-to-WO conversion, automated PM based on usage, hours or calendar intervals, and overdue notifications. Custom forms route through Dashpivot for inspection workflows. MapTrack has native work orders tied to assets with failed-inspection-to-WO escalation, meter-driven PM from 150+ telematics, fleet and fuel-card data sources (engine hours, odometer, fault codes auto-trigger maintenance) and native structured inspections with a custom form builder - all in one product without the Dashpivot bundle.

Which keeps your AU data in Australia?

MapTrack is hosted on AWS Sydney with AU data residency + AS/NZS-aware templates. Gearbelt is Sydney-HQ but commitment not surfaced.

Gearbelt has Sydney HQ via Sitemate Technologies (Sydney AU); AU enterprise customers via the parent (Boral, John Holland, Downer, Transgrid, Siemens Energy); but public data residency commitment is not surfaced on the Gearbelt product page or pricing page. AS/NZS template support depends on Dashpivot bundling rather than being native to the asset module. MapTrack is Australian-founded, hosted on AWS Sydney with AU data residency by default; regional hosting options are available on Enterprise. Plus AS/NZS-aware templates you adapt to your standard (test-and-tag intervals per AS/NZS 3760, EWP and SWP prestart regimes, AS 3760 electrical inspection cadence); MapTrack does not certify conformance.

How do the pricing models compare?

Both platforms price per asset with unlimited users. Compare quotes for your asset count and what each tier includes.

Gearbelt is priced per asset, per month, with users free and unlimited - Sitemate states it never charges for users (sitemate.com/software/gearbelt/pricing/, as of Jul 2026); get a per-asset quote from Sitemate for current rates. MapTrack uses the same model: per-asset pricing with unlimited users included, so operators, supervisors, subcontractors and managers get access at no per-seat cost on either platform. That makes the pricing model a point of parity, not a differentiator. The comparison comes down to what is included for your asset count: MapTrack bundles unlimited files, scans, documents, forms, alerts and automations, has no lock-in contracts, ships its own GPS trackers and BLE beacons, and includes reservations and AI features. Model both quotes against your asset mix.

Which is better: MapTrack or Gearbelt?

MapTrack wins for teams that want a standalone purpose-built asset platform with multi-industry depth (built-world + councils + facilities + transport + energy + water), reservations, native first-party GPS + BLE + 150+ telematics data sources, AI features, AWS Sydney AU data residency, and an independently reviewed product on G2 and Capterra under its own name. Gearbelt is a strong choice for AU built-world contractors already using Dashpivot for site forms who want an asset add-on inside the Sitemate suite - and who are comfortable syncing third-party GPS/telematics for location and do not need independent reviews, documented reservations or AI for now.

Frequently asked questions: MapTrack vs Gearbelt

Gearbelt is the rebranded Nomad Fleet asset management product, acquired by Sydney-based Sitemate Technologies Pty Ltd in August 2024 (acquisition terms not publicly disclosed). It sits inside Sitemate's 'Atlassian-style suite for the Built World' alongside Dashpivot (forms/processes) and Flowsite (no-code integrations). Founded as Nomad Fleet in 2023 via Startmate Winter 2023 accelerator. Pricing: per asset, per month, with users free and unlimited - Sitemate states Gearbelt is never priced per user (sitemate.com/software/gearbelt/pricing/, as of Jul 2026); check that page for current per-asset rates. Parent Sitemate has raised ~$32M total (Crunchbase), including a Blackbird-led Series A in December 2024 (reported AUD $27.5M / USD $18M).

Gearbelt is Sitemate's product brand, not a separate legal entity. gearbelt.com is an auth-only login shell; the marketing surface lives at sitemate.com/software/gearbelt/. Standalone Gearbelt capability is intentionally light - depth comes from bundling with Dashpivot (custom forms, document control) and Flowsite (integrations like Xero). MapTrack is a standalone purpose-built asset platform with no bundle dependency.

No - as of Jun 2026, Gearbelt has 0 reviews on G2 and 0 reviews on Capterra under its own brand. The Capterra listing exists (capterra.com/p/10027085/Gearbelt, refreshed 2026-03-13) but no verified users have published. G2 only has a competitors/alternatives stub page for Gearbelt. The Sitemate parent has ~75 Capterra reviews and 28 G2 reviews - but those are for Dashpivot (forms product), not Gearbelt (assets product). MapTrack has G2 + Capterra reviews under its own name.

Not publicly confirmed. We found no documented equipment-reservation feature or first-class planning calendar UI for Gearbelt as of Jun 2026, and Sitemate does not document one either way. PM scheduling exists with calendar intervals, but a true planning calendar UI to reserve assets by job, see availability across the fleet, or avoid double-booking conflicts is not surfaced publicly. MapTrack has built-in reservations and a planning view standard on all plans.

Gearbelt uses QR-code identification for tools, and Sitemate states you can 'sync your GPS trackers' and 'integrate with telematics' for real-time vehicle and equipment location (sitemate.com/software/gearbelt/). It has no first-party GPS hardware of its own - location comes from third-party GPS trackers and telematics you connect, plus scan-time QR capture. BLE beacon support is not publicly confirmed. MapTrack ships its own GPS trackers (including ultra long-life battery units), BLE beacons and 150+ telematics, fleet and fuel-card data sources - so live location is native rather than dependent on third-party trackers you bring yourself.

Both platforms are priced per asset, not per user. Gearbelt is priced per asset, per month, with users free and unlimited - Sitemate states it never charges for users (sitemate.com/software/gearbelt/pricing/, as of Jul 2026). We do not restate dollar rates here; get a per-asset quote from Sitemate for current pricing. A Gearbelt free trial is available (length unspecified). MapTrack is also priced per asset with unlimited users, files, scans, documents, forms, alerts and automations included, no lock-in contracts and a 30-day free trial. Because the pricing models match, compare like-for-like quotes for your asset count and what each tier includes - native GPS trackers and BLE beacons, telematics integrations, reservations and AI features are where the platforms differ.

As of Jun 2026 we found no AI features marketed for Gearbelt - no AI photo recognition for asset creation, no anomaly detection, no AI summaries, no AI form builder - and Sitemate does not document an AI roadmap for Gearbelt either way. MapTrack ships AI-assisted asset creation from photo + AI form builder today.

Sitemate, the parent company behind Gearbelt, publicly documents SOC 2 certification on its security page and help centre (audited by Sensiba LLP), with the report available on request. ISO 27001 is not publicly confirmed for Sitemate or Gearbelt as of Aug 2026, and whether the Gearbelt module is in scope of the SOC 2 report is not publicly stated, so confirm both with Sitemate. An explicit AU data residency commitment is not surfaced publicly. MapTrack is pursuing SOC 2 in 2026 (not yet certified), hosted on AWS Sydney with AU data residency, and regional hosting on Enterprise.
