Overview
What is Fleet?
Fleet is a Paris-based laptop subscription platform that brings real transparency to a category dominated by quote-only contracts. Roughly €37.50 per workstation per month gets you hardware, MDM enrollment, repairs, replacements, and an automated 3-year refresh - no down payment, no quote-and-credit dance.

The trade-offs
Pros & cons
What we like
- Truly transparent subscription pricing - no quote-and-credit dance
- Refurbished-first catalog lowers both cost and carbon footprint
- Automated 3-year refresh removes the purchase-order treadmill
- Repairs and replacements bundled, not separate warranty contracts
- Strong EU footprint with offices in Paris, Barcelona, Berlin, London
- Sustainability reporting increasingly required for ESG-conscious tenders
What to watch out for
- Subscription model can cost more than outright purchase over 5+ years
- Coverage outside EU and US still expanding - not for emerging-markets-heavy teams
- Less IT/MDM customization than enterprise DaaS for advanced setups
- Workspace ONE is the default MDM - other MDMs require custom setup

Fleet FAQ
Fleet starts at ~€37.50 per workstation per month for an Essential configuration. A 14-inch MacBook Pro M-series lands ~€99.90/month and a MacBook Air ~€54.90/month. Pricing is public on Fleet's site and includes hardware, MDM, repairs, and replacements - only security add-ons bill separately.
Over a 3-year horizon, outright purchase has lower hardware-only TCO. Fleet becomes competitive once you factor in repairs, replacements, and IT labor cost. Run a 36-month TCO comparison including help-desk time before deciding.
Fleet has a growing US presence and is expanding into the UK. APAC and LATAM aren't yet at scale. Companies with heavy non-Western hiring typically pick Deel IT Lease or GroWrk for those regions and use Fleet for European staff.
Fleet defaults to Omnissa Workspace ONE and bundles it into every subscription. If your team runs Jamf, Kandji, or Intune, Fleet can accommodate but requires custom setup - many customers run the bundled MDM rather than fight the default.
Fleet's automated 3-year refresh aligns well to the AI PC wave. Customers on existing 36-month subscriptions can refresh into AI PC class hardware at the standard refresh point, or negotiate early refresh at premium tier.
Yes - refurbished is core to Fleet's catalog and typically ~30% cheaper than new with the same MDM, repair, and replacement bundle. Strong fit for ESG-conscious buyers or B Corps.
Bottom line
Our verdict on Fleet
The most transparent subscription DaaS in the EU
Fleet is the DaaS we recommend most often to European startups and scale-ups that want laptops without capex, quote-only contracts, or vendor sprawl. The €37.50 starting point is real, the refurbished catalog is cheaper and greener, and the automated 3-year refresh removes a quiet operational tax.
