A free planner is not a free EWD

Q by Quallogi says the Q START fatigue planner is free. The EWD price on the same pricing notes is Owner Driver $0.80/shift (pay-as-you-go, min 50 shifts) or $0.72/shift on annual plan; Fleet Manager $1.00/shift (min 50) or $0.90/shift annual (per shift). Ex GST, as stated by the vendor.

Everyone else

The other systems either publish a paid price with no trial in the notes, or publish no dollar figure at all. Both are on the comparison, with the blank called Not published rather than guessed.

Is there a free NHVR-approved EWD app?

Netcorp EWD publishes a price of $0 and the pricing notes describe it as free forever, with no subscription or per-driver fee. It is on the register. A trial, or a free fatigue planner, is a different thing and is not counted here as a free EWD.
