TL;DR

What did @RoryTyer use Claude Desktop for?

A small business owner used Claude's research feature to find vehicle tracking services priced for a three-truck crew. They say Claude found a couple of services built for a three-truck team that give them what they need without paying for a bigger plan.

What they did

The owner's landscaping team has only three trucks, and most tracking services are priced for bigger fleets. They ran a detailed research prompt in Claude Desktop with the research feature on, which returns a long report built from many sources.

How it went

Worth knowing

  • They suggest asking for footnotes or in-line citations so you can check the report for made-up details. The post doesn't name the services.
  • Price check: Claude: free plan; Pro: US$20/month, or US$17/month on a yearly plan (US$200/year) (checked Nov 1, 2026).
