How Matrix’s range stacks up on price, features and recovery, and who each product suits.

TrackerPrices SA is an independent comparison site. We are not Matrix and are not affiliated with it, so we cannot access your account, log you in or cancel a contract for you. Facts on this page were checked against official Matrix sources in September 2026; the provider’s own website is always the final word.

Quick answer: Matrix is our top pick for choice and value: Beame is one of the cheapest insurer-approved recovery options at R99, Gold adds analytics and a panic button, and the Matrix Vision dashcam brings AI video safety that few rivals match at R359.

Silver (R219)	★★★★☆	Live tracking and app, monitored recovery
Gold (R239)	★★★★☆	Analytics, crash assist, panic button
