The story
Founded in 2009 as a free traffic information and speed-trap alert app for Dutch drivers, Flitsmeister grew to over 3 million users across the Netherlands and Belgium. The company monetises primarily through PRO and PRO Plus subscription tiers while keeping the core app free. Truckmeister was introduced as a lorry-driver variant. Embedded finance involvement is limited to payment processing via Mollie for subscription billing.
