Companies looking to offer their employees the Deutschlandticket as a Jobticket quickly come across two names: NAVIT and Jobticket+ (by AllRide GmbH). Both promise a digital, tax-optimised solution – but where do the differences lie, and which one is the better fit for your company?
This comparison is based on publicly available information (as of March 2026). Figures are indicative – please consult a tax advisor.
Brief Profile: Who's Behind Each?
NAVIT is a Berlin-based mobility platform offering far more than just the Deutschlandticket: mobility budget, bike leasing, public transport reimbursement, fuel and EV charging, car subscription. The Deutschlandticket is one of many products. Target audience: companies seeking a comprehensive corporate mobility strategy.
Jobticket+ (TicketPlus+ by AllRide GmbH) is a specialist for the Deutschlandticket as a Jobticket. The focus is entirely on this product – with maximum tax optimisation, automated HR onboarding and a unique pause feature.
1. Funding Models
This is one of the most important differences:
| Model | NAVIT | Jobticket+ |
|---|---|---|
| 100% Employer Subsidy (§3 No. 15 EStG) | ✓ | ✓ |
| Salary Conversion (§40 Para. 2 Sentence 2 No. 1 EStG) | ✗ not available | ✓ |
| Split Pay (§3 No. 15 EStG, min. 25%) | ✓ | ✓ |
NAVIT offers two models: 100% employer subsidy and split pay.
Jobticket+ offers all three – including salary conversion. This is crucial: with salary conversion, the employee waives €63 of gross salary, the employer taxes it at a flat 15% and simultaneously saves on social security contributions. Result: the employer generates a net profit of +€1.71/month per employee – and the employee effectively pays only ~€38 net for their ticket.
The salary conversion model is entirely absent from NAVIT – a significant disadvantage for companies wanting to offer a strong benefit at zero cost.
2. Direct Cost Comparison for Employers
Split Pay (employer pays minimum 25%)
| Cost item | NAVIT | Jobticket+ |
|---|---|---|
| Employer share (25% × €63) | €15.75 | €15.75 |
| Platform fee | €1.90/employee/month | €1.00/employee/month |
| Total employer cost | €17.65/employee/month | €16.75/employee/month |
Salary Conversion
| NAVIT | Jobticket+ | |
|---|---|---|
| Net employer cost | not available | +€1.71/month profit |
Jobticket+'s platform fee of €1/employee/month is significantly lower than NAVIT's (€1.90/employee/month). With 20 employees over 12 months, that's a saving of €216/year from the fee difference alone.
Example calculation for salary conversion: Bavaria, €3,000 gross, tax class I. Figures are indicative.
3. Feature Comparison
| Feature | NAVIT | Jobticket+ |
|---|---|---|
| Pause feature | ✗ | ✓ (up to 24h before month-end) |
| Vouchers / sharing credits | ✗ | ✓ (~€10/month tax-free: MILES, Bolt, TIER, dott, Lime) |
| HR integrations | ✓ | ✓ (53+ systems: Personio, SAP, Workday…) |
| Automated on-/offboarding | ✓ | ✓ fully automated |
| Digital ticket (app) | ✓ | ✓ |
| Express checkout | n/a | ✓ Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal |
| Ticket issuance time | n/a | ✓ in 30 seconds |
| €20 new customer bonus | ✗ | ✓ |
| Mobility budget (beyond DT) | ✓ | ✗ |
| Bike leasing | ✓ | ✗ |
Pause Feature: An Underestimated Cost Factor
27% of all users pause their Deutschlandticket – on average 1 month per year. Without a pause feature, employees pay €63 for a month they don't use the ticket. NAVIT does not offer this feature. With Jobticket+, employees can pause their subscription up to 24 hours before month-end – in the following month, they pay nothing.
Vouchers: ~€10 in Monthly Added Value
Jobticket+ users receive vouchers worth ~€10 every month for sharing services (MILES, Bolt, TIER, dott, Lime). These are tax-free under §8 Para. 1 Sentence 3 EStG up to the €50 fringe benefit exemption. NAVIT does not offer this benefit.
4. HR Integrations & Setup
Both providers offer HR integrations – Jobticket+ with 53+ connected systems (including Personio, SAP SuccessFactors, Workday, BambooHR, HiBob).
With Jobticket+, setup takes under 5 minutes, is entirely digital and requires no IT knowledge. Digital supplementary employment contract agreements (required for salary conversion) are generated automatically. Employees receive their ticket in 30 seconds after activation.
5. Which Provider is Right for You?
NAVIT – when mobility means more than the Deutschlandticket
NAVIT makes sense when your company needs a comprehensive mobility strategy: bike leasing, mobility budget, public transport reimbursement and the Deutschlandticket in one platform. If you want everything from a single source, NAVIT is a solid choice.
Jobticket+ – when the Deutschlandticket is the focus
Jobticket+ wins clearly when the goal is the Deutschlandticket as a Jobticket:
- Only provider with salary conversion – employer pays €0 and earns +€1.71/month
- Lower platform fee – €1 instead of €1.90/employee/month
- Pause feature – NAVIT does not offer this
- Monthly vouchers (~€10) – additional tax-free benefit at no extra cost
- €20 new customer bonus for each new employee
- Fastest setup – under 5 minutes, ticket active in 30 seconds
Conclusion: Jobticket+ Recommended
For companies wanting to offer the Deutschlandticket as a Jobticket, Jobticket+ is the better provider – in almost every dimension: cheaper, more funding models, pause feature, vouchers and faster setup.
NAVIT is the right choice when the Deutschlandticket is just one part of a larger, cross-platform corporate mobility strategy.
