Starting price, true customer self-booking, team capacity, device fit, routing and vehicle workflow—side by side. Eight products also participate in DetailerFit's evidence-weighted Match Score.
Purpose-built for detailers, with vehicle-based pricing, deposits and reminders. Starter adds a published 1% DetailPilot fee on payments.

Mature general field-service option with booking, automation and documented route optimization on Connect/Grow/Plus.
Vehicle-first option for VIN scanning, estimating and documentation. Native customer self-booking and route optimization are not treated as confirmed.
Detailing-oriented quoting, invoicing and internal scheduling with deeper automation and customer booking on higher tiers.
Strong entry economics with automation, Dispatch Map and Auto Routing. The full field experience remains Apple-first.
Automotive-focused CRM with deposits, texting, automation and vehicle history. Route optimization and VIN scanning are not treated as confirmed.
Automotive-specialist workflow with mapping/routing, VIN barcode scanning, Carfax integration and unlimited users.
Booking-first option for turning website traffic into appointments. Included here for context; not currently part of the normalized Match Score set.

Booking, automation, vehicle history, price and team capacity.
Compare →Entry price, customer booking, dispatch, routing, AI and team economics.
Compare →Automotive workflow, booking, routing and user limits.
Compare →Lower-cost detailing fit vs broader field-service depth.
Compare →Job-volume pricing, booking, team cost, routing and device fit.
