Compare the complete first-year cost
Use this practical checklist with your team. These are suggested actions, not promised results.
- List the rep count, store count, inventory volume, and channels in every quote. Separate posting from AI replies and booking.
- Calculate twelve months of subscriptions plus setup, add-ons, usage, and internal labor. Keep free-trial timing separate from setup payment timing.
- Use the current QUANTUM pricing page and each vendor's official quote. Avoid treating a promotional individual price as a dealership-wide package.
Use current vendor pricing
CARVID publishes automated posting from $249 per month and describes AI inbox options. Shiftly directs dealerships to a custom quote. Owini separates Vehicle Poster pricing from its broader CRM and AI packages. These observations were checked September 26, 2026; use the official links below to confirm the package.
Compare equivalent seat counts, included channels, service responsibilities, setup charges, and contract terms. A single-user promotion is not a dealership-wide quote.
Calculate total cost
Illustrative first-year cost for the QUANTUM five-rep Marketplace plus AI plan, before any trial adjustment, taxes, or additional services: 12 × $1,399 + $399 = $17,187. This is a cost example, not a projected return.
For your own comparison, add any advertising, usage charges, internal labor, and approved integrations. Then compare cost per qualified appointment and cost per attributed sale, not just cost per inquiry.
Separate the trial from activation
The 45-day trial is requested through a form that collects no card or payment. Trial dates, setup payment timing, and continuation terms are confirmed before activation. Submitting the form does not start a paid subscription.
