Read the currency column before you compare. Every figure above is that vendor's own published price in that vendor's own currency, and we have not converted any of them, because a converted price is a number they never quoted. BiT, Shift and EverLogic publish in US dollars, Motorcentral in New Zealand dollars. Ours is the row marked AUD.
Where we lose: BiT is the one that genuinely competes on price. Their entry configuration at two users and two modules is the cheapest line in this table in its own currency, and for a dealer buying in US dollars that is a real advantage we are not going to talk around. Add their third module and three more users and the gap closes the other way. If two users across two departments is your business, they may well be the right answer.
Pricing questions
Is that the whole price?
Almost. One user is included, and each additional user is $20 a month. That is the list. There is no setup fee, no training fee, no charge for the mobile app, no minimum term and no penalty for leaving. Standard data migration is included if you pay yearly. On a monthly plan it is quoted first, and a complex migration is scoped with a fixed number before you commit either way. The three year table above is there because in this category the monthly figure is rarely the whole price, and ours is.
What does an extra user cost?
Every plan includes one user. Each additional user is $20 a month. Still pending: whether technicians who only clock on and off can be free seats. If they can, it removes the single most common pricing objection in this category permanently.
Do you charge for SMS?
Text messages are charged per message, not as a monthly fee. They are bought as credits when you want them rather than as a commitment, and we confirm the rate for your country before you switch anything on. Reminders, job updates and pickup notices all come out of the same credits.
What happens at the end of the free trial?
Nothing automatic. There is no credit card on file, so it stops unless you choose to continue. If you do continue, the data you entered during the trial stays where it is.
