The short version

  • Only Edmunds has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: AllData pricing is not published and requires contacting the vendor; Edmunds edmunds' Dealership API terms of use limit cached API content to 30 days, after which it must be purged, and forbid copying, storing or archiving content beyond that window, per the vendor's own developer terms.
  • They diverge on capability: AllData covers OEM repair procedures, Edmunds covers Vehicle reviews.
