  • Each has a real cost: AutoiPacket autoiPacket now trades as iPacket (autoipacket.com redirects to ipacket.us, same legal entity AutoiPacket, LLC of Parkersburg, WV, confirmed by the site footer), and publishes no price anywhere on its site: access is sold only through a booked demo, with four separate named products (iPacket Digital Vehicle Presentations, iPacket Recon, iPacket OnTargeting, and OEM Window Stickers) each gated behind a sales call rather than a published rate (archived 19 November 2025); CARFAX for Dealers the App Store listing (publisher CARFAX, Inc.) states the app requires an existing CARFAX for Dealers business account login, so it cannot be evaluated or purchased as a standalone app without a separate commercial dealer contract already in place.
  • They diverge on capability: AutoiPacket covers Online showroom, CARFAX for Dealers covers Vehicle history reports.
