The short version

  • 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); Carvana as archived in December 2019, Carvana limits its money-back guarantee to a 7-day return window rather than offering open-ended returns, after which a purchased vehicle cannot be exchanged or refunded.
  • They diverge on capability: AutoiPacket covers Online showroom, Carvana covers Online marketplace.
