The short version

  • Only Edmunds has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • 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); 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: AutoiPacket covers Online showroom, Edmunds covers Vehicle reviews.
