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); Tekion the Internet Archive's capture of Tekion's homepage on 22 January 2021 stated the platform carries a 30-day cancellation notice rather than a long-term contract lock-in, and charges zero integration fees to OEM and ecosystem partners; no price figure was published, only 'Request Demo'.
  • They diverge on capability: AutoiPacket covers Online showroom, Tekion covers Cloud-native DMS.
