The short version

  • Each has a real cost: ProDemand the initial subscription term is 12 or 24 months and the subscription cannot be cancelled by the customer during that initial period; 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)
  • They diverge on capability: ProDemand covers Work order management, AutoiPacket covers Online showroom.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

ProDemand

  • The initial subscription term is 12 or 24 months and the subscription cannot be cancelled by the customer during that initial period
  • After the initial term the subscription renews automatically month to month and cancelling requires 30 days notice
  • Mitchell 1 reserves the right to change pricing on notice before each rental renewal period
  • Billing is monthly with payment due within 30 calendar days of the invoice date
  • No subscription price is published on the ProDemand product pages; ordering routes to a separate storefront

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)
