The short version

  • Each has a real cost: vAuto pricing is not published for inventory management tools; the site directs buyers to request a demo or call for a quote; 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: vAuto covers Live market pricing, AutoiPacket covers Online showroom.
