Why DealerPricing ranks No. 1: everything in one subscription
Most dealers end up paying for a valuation guide, a marketplace package and a separate history check account. DealerPricing puts all of it in one tool. Here is what one subscription includes, and which of the other tools list the same or a similar feature.

|---|---|---|
| Whole-of-market similar listings | Similar cars for sale across UK dealers, not one marketplace | Also listed by: Cazana. Autotrader compares against stock advertised on Autotrader only |

How we ranked them
The ranking is for UK car dealers and motor traders who need to know what to pay for a car and what it will sell for. The criteria, most important first:
- Everything in one subscription. Valuations, market data, vehicle checks, service history and spec in one tool, so a dealer does not pay for, and switch between, several systems.
- Whole-of-market data. Similar cars for sale across UK dealers, not just one marketplace, plus cars that have sold and how long they took to sell.
- A price you can see, no long contract. A published monthly price with VAT, contract length and lookup allowance clear, and online sign-up you can stop when trade is quiet.
- Help deciding what to pay. Valuations, a retail rating, days to sell and a retail calculator that handles VAT, so the margin is clear before you buy.
- Extras. Stock tools, market insights and use from an AI assistant.
