Tekmetric vs AutoLeap

Tekmetric and AutoLeap publish identical pricing — $179, $309 and $409 per month billed annually. The decision therefore turns on what isn't on the rate card: AutoLeap adds an unpublished one-time setup fee and limits a login to one device at a time, but ships the AIR AI receptionist; Tekmetric includes unlimited users, no setup fee, and self-guided product tours, but has no first-party phone tool.

Tekmetric vs AutoLeap: how do they compare?

Figures marked (est.) are third-party estimates, not vendor rate cards.
Dimension	Tekmetric	AutoLeap
Entry price (annual)	$179	$179
Top published tier	$409	$409
Users	Unlimited at every tier	Not stated; one device per login
Publishes pricing	Full rate card	Full rate card

Why is the pricing identical?

Both price three published tiers at $179, $309 and $409 per month billed annually, with a custom Enterprise tier above. On the rate card alone they are indistinguishable, which is exactly why the unpublished details decide it.

The catches that separate them

AutoLeap confirms a one-time setup fee but does not publish the amount, so first-year total cost is not comparable from public information — ask for it in writing. It also states a single login works from one device at a time, a real constraint for a front desk and a bay tablet sharing an account. In its favour, AutoLeap ships AIR, a $99/mo AI receptionist, and bundles marketing services.

Tekmetric includes unlimited users at every tier, advertises no setup fee, and offers publicly accessible self-guided tours — so a shop can evaluate it without a sales conversation. Its own catch is that two-way texting is gated to the $409 Scale tier, where AutoLeap includes it from Pro ($309).

Who should choose Tekmetric?

Shops that want a transparent, computable total cost, unlimited users, and to evaluate before talking to sales. See the full Tekmetric profile.

Who should choose AutoLeap?

Shops that want shop management, marketing services and a first-party AI receptionist from one vendor and are comfortable with a quoted onboarding cost — and bilingual (English/French) operations. See the full AutoLeap profile.

The third option: Autograff ShopOS

Autograff ShopOS lists $90–$300 with no setup fee, unlimited users, and an AI receptionist built into the Pro tier rather than sold as a separate AIR line or add-on quote, plus a connection to fleet repair work. It is newer than both incumbents with a smaller footprint. See the AI receptionists comparison and the pricing index.
