    Published pricing and purchase terms

    Essentials/Pro/Elite display $179/$309/$409 per month beside $199/$349/$449 amounts under an annual-billing selector. Confirm monthly versus annual invoice terms directly rather than treating both sets as the same offer. Enterprise and add-ons require a quote.

    Compare the complete cost, not the starting price

    Confirm AutoLeap billing terms and include migration and payment fees for both.

    Use the same job in both demonstrations

    1. Create a representative unit and repair, including mileage/engine hours where relevant, inspection photos and an estimate revision.
    2. Assign two technicians, issue an in-stock part, order a missing part and capture labor across more than one day.
    3. Obtain a sample customer authorization, complete an invoice and reconcile the payment or fleet statement without sending a live request.
    4. Export the completed history and an open repair. Confirm attachments, accounting totals, permissions and contract exit terms.

    Frequently asked

    Is Shop-Ware better than AutoLeap?

    It depends on your shop. Shop-Ware (Cloud shop management for independents) and AutoLeap (Modern auto repair shop management) serve different needs. Confirm current pricing and features with each vendor; Repairius does not verify third-party prices.

    Can I use Repairius alongside Shop-Ware or AutoLeap?

    You can keep other services while using Repairius. Repairius offers a free basic listing and website with booking requests; advanced management tools require the appropriate paid plan. This does not imply an integration with either vendor or guarantee inquiry volume.

    Can I replace both with one tool?

    It depends on what you use each one for. Repairius combines a free directory listing with booking requests and, on a paid plan, dispatch, estimates and invoicing. Some shops keep Shop-Ware or AutoLeap alongside Repairius — compare your current contracts before cancelling anything.
