For independent lots
Shoot the car on a phone. List it like you own a studio.
Walk the lot with the phone in your pocket. Send the photos. Every one comes back relit and on the background you chose, with a vertical video and the written listing, in one folder you upload wherever you list. Four dollars and ninety-seven cents a vehicle. Nothing monthly, nothing to sign, and nobody to get on a call with first.
Thirty vehicles, twenty photos each
The same month, priced four ways.
Everyone else sells photos by the photo. We sell the vehicle: every photo of it, the video, and the written listing, for one price. Here is what one ordinary month costs on each.
| That month | Photos covered | Video | Listing copy | Commitment | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Outsourced editing | $1,350 to $3,600 | All 600 | No | No | Per job, plus turnaround time |
| CarPixAI | $149 | 500 of 600 | No | No | Monthly, self-serve |
| Spyne | $250 to $450 | Included | Yes | Not advertised | Monthly, billed annually, sales call first |
| Lotsmith | $149 | Up to 750 | Yes | Yes | Nothing recurring |
Competitor pricing checked August 2026 from their own published pages. CarPixAI bills by the photo ($19 for 50, $69 for 200, $149 for 500) and does exteriors and interiors only. Spyne is billed annually and does not sell self-serve. Outsourced editing is the published $45 to $120 per vehicle range. Prices move, and ours is not the one you should take on trust, so check theirs.
Where we are the wrong answer
Count your photos. Below fourteen a car, buy something else.
Everything turns on how many photos you take of each vehicle, so here is the arithmetic rather than an adjective. We are $4.97 a vehicle at the thirty pack. CarPixAI works out between 30 and 38 cents a photo depending on the tier. Divide one by the other and the line falls at roughly fourteen photos per vehicle.
Shoot eight photos of a car and they are cheaper than us, straightforwardly. Shoot twenty five, which is what a car actually needs if you are showing the dash, the odometer, the tires and the flaws, and one vehicle through us costs less than the photos alone cost there. The video and the written listing are not in their price at any volume, because they do not make them.
Two more places to go elsewhere. If you move two hundred cars a month, a flat subscription beats per-vehicle pricing and we will not pretend otherwise. And if you want a capture rig and a fixed process on the lot, that is CarCutter, which is a real advantage at scale and a real cost to set up. We take the photos you already have, on the phone in your pocket, in whatever light the lot had that afternoon.
What comes back
One upload. Three things you would otherwise buy separately.
Every photo, prepared
Relit, the scene cleaned up, and the vehicle standing on whichever of six backgrounds you picked for it. Up to 25 photos a vehicle, and they come back numbered in your upload order so they stay in sequence when you drop them into your site.
A vertical video
Cut from those same photos and sized for Marketplace, Reels, and TikTok. No filming, no editing, and no separate tool. It is in the folder when the photos are.
The written listing
A headline and description written from the facts you entered and nothing else. It will not invent a feature, a service record, or a warranty, because a walk-up that ends in an argument costs you more than a slow listing does.
What we never do
Nothing is posted, and nothing is connected.
Lotsmith does not read your website, does not sync your inventory, and has no connection to Marketplace, Craigslist, or anywhere else. It never asks for a password to anything you own.
You get a folder. Where it goes, and whether it goes anywhere, is your call. That is one fewer integration to maintain and one fewer account with your credentials in it.
Try it on your own inventory
Pick the car that has sat the longest.
Send us the photos you already took of it. The first vehicle is free and takes minutes, and you can judge the result against what is on your site right now. If it is not better, you have lost nothing and told us something useful.
