Dealer websites shouldn't cost hundreds per month
The dealer website industry was built for franchise groups with big budgets. Platforms like DealerOn, Dealer Inspire, and Dealer.com charge $200-$500/month because their customers are multi-location franchises spending millions on marketing.
If you're an independent dealer with 10–75 active vehicle listings, you don't need an enterprise platform. You need a fast, professional website with your inventory online - and you shouldn't have to pay enterprise prices for it. That's exactly what AutoFire delivers.

Every paid plan adds lead capture, custom domains, CARFAX integration, and marketplace feeds, priced by inventory capacity: Starter $59.99/mo (25 active vehicles), Pro $99.99/mo (75 active vehicles), Growth $199/mo (200 active vehicles), Ultra (custom terms). There are no setup fees, no contracts, and you can cancel anytime.
Is there a free dealership website option?
Yes. Every dealership first gets 30 days of Pro with no card required. Afterward, the Free plan keeps your website online with up to 10 vehicle listings, a custom subdomain (yourdealership.goautofire.com), and SEO-optimized vehicle pages for as long as you need.
What do other dealership website platforms cost?
Most dealer website platforms start at $99-$300/month. DealerWebsites.com starts at $49/month, Carsforsale.com at $99/month, and enterprise platforms like DealerOn and Dealer Inspire charge $200-$500/month or more. None of them offer a genuine free plan with inventory.
Are there any hidden fees or contracts?
No. AutoFire has no setup fees, no annual contracts, and no hidden charges. You pay $0/month on the free plan or a fixed monthly price on a paid plan, starting at $59.99. Cancel anytime with no penalty.
What do I get for free vs. what requires Pro?
The free plan includes up to 10 vehicle listings, a custom subdomain, SEO-optimized pages with schema markup, VIN decoding, and basic customization. Every paid plan adds more active vehicle listings (25 to 200, or custom on Ultra), lead capture forms, test drive scheduling, custom domains, CARFAX integration, AI inventory chat, LotIQ, FireCompare, and feeds for Facebook, Cars.com, AutoTrader, and CarGurus. The Google inventory export requires provider mapping and validation; Google approval and ad spend are separate.
Can I start free and upgrade later?
Yes. Every dealer starts with 30 days of Pro and no card required. Choose a paid plan when the trial ends, or continue on the Free plan with your existing inventory and site - no rebuilding required.
