AutoFlip Pro pricing comes down to two numbers: $29.99 a month for Starter and $59.99 a month for Pro, both after a 7-day free trial. Put that next to one bad bid. Overpay a single lot by $300 and you've spent more than ten months of Starter.
This guide covers what the trial includes, what happens when it ends, how the two plans split, and how to pick one based on the lots you actually run. Every price and limit here comes from the live pricing page, checked in October 2026.
How the AutoFlip Pro Free Trial Works
AutoFlip Pro is an auto auction analysis tool for Copart and IAAI buyers. Every paid plan starts with a 7-day free trial, and a credit card is required to start it. You pick Starter or Pro at signup, so the trial runs on the plan you chose.
The card requirement is the part people skim past. The pricing page lists each plan as a monthly price after the 7-day trial. Treat day 8 as the day billing starts unless you cancel first.
You can cancel anytime from billing settings. Once you're on a paid month, access continues through the end of the current billing period. If you're still undecided on day 6, decide on day 6.
Set your defaults on day one
In Settings, two fields are required: Your Zipcode and Default Destination. The zipcode drives the local comparable listings behind market value. The destination drives the transport distance inside your max bid.
Set your Search Radius and Target Profit Margin too. The max bid calculator uses your margin directly, so a lazy number gives you a lazy max bid. Our guide to setting your search radius and profit targets walks through both.
Don't start the clock with an empty list. Have 5 to 10 real lot numbers or VINs from this week's Copart and IAAI sales ready before you sign up.
What Starter Gets You at $29.99 a Month
Starter is built for a flipper who checks a steady, limited number of lots and tracks wins in a watchlist. Per the pricing page, it includes:
- Up to 100 vehicle analyses per billing period (limit may vary)
- Full risk score and max bid calculator
- Auctions watchlist and dashboard
- Copart and IAAI import
- Shareable analysis links
The analysis cap is the number to watch. It resets each billing period, and the limit may vary, so check the pricing page before you plan a heavy month around it.
The risk score runs from 0 to 100 and starts at 70. Multiple Sold entries in a lot's sales history take 40 points off, which is how relisted cars get flagged. Read how AutoFlip risk scores are built before you trust any score blind.
Shareable links are view-only. Your mechanic or a co-investor sees the lot details, market values, risk score, and max bid without being able to change anything. If you stay comfortably under the cap and don't track repairs in software, Starter covers you.
What Pro Adds at $59.99 a Month
Pro is for the flipper who wins cars and then has to manage them. It removes the scan cap and adds the operations side of the business:
- Unlimited auction lot scans on Copart and IAAI
- Everything in Starter
- Portfolio pipeline and P&L tracking
- Repair tasks, parts, and shipment tracking
- Cross-vehicle parts inventory and vendors
- Mark won and manage the full flip
The Portfolio moves each car through 8 stages: In Transport, Delivered, First Inspection, In Repair, Final Inspection, Listed, Sold, and Holding. Repair tasks run from To Do to Done. Parts orders track from Not Ordered through Delivered.
Parts Inventory earns its keep once you have more than one car apart. A spare part pulled from one car can be marked Reserved for another before you order a new one. Here's how the Portfolio tracks a car from auction win to listed sale.
On Starter, the Portfolio, Parts Inventory, and Vendors pages show a lock and prompt an upgrade. If you regularly have two or more cars in repair at once, move to Pro. The extra $30 a month is cheaper than one double-ordered part.
Run the Plan Math Before You Pick
Here's a hypothetical. A part-time flipper checks about 12 lots a week across Copart and IAAI and wins one or two cars a month.
That's roughly 50 analyses a month, well inside Starter's cap. Starter at $29.99 fits, and the watchlist handles tracking until a car is won.
Now the same flipper scales to 35 lots a week. That's about 150 analyses a month, past the 100 cap. At that volume, Pro's unlimited scans and the Portfolio are the right call for $30 more.
Now compare either plan to auction fees. The free Copart fee calculator, which runs Copart's published US chart, shows $985 in fees on a $4,500 lot, as covered in our Copart fees breakdown. Forget the fees on that one lot and your max bid is off by more than two years of Starter.
Count last month's lots, not the lots you hope to check. Pick the plan that fits that number, and upgrade when the count changes.
A 7-Day Trial Plan That Gives You an Answer
Seven days goes fast if you only open the app once. Use a plan like this so you finish the week with a real decision:
- Day 1: Set your zipcode, destination, radius, and margin. Run 3 to 5 lots you already know the outcome on.
- Days 2 to 4: Analyze every lot you'd normally check and save the ones you like to the watchlist.
- Day 5: Send a shareable analysis link to whoever signs off on your bids.
- Day 6: Put the max bids next to the numbers in your spreadsheet. Note every lot where they disagree and why.
- On a Pro trial: Add a won car to the Portfolio, log a repair task, and enter one parts order with tracking.
If the tool hasn't changed or confirmed a single bid by day 6, cancel. If it caught one bad lot, it already paid for itself.
Try a Lot Free Before the Trial Clock Starts
You don't need the trial to see the analysis. The free analyzer gives you 3 scans per day with no sign-up, so you can run a free Copart or IAAI lot analysis before you bid.
Each free scan runs the lot pull, risk score, and max bid for a Copart, IAAI, or bid.cars lot. The free calculators on the free tools page also work without an account.
Test 2 or 3 lots you already know the outcome on. If the max bid lines up with what you'd have paid, start the trial. If not, read how to run your first analysis and check your inputs first.
Before You Start the Trial, Check This:
- You have 5 to 10 live lot numbers or VINs from upcoming sales.
- You know your target profit margin and the zipcode you sell from.
- You've picked a default destination for transport math.
- You've counted how many lots you analyzed last month.
- You'll mark lots Won or Lost, because unmarked analyses are deleted after 60 days.
- You've set a reminder for day 6.
- You've checked current prices and limits on the AutoFlip Pro pricing page.
Key takeaways
- Start the 7-day trial only when you have real lots to run, because a card is required and billing starts after the trial.
- Set your zipcode, destination, and target profit margin on day one so the max bid reflects your numbers.
- Choose Starter at $29.99 a month if you stay under its cap of up to 100 analyses (limit may vary) and don't track repairs.
- Choose Pro at $59.99 a month when you need unlimited Copart and IAAI scans or have several cars in repair.
- Use the free analyzer, 3 scans a day with no sign-up, to test the numbers before you start the clock.
