How Much Does Spyne Cost?
Short answer: Spyne doesn't publish prices — you get a tailored quote after a demo. Here's how the pricing structure works, what shapes your quote, and what to ask before you sign.
What Spyne's pricing page actually says
spyne.ai/pricing lists two tiers for its Automotive Retail Suite — Lite and Pro — with feature checklists but no published dollar amounts. In Spyne's own words, pricing is "tailored based on monthly inventory volume, number of rooftops, selected feature set." The buying process is sales-led: book a demo, get a walkthrough, receive a quote for your account.
That's the honest, complete answer to "how much does Spyne cost": there is no public number — your price depends on your dealership, and only Spyne's sales team can quote it.
What shapes your quote
- Monthly inventory volume — how many vehicles you photograph and merchandise per month.
- Number of rooftops — multi-location operations are quoted differently from a single lot.
- Feature set — background replacement is the base; 360 spins, video tours, window stickers, plate masking and DMS/marketplace publishing scale the scope up.
- Tier — Lite and Pro bundle different feature depths; which features sit in which tier is part of the sales conversation.
This model isn't unusual — it's how enterprise software is sold, and Spyne is a serious enterprise vendor (it announced a $16M Series A in February 2025 led by Vertex Ventures, with Accel and Storm Ventures participating). For franchise dealers and groups, a tailored quote with account management is often exactly the right fit.
What to ask in the demo
If you book the demo, walk out with these answered — in writing:
- What is the all-in monthly cost at my real inventory volume — including setup and onboarding fees?
- Exactly what's included in Lite vs Pro at my quote, and which demoed features are add-ons?
- What happens if my volume goes over or under the quoted amount — overage charges, or paying for capacity I don't use?
- What are the contract length and renewal terms, and what does changing plans mid-term look like?
- How long is onboarding — from signature to the first processed photos live on my listings?
- What are the delivery turnaround times for processed images at my volume?

Frequently asked questions
- How much does Spyne cost per month?
- Spyne doesn't publish prices. Its pricing page lists 'Lite' and 'Pro' tiers with feature checklists but no amounts — quotes are tailored to your monthly inventory volume, number of rooftops and selected feature set. The only way to get your number is to book a demo with Spyne's sales team and request a written quote for your specific volume.
- Does Spyne have a free trial or free plan?
- Not a self-serve one for the dealer suite. Spyne's automotive product is demo-gated: you book a call with sales, get a walkthrough and a tailored quote. That works well for larger dealer groups that buy through procurement, less well if you want to test a tool on your own inventory this afternoon.
- Why doesn't Spyne publish pricing?
- Quote-based pricing is standard for enterprise software: the vendor prices on account size and scope (inventory volume, rooftops, feature set, integrations) rather than a flat rate. It lets pricing match each account's needs, and it isn't unique to Spyne — Impel and CarCutter take the same approach. The trade-off lands on small buyers, who can't budget or compare without sales calls.
- What should I ask in a Spyne demo?
- Get the essentials in writing: the all-in monthly cost at your actual inventory volume, including any setup or onboarding fees; exactly which features are in Lite versus Pro at your quote; what happens if your volume goes over or under the quoted amount; contract length and renewal terms; and how long onboarding takes before your first processed photos.
- What are alternatives to Spyne with public pricing?
- CarPixAI ($29/$79/$149 per month, photos only, built for dealers, per carpixai.com/pricing) and Listiq AI (€49/€149/€299 per month for dealers, or €0.99 per photo for one-off use) both publish full pricing and are self-serve — no demo call required, cancel anytime.
