Pricing
Simple, transparent pricing.
Two plans, both in Canadian dollars, all data included. No setup fees. No per-appraisal charges. No contracts. We spent over 30 years and 10,000 appraisals doing it the hard way — so we priced TradeBasis the way we always wished these tools were priced.

The number, the comp set, and the competition — on one screen
This is the view dealers stop on. A live appraisal with the market average, the adjusted value, the suggested offer, and the actual competing dealer listings you're pricing against — every comparable clickable down to the source ad. No black box. No "trust the algorithm." Just the evidence behind the number.
Every comparable in the set is a real Canadian dealer listing — clickable to the source ad, with asking price, mileage, and distance. Exclude an outlier and the number recalculates live.

What you're actually paying for
Canadian market data, not a US feed with a currency toggle
Most appraisal tools are US platforms with a CAD conversion, pulling from a single listing portal and calling it market data. TradeBasis pulls listings directly from dealer websites across Canada — the actual asking prices, not just what's on one classified site — plus wholesale feeds and our own Canadian trim-aware VIN decoder. Postal code radius search, CAD pricing, provincial market conditions. Built here, for dealers here.
All data included — no per-data-source upcharges
Some tools start cheap and then charge you incrementally for each data book you add. TradeBasis is one flat price with everything included at each tier. The $99 you see is the $99 you pay. The $499 you see is the $499 you pay.
Unlimited appraisals, no per-lookup metering
Run one appraisal a week or a hundred a day — the price is the same. No per-VIN charges, no lookup credits to ration, no surprise overage at the end of the month.
One better appraisal pays for the year
One better number per month — even $500 closer to right — covers the entire annual cost. Most dealers tell us they see the difference on their first deal. The tool isn't an expense; it's the cheapest insurance you'll buy against overpaying for inventory.

What's the difference between Lite and Pro?
Lite ($99 CAD/month, 1 user) covers fast, accurate VIN-based appraisals: live Canadian market data, trim-aware comp sets, mileage and velocity adjustments, and one-click competitor ad views. Pro ($499 CAD/month, up to 10 users) adds the full appraisal worksheet, reconditioning cost tracking, printable trade walk-down reports, the Workbench KPI dashboard, inventory management, and appraisal history and search.
Are there per-appraisal charges?
No. Both plans include unlimited appraisals. You pay one flat monthly price; there is no per-appraisal or per-lookup charge.
Is TradeBasis priced in US or Canadian dollars?
Canadian dollars. Both plans are billed in CAD. TradeBasis was built in Canada for Canadian dealers, with Canadian data sources and CAD pricing — not a US tool with a currency conversion.
Can I upgrade from Lite to Pro later?
Yes. You can upgrade from Lite to Pro any time and your data carries over. Start with Lite for fast appraisals and move to Pro when you need recon tracking, printable client reports, inventory management, and a team dashboard.
Do you offer a free trial?
TradeBasis does not run a free trial. Sign up online in under two minutes, start appraising immediately, and cancel any time if it isn't right for your operation. There is no contract holding you in.
