AutoLeap Pricing: Plans, Fees and the Fine Print
By Mario Martell, founder of Wrench Node. Published November 11, 2026.
AutoLeap's monthly prices are published, but the full cost isn't: there's a setup fee with no listed amount, no free trial, and contract terms you only see when you sign. Here's everything we could confirm. We make Wrench Node, a lower-priced alternative, and we'll show where it fits at the end.
Prices are from autoleap.com/pricing as of November 2026. Prices change, so check their site before you decide.

Two-way texting and the labor guide are in Pro, so most working shops end up at $349/mo on monthly billing. Some extras, like maintenance schedules and diagrams, are listed with an added fee on some tiers.
Fees that aren't on the price tag
- One-time setup fee. AutoLeap's FAQ confirms it covers implementation, migration and training. The amount isn't published.
- AutoLeap AIR, the AI receptionist: $99/mo extra.
- Marketing suite, payments and multi-shop: listed as add-ons without prices.
- No free trial. You see a demo, then sign.
Contract terms
AutoLeap's pricing page doesn't spell out contract length. Independent reviews, including Shop Tech Score (July 2026), describe annual agreements that renew for another 12 months unless you cancel about 60 days before the end date. Several shop owners in public reviews say they missed that window and had to pay out the next year.
Before you sign anything, ask for these in writing: contract length, the cancellation notice period, the setup fee amount and your card processing rate.

Is AutoLeap worth it?
AutoLeap has strong marketing tools and a hands-on setup, and some shops like having the system built for them. If you want that and you're comfortable with an annual agreement, it's a real option.
If you'd rather try before you buy, pay month to month and leave whenever you want, it's a harder fit. Its prices also sit almost exactly on top of Tekmetric's, so compare the two side by side in our Tekmetric vs AutoLeap comparison.
Where Wrench Node fits
- Pro, $79/mo: unlimited users, English and Spanish, month to month, no setup fee.
- Premium, $129/mo: live supplier price and stock inside the repair order, Mitchell 1 labor times and maintenance intervals.
- An AI receptionist is included, not a $99 add-on. It answers when nobody can pick up and puts the request in Wrench Node.
- 14-day free trial and free migration.
