- You want labor guides, fluid specs and integrated parts ordering inside the estimate.
- You’re growing into multiple locations and want enterprise reporting across them.
When AutoSyncHQ makes more sense

- You want inspections that convert straight to priced job lines without paying an Elite-tier premium for the inspection experience.

- You’re a Canadian shop: GST/HST/PST/QST correct per province on every invoice, and pricing in CAD.
- You want to evaluate on your own: real 14-day trial, no card, no booked demo.
Common questions
AutoLeap is also popular with Canadian shops — why AutoSyncHQ?
AutoLeap is a good product with a Canadian footprint, but it prices in USD tiers and its most-used features — texting, inventory, QuickBooks — start at Pro, $349 USD/mo. AutoSyncHQ is built for the small Canadian independent: provincial tax done right, priced in CAD, everything in every tier.
What does AutoLeap have that AutoSyncHQ doesn’t?
Two-way texting, marketing campaigns and Google review tools, labor guides, CARFAX and parts ordering. If marketing automation is what you need most, AutoLeap earns its price. AutoSyncHQ covers the operating core, syncs to QuickBooks Online in every plan, and keeps it simple.
