Vehiso vs SpidersNet
Vehiso ships a modern dealer website and a full DMS in 5 minutes from £49/month, with workshop, branded social posting, online payments, and MTD-ready Xero, QuickBooks, and Sage accounting included as standard. Here is how it compares to SpidersNet. Vehiso now has a free forever plan too, with paid plans from £49/month.
Vehiso is the modern, all-in-one car dealer platform: a customisable website, a full DMS, workshop management, branded social posting, AI tools, online payments, and MTD-ready Xero, QuickBooks, and Sage accounting integrations included from £49/month. It supports single-site, multi-location, used and new car dealerships - with self-serve onboarding so you can be live in 5 minutes. SpidersNet is an award-winning UK provider whose Autopromotor DMS pairs bespoke-built websites with automated vehicle video and automatic Facebook and Instagram posting, but pricing is package-based on enquiry, onboarding is provider-led, and native AI tools are not part of the core product.

Why dealers pick Vehiso
Transparent, published pricing
Vehiso publishes pricing from £49/month covering the website, DMS, workshop, branded social posting, online payments, MTD-ready accounting, and the visual website editor, with the full DMS in every plan. SpidersNet prices in packages on enquiry, so a like-for-like depends on a quote.
Native AI, not just automation
SpidersNet does automated vehicle video and social posting well, and Vehiso can post to social automatically too. Vehiso goes further with native AI vehicle descriptions, AI background replacement, and an in-app AI assistant with daily recommendations. SpidersNet has none of these natively.
Live in 5 minutes
Sign up, brand the site, push your stock, and go live the same day - no build queue and no sales call. SpidersNet websites are bespoke-built and onboarding is provider-led.
Provenance checks that stay with the car
Connect your own MotorCheck trade account and run history, specification and condition alert checks without leaving Vehiso. Each report files itself against the car it is about and downloads as a PDF. MotorCheck bills the checks at your own trade rates and Vehiso adds nothing per check.
Bring your current look with you
Switching usually means starting from a blank page and rebuilding everything you had already got right. Point Vehiso's bespoke theme designer at your existing SpidersNet site and it reads your pages for tone, services and selling points, then designs a theme to your brief that still sounds and looks like you. Or pick one of 18 core themes instead.
