Vehiso vs Dragon2000
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 Dragon2000. 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 customizable 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.

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. Dragon2000 prices on inquiry, so a like-for-like depends on a quote.
AI and branded social, built in
AI vehicle descriptions, AI background replacement, and one-click branded posting to Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok ship as standard on every paid plan. Dragon2000 has none of these natively.
Live in 5 minutes
Sign up, brand the site, push your stock, and go live the same day - no sales call required. Dragon2000 onboarding is sales-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 Dragon2000 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.
