Looking at Tecobi? Here's where iSellCars.ai fits
Both are text-first AI tools for selling cars. They're built for different rooms — and the honest move is to tell you which is which.
First, credit where it's due
Tecobi is an established AI lead follow-up platform for automotive dealerships. Its own site describes "AI that answers every lead and keeps every opportunity moving," lists a deep feature set — AI follow-up bots, SMS and call queues, desking, text broadcasting, attribution reporting — and displays a 4.9/5 Google rating from over seven hundred reviews. If you run a franchise store and want a full-department platform with managed services around it, Tecobi is a serious option, and nothing on this page pretends otherwise.
The plainest difference: who it's sized for
As published on tecobi.com/pricing (August 2026), Tecobi's reference plans run from $1,995 to $3,995 per month by dealership size, plus setup fees, with SMS volume included per tier — their site notes final pricing varies by dealership. That's department-scale software at a department-scale price, and for a large store it can be the right money.
iSellCars.ai comes from the other end of the lot. It was built by one working salesperson who needed his own leads answered — so it scales down to a single rep and up to a team, with pricing scoped to your store rather than a fixed tier chart. If you've ever looked at four-figure-a-month software and thought "that's a department I don't have," you're who this was built for.
What iSellCars.ai brings
- Built and run by a working car salesperson — the product exists because its builder needed it on a real sales floor
- The Hot Meter and the Fire Pit — live lead scoring that ranks who's actually buying, so mornings start with the right calls
- Scales down as well as up: a solo plan for one salesperson building a book, not only whole-store packages
- Guardrails you control, enforced twice — the AI's rules are written into what it's asked to do, then checked against what it actually wrote before anything sends
- Follow-up that never ends — weekly, then monthly, then quarterly, forever, stopping the instant a customer replies
- Pricing scoped to your store: email us and get a real number the same day
Why choose iSellCars.ai over Tecobi?
Because it was built on the side of the counter you work on. Tecobi sells a department: department-scale features, department-scale pricing, built for stores that already run a BDC. iSellCars.ai was built by a salesperson who needed his own leads answered at 11pm — so the whole product is shaped around the person actually holding the phone, and it's priced for the store you run, not the one a tier chart imagines.
Because the AI answers to you, not to a vendor's defaults. Every guardrail is a dial your store sets — from locked-down conservative to genuinely advanced, with every rule enforced twice against what the AI actually writes. And because the follow-up literally never gives up: weekly, monthly, quarterly, forever, stopping the instant a customer replies — the deal you close in July from a lead that went quiet in March.
And because you'll talk to the person who built it — not a ticket queue. Email us and you get a real number the same day, from someone who sells cars for a living.
