Looking at DealersCloud instead of DealerCenter?
A widely used dealer management system for independent and Buy Here Pay Here dealerships, sold as a set of separately priced modules. Here is what DealerCenter publishes about itself, taken from its own pages - and what a DealersCloud quote covers. If you are happy with your system and only want the after-hours problem solved, there is a third option at the bottom of this page.

The other side
What a DealersCloud quote covers.
One platform: full CRM and lead management, inventory management and VIN decoder, deal desking and F&I, accounting and financial reports, marketing feeds, and a custom dealership website - plus unlimited users, a dedicated support team, data migration assistance and mobile app access. No per-seat licences, no setup fee, no long-term contract, and migration handled at no extra cost. Pricing is quoted per dealership because the full platform is included - the variables are the size of the store and how much AI it uses.
One quote covers every DealersCloud module, so adding accounting, a website or the CRM does not add a line to the bill.
DealersAI answers leads by email, text and web chat, and answers the dealership phone, from live inventory.
DealersAI can run alongside DealerCenter, so a store can add AI lead response without changing its DMS.
A third option
Keep DealerCenter. Add the AI.
Switching a dealer management system is a real project, and most stores looking at this page do not actually want one - they want the lead that came in at nine at night answered at nine at night. DealersAI is sold on its own as well as inside the platform. It answers leads by email, text and web chat, picks up your existing dealership phone number, and books appointments on your team’s calendar, while DealerCenter keeps doing everything it does today. There is no migration, and moving to the full platform later is an upgrade rather than a move.
Questions
Switching, and not switching.
- Do I have to leave DealerCenter to use DealersAI?
- No. DealersAI is built into the DealersCloud platform and is also available on its own, so it can run alongside DealerCenter with no migration. You keep the DMS, website and phone number you use today.
- How does DealersCloud pricing compare with DealerCenter?
- DealerCenter publishes list pricing (per-module subscriptions, plus pay-per-use charges); the figures on this page are taken from their own site. DealersCloud is quoted per dealership because every platform module is included - the variables are the size of the store and how much AI it uses. There are no per-seat licences, no setup fee and no long-term contract.
- What is included in a DealersCloud quote?
- Full CRM and lead management, inventory management and VIN decoder, deal desking and F&I, accounting and financial reports, marketing feeds, a custom dealership website, unlimited users, a dedicated support team, data migration assistance and mobile app access. Core AI tools are included on every plan; advanced DealersAI automation, voice, appraisal and business intelligence are premium modules priced by dealership size and AI usage.
- How long does moving take?
- Implementation runs from demo to go-live in hours rather than months, with zero downtime, and migration is handled at no extra cost.
