How these comparisons are written

Auto Intelligence Network is the author of these pages and is one of the products compared. Each competitor is described from its own public documentation; the AIN column describes what the appraisal returns today. We do not publish accuracy statistics, price gaps or transaction counts for any product, including our own, because we cannot substantiate them for a reader's specific vehicle. If a description of a third-party product is out of date, contact us and we will correct it.
