Questions
Everything dealers usually ask before booking a demo.
Onboarding takes 1–3 days, and it comes straight from the owner, not a support queue or an "implementation specialist." We bring your cars in from your DMS, a CSV or VIN scans, set up your recon workflow, and walk your team through it.
No. Every Lotly product is month-to-month — cancel anytime, no early termination fees. The only fee outside your monthly price is a one-time $25 setup fee for Recon (refundable within 7 days). Pulse has no setup fee.
Yes, on Pulse: pay yearly and get two months free. Starter is $990/yr instead of $1,188, and Unlimited is $1,990/yr instead of $2,388. Pick Yearly on the Billing page when you subscribe. For Recon, call us if you'd like to prepay a year.
Yes. Recon and Pulse both import from any DMS that can export your inventory, plus AutoTrader and CarGurus feeds. If you already use Lotly Recon, Recon and Pulse share inventory automatically — nothing to re-enter.
Start wherever it hurts most — Recon for the shop or Pulse for marketplace posting. Add the other whenever you're ready.
