Compare GARAGEBIRDS vs. Stand360

GARAGEBIRDS provides cloud-based management software tailored for independent used-car dealerships and smaller lots. This platform consolidates all essential information for each vehicle—such as specifications, images, purchase and recon expenses, asking price, deals, and paperwork—into a single record that follows the vehicle from acquisition to final sale. The free plan ($0, no credit card required, unlimited users) includes features like VIN decoding, inventory management, listings, cost tracking that calculates true profit per vehicle, cash desking with a detailed margin view for each deal, and built-in forms for title, registration, and bill of sale applicable in all 50 states, automatically populated from the deal details. In addition, buyer contacts are captured automatically for future reference. The Pro plan, available for $49 per month when billed annually or $59 monthly, comes with a 14-day trial that requires no credit card. It enhances the software with finance desking capabilities, including amortization tables, Smart Print Forms for the dealer's contracts, leads, quotes, and contact history, as well as the Posting Assistant. This Chrome extension simplifies the listing process by autofilling car details for platforms like Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, OfferUp, eBay Motors, Cars.com, and AutoTrader, allowing dealers to review and publish each listing easily. Furthermore, the software’s comprehensive features enable dealers to streamline their operations and improve efficiency significantly.

Stand360 is an online dealership management tool tailored for used-car dealers operating in Portugal. This application streamlines the organization of vehicle inventories and dealership processes through detailed records for each vehicle, encompassing aspects like acquisition, sale, expenses, documentation, warranties, and profit margins. Among its myriad features, it offers compliance with Portugal's VAT-on-margin (RETM) regulations, facilitates purchase declarations for cars bought from private individuals, and maintains comprehensive records for customers and suppliers, along with stock reporting capabilities. Dealers benefit from the ability to track important vehicle-related deadlines, including inspections and IUC obligations, which are crucial for maintaining compliance. The free version allows management of up to five vehicles, includes five photos per vehicle, provides access to five tax reports, and accommodates one user. Upgrading to the premium version removes these restrictions and enhances functionality, offering team collaboration, publishing on platforms like AutoSAPO and OLX, email notifications, advanced analytics, VAT predictions, Excel export capabilities, and additional tools for compliance and document management. Stand360 is specifically crafted to support dealership operations rather than serving as a platform for consumers to shop for cars. This focus ensures that dealers have all the necessary tools at their fingertips to effectively manage their inventory and streamline their operations.
