PostMyDeal vs The Alternatives

Every tool you've tried
was built for the dealer.
Not for you.

Enterprise tools cost $249–$799/month and need an IT setup. Generic schedulers can't scrape inventory. Manual posting eats 4 hours a week. None of them were built for the 1099 salesperson working the floor.

PostMyDeal.ai — $29/month — works on any inventory URL — no IT required

What else is out there

The 3 alternatives most salespeople consider

Here's an honest look at each one — including why they fall short for the individual 1099 car salesperson.

The Status Quo
Manual Posting
$0/month — but costs you everything else
The default. Open each listing. Type the year. Type the make. Type the model. Upload photos one by one. Repeat 15 times. Every week. Forever.
Free to use — no subscription
You control every detail
3–4 hours per week, every week
That's 170+ hours a year wasted
At $500/deal, you're leaving $10K+ on the table
Repetitive tasks = errors, missed fields, bad photos
Your manager asks why you're not posting more
Too Expensive
Enterprise Tools
$99–$799/month — Drift, CARVID, AutoLister Pro
Built for rooftops and dealer groups. Require DMS integrations, IT setup, and a dealership budget. Drift starts at $99/month for just 5 posts/day — the same limit as PostMyDeal's $29 plan.
More automation features for large dealers
Multi-location support
$99–$799/month — 3x to 27x the cost
Need DMS integration (IT involvement)
Built for the dealership account, not yours
Contracts, onboarding calls, setup time
Overkill if you're a single salesperson
Wrong Tool
Generic Schedulers
$15–$99/month — Buffer, Hootsuite, Later
Social media schedulers can post to Facebook Pages and Instagram. But Facebook Marketplace vehicle listings require specific fields, VIN, photos, and real-time inventory data — none of which these tools can access or fill.
Good for scheduling regular social posts
Cannot scrape vehicle inventory from your DMS
Cannot post to Facebook Marketplace listings
Cannot fill Year, Make, Model, VIN fields
Cannot upload vehicle photos from your DMS
Built for brands, not car salespeople

The tools that exist weren't built for your situation.

CARVID and Drift were built for the dealership's account — the rooftop, the IT team, the $500/month budget. They connect to the DMS that the GM controls, not the inventory page you access every day on your own.

Generic schedulers can post to your Facebook Page. But Facebook Marketplace vehicle listings are a completely different beast — they require specific fields, a working VIN, real photos, and a price that doesn't trigger Facebook's spam filters. No scheduler does that.

Manual posting is free — and it's costing you $10,000+ a year in time you should be spending on the floor.

PostMyDeal.ai is the only tool built specifically for the person who actually talks to the customer. You install it in 2 minutes, point it at your inventory page, and start posting. No calls, no setup, no IT.

$220
Drift costs $220 more per month than PostMyDeal — for the same 5 posts/day limit on their entry plan
$2,710
CARVID costs $2,710 more per year than PostMyDeal's annual plan — and it needs your DMS admin to set it up
170 hrs
Manual posting costs you 170+ hours per year if you post 10 cars a week — time that could be closing deals
$29
PostMyDeal costs less than one tank of gas — and one Facebook lead paying off covers your subscription for months

The price reality

One sale covers your PostMyDeal subscription for months.
