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

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.
