Tekmetric pricing and features as published on their own site, checked mid-2026 — vendors change pricing without much notice, so verify current numbers directly with them before deciding. We're not yet integrated with a parts catalog or a distributor network for live ordering; if your shop leans hard on VIN-based fitment lookups or in-app distributor ordering today, that's a fair reason to stick with Tekmetric.
Where shops tell us Simpli Shop Pro fits better
Tekmetric is a strong, established platform. These are the specific reasons a one-bay-to-ten-bay independent shop picks us instead.
A real trial, not a sales demo
Tekmetric's public site offers a guided demo, not a self-serve trial. You can sign up for Simpli Shop Pro and run real jobs through it today, no card and no sales call required.
One flat price, published up front
$175/mo, and that's the number — no "starting at" pricing that climbs once you add the modules a working shop actually needs.
Built for the owner wearing four hats
Tekmetric's feature depth (parts fitment, distributor ordering) is aimed at shops with a dedicated parts counter person. If that's not your shop yet, you're not paying for it here.
