Vektracer vs ClearVin

A single report is $14.99, three are $23.99 and five are $29.99 at the time of writing, bought as credits that do not expire. An unlimited plan is $79.99 a month for up to 150 reports, and dealers can buy credits at lower per-report rates. Vektracer's single report is $19.99.

No. ClearVin states plainly that its reports do not include maintenance records. That is the clearest difference between the two: Vektracer carries service and maintenance history on roughly two thirds of the vehicles it reports on, which is the record that tells you how a clean-titled car was actually looked after.

ClearVin's roots are in the salvage-auction world and its previous-sale photo coverage is very good. If you are buying a car you suspect went through Copart or IAA, it is a strong choice. Vektracer also shows auction and listing photos where they exist, and adds the service, ownership and Canadian records ClearVin does not.

No. ClearVin sells one-time credits; Vektracer sells single reports and bundles. Both offer a monthly option for frequent buyers.

ClearVin shows a summary of available record categories before purchase. Vektracer's free preview shows the count of records in each category — ownership, accident, odometer, title brand, theft, recall — so you can judge whether the full report is worth buying for that particular car.

Yes. Vektracer is a registered business, processes payments through Stripe, is reviewed publicly, and refunds automatically when the history sources return nothing for a VIN.
