Vektracer vs EpicVIN — FAQ

Common questions buyers ask when comparing Vektracer to EpicVIN.

How much does an EpicVIN report really cost?

A single report is $14.99, a 4-pack $29.99 and a 16-pack $86.34 at the time of writing. The "$1" on the homepage is a 3-day trial of the unlimited plan (up to 5 checks a day) that renews at $49.99 plus tax per month unless you cancel within the three days. If you want one report, buy one report. Vektracer's single report is $19.99 with no trial mechanics.

Is the EpicVIN $1 trial a scam?

No — the terms are disclosed — but a large share of the negative reviews EpicVIN receives are from people who did not notice the renewal. If you use the trial, set a reminder to cancel. Vektracer's own trial is a paid activation with a stated report allowance and the monthly price shown before you start, and it can be cancelled from your account at any time.

What does EpicVIN include?

NMVTIS title records, title brands, odometer readings, previous owners, accident and damage records, recalls and photos. It is a capable US report. Its material does not emphasise Canadian provincial records or service history.

How does Vektracer compare on data?

Similar core categories — title, brands, odometer, owners, accidents, recalls, photos — with the addition of service history on most vehicles, Canadian provincial coverage, a risk score summarising the report, and a free preview of record counts before payment.

Which is better value for a single car?

EpicVIN is five dollars cheaper for one report if you avoid the trial. Vektracer costs more and includes service history and a free preview, which means you can skip buying a report on a car with nothing on record. For several cars, compare Vektracer's 5 and 10-report bundles against EpicVIN's packs.

Which is better for a dealer?

EpicVIN's unlimited plan at $49.99 a month is aimed at dealers running many checks and is competitive for that use. Vektracer's bundles and monthly plan suit buyers and small dealers checking a handful of vehicles a month.

Can I look up a licence plate with either?

Yes. Both resolve a US plate to a VIN and run the same report. Canadian plates cannot be looked up publicly with any service; a Canadian vehicle needs the VIN.
