Pricing
Pricing, by the case
VINbasis is priced by the case. A case is one vehicle and its whole history: the details, the comparables, the photos and every revision of the report. It counts toward your monthly allowance once, in the month its VIN is first saved. After that you can revise the report and preview drafts as often as the claim requires without using another case.
What counts as a case
Opening a case, editing it, searching for comparables and previewing watermarked drafts do not count. A case counts toward your allowance when you first save its VIN. That VIN then stays fixed, so one case is always one vehicle.
Issuing a report, and issuing further revisions from the same case as the claim moves, do not use more cases. Revisions and draft previews are unlimited on every plan.

Every plan includes unlimited revisions and draft previews, the full report with claim details, comparables, valuation, settlement and calculations, a market listings search, manual comparables and reuse of your own past cases.
The free plan
Individual appraisers start on the free plan with 5 new cases each month and no card. It includes the full report, unlimited revisions and draft previews, a basic VIN decode, a search of market listings, manual comparables, your own past cases, and the Standard template with your logo.
Free reports keep the platform's look and carry a small "Prepared with VINbasis" line. When a month's 5 cases are used, the next case waits for the following month or for an upgrade.
What paid plans add
Paid plans include more cases each month, the full factory build decode (options, packages and base price, which adds equipment and configuration adjustments), the Executive and Counsel templates, and control over the report's colors, layout and type.
Studio adds any brand color, the serif typeface and your own report title, certification and limiting conditions. Signature and Firm Studio add templates built by our team to your specification, and custom support.
Past your monthly allowance
On a paid plan, a case beyond the plan's allowance is an extra case, priced as listed on each plan, and it is counted in the month its VIN is first saved like any other. Enterprise has no limit on cases or members. Paid plans are arranged with our team until online billing is available, so there is no checkout on this page.
Revisions never count again. If the claim moves and the valuation changes, issue a new revision from the same case, as many times as the claim requires.
Accounts for firms
Firm accounts are set up by our team, on the Firm, Firm Studio or Enterprise plan. Members share the plan's case allowance, with owner, admin, appraiser and viewer roles and an audit log. The free plan is for individual appraisers.
