01 / PRODUCT & PEOPLE

Who does it serve and what problem does it solve?

Compared with the AI lead products of large DMS/CRM vendors, it charges a fixed monthly fee with no setup fee, not per lead or per minute; the founder personally handles every account, and it is built specifically for Canadian independent dealers

Target Audience

Independent used-car dealers in Canada (also serving the US), especially small dealers without a dedicated BDC (business development center) team

02 / BUSINESS MODEL

How does it charge?

subscription

Essential $497/month (AI sales agent for email/text/web chat/Facebook/Instagram, lead management, review invitations, marketing tools); Complete $697/month (adds AI phone); priced in CAD or USD, no setup fee, billed monthly, 30 days' notice to cancel, 14-day free trial

The above describes historical pricing. Check official website for current prices.

03 / ACQUISITION

Where do users come from?

Traffic estimate has no data for this domain, so traffic is small. The website has only login, free trial, and blog entries, with no social accounts, customer cases, or press coverage; founder Doruk Akal says 'I handle every account personally' and left a personal phone number, so early customers were probably reached one-on-one by the founder contacting dealers (speculation, no evidence found). The blog just published two articles on 2026-10-18 and 10-26 about whether an AI BDC is worth it and how much it costs for small used-car dealers, which is search content that has only just started. The founder did not fill in a channel on Revenue record. Returning customers renew through monthly subscriptions, currently 8 subscriptions.

Channel share, initial acquisition, and growth drivers are distinct; correlation does not imply proven causation.

04 / YOUR NEXT QUESTION

What remains to be verified?

The following are research questions, not established market opportunities.

  • What do target users actually pay for? Is there direct user feedback or paid interview evidence?
  • Are these historical prices still active today? What are the conversion, retention, and fulfillment costs?
  • Is the "Traffic estimate has no data for this domain, so traffic is small.
