See what the paid report includes →On October 26, 2026, one AutoCheck report cost $29.99, while single reports cost $9.98 at Titlecheck.us, $9.99 at VinAudit, $14.99 at VinInspect, $17.99 at ClearVIN and $19.95 at VinReport, and VIN Lookup (free-vin-lookup.com) sells the original ClearVIN PDF for $14.99, one time, with no subscription; ClearVIN, which issues the report, is on the DOJ list of approved NMVTIS data providers. AutoCheck’s five-report pack ($59.99, $12.00 each) must be used within 21 days, and the DOJ says consumers cannot get an NMVTIS report from Experian, which sells AutoCheck. For two or more cars, ClearVIN’s own packs cost less than VIN Lookup’s: $23.98 for two and $28.99 for five on clearvin.com, against $29.99 for three and $44.99 for five at VIN Lookup. Low first charges are usually trials: GoodCar’s $1.95 pass and the $1 offers at VinInspect, VinReport, EpicVIN and Bumper renew into monthly plans unless cancelled. A cheaper report gives up AutoCheck’s own extras: the AutoCheck Score, 21 days of updates and, on eligible cars, buyback protection for a missed state title brand.

Every price in this table was read on the seller’s own page on October 26, 2026, unless its Checked cell says otherwise. AutoCheck sold one report for $29.99 with no recurring charge; in the table, 8 sellers besides VIN Lookup charged less for one report, from $9.98 at Titlecheck.us up, and VinCheck.info advertised a free ad-supported report. EpicVIN showed its Global price page, so a U.S. checkout may differ. These are published prices, not a completed checkout; confirm tax and terms before paying.
About the VIN Lookup row: VIN Lookup (free-vin-lookup.com) sells the original ClearVIN PDF for $14.99, one time, with no subscription; ClearVIN, which issues the report, is on the DOJ list of approved NMVTIS data providers.

A low first charge is not a report price. On October 26, 2026, each offer below started a plan that renews every month unless you cancel, while AutoCheck’s $29.99 and the one-report prices above are single payments.
For one car, compare AutoCheck’s single price with the trial’s renewal and with a one-time report. VIN Lookup sells one report for $14.99 with no subscription; the free VIN decode comes first.

Other one-time sellers, read October 28, 2026
Two one-time sellers that are not in our price sheet were read on their own pages on October 28, 2026. Neither is on the DOJ list of approved NMVTIS data providers checked October 26, 2026, and we bought no report from either, so the coverage claims below are theirs.
VinWhere’s $9.99 report is a different product from AutoCheck: its page says it checks recalls, complaints, service bulletins and the window sticker, with no accident history or title-brand timeline. AllStatesVIN listed one report for $5.99, one time; its FAQ says the report is typically delivered within one business day.
| Seller | One report | Packs or billing | What its page says the report covers | Note | DOJ NMVTIS list | Read |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AllStatesVIN | $5.99 | 3 for $14.99, 5 for $21.99 or 10 for $39.99 ($4.00 each); one-time payment, no subscription or auto-renewal | A paid vehicle history report; its footer says it gathers data from public registries, state agencies and commercial automotive sources | Its FAQ says the paid report is typically delivered within one business day | Not on the DOJ list (checked Oct 26, 2026) | Oct 28, 2026 |

What AutoCheck includes that cheaper reports may not
AutoCheck is Experian’s report. Its record in our October 26, 2026 price sheet lists the AutoCheck Score and 21 days of updates for one report, and its five-report pack must be used within 21 days. The DOJ list checked the same day says consumers cannot get NMVTIS reports from Carfax, DMVDesk or Experian, which provide that information only to car dealerships.
AutoCheck’s buyback protection page, read on October 28, 2026, says AutoCheck will buy back an eligible car, paying up to 110% of the J.D. Power NADAguides published retail value plus up to $500 in aftermarket accessories, when the AutoCheck report missed a state title brand that the state had reported to Experian before the report was run. It does not cover accidents or other records reported by commercial data sources. It costs nothing extra on a car the report marks as eligible; you must register within 90 days of buying the car, and the missed brand must be found within one year of the report date.
The cheaper reports cover different records. Titlecheck.us’s $9.98 report lists NMVTIS title, brand, odometer, junk, salvage and total-loss records, and its own pages say it has no repairs, minor accidents, owner names or recalls. VIN Lookup’s $14.99 original ClearVIN PDF lists title brands, odometer, damage, total-loss, theft, lien, auction and sale records where returned; ClearVIN says it has no maintenance records. No report shows every accident.
Which to buy for one car: for title brands, odometer, junk, salvage and total-loss records, Titlecheck.us or VinAudit ($9.98 or $9.99, both on the DOJ NMVTIS list); for title records plus damage, auction and sale records in one PDF, VIN Lookup’s original ClearVIN PDF ($14.99) or ClearVIN direct ($17.99); for the AutoCheck Score, 21 days of updates or buyback protection, AutoCheck ($29.99).

One car or several: price per report, checked October 26, 2026
For one car, a single report is the whole cost: $9.98 at Titlecheck.us, $9.99 at VinAudit, $14.99 at VIN Lookup, $17.99 at ClearVIN and $29.99 at AutoCheck. Packs lower the price per car only if you check that many cars. For two or more cars, ClearVIN’s own packs cost less than VIN Lookup’s: $23.98 for two and $28.99 for five on clearvin.com, against $29.99 for three and $44.99 for five at VIN Lookup.
VinAudit’s 10 reports for $29.99 ($3.00 each) were the lowest price per report in this table, and AutoCheck’s 5 for $59.99 must be used within 21 days.

Buyer checklist
- Decide which records you need: title brands only, damage and auction records, or the AutoCheck Score.
- Compare one-report prices on the seller’s own page on the day you buy.
- Read the renewal amount before paying for any $1 trial.
- Buy a pack only for the number of cars you will check, and note AutoCheck’s 21-day limit.
- Check open recalls free at NHTSA and theft at NICB VINCheck.
- Save the report and receipt as soon as they arrive.
What this research cannot prove
- Report prices were read on each seller’s own page on October 26, 2026 unless a row’s Checked cell says otherwise; AllStatesVIN, VinWhere and AutoCheck’s buyback page were read on October 28, 2026. No checkout was completed.
- The price sheet was read from a connection outside the United States: EpicVIN showed its Global page, so a U.S. checkout may show different terms.
- CheckThatVIN and VINsmart, both on the DOJ list, blocked automated reading, so no price is shown for them.
- A cheaper report is a different product, not a cheaper AutoCheck; a missing record is not proof that nothing happened.

VIN Lookup (free-vin-lookup.com) sells the original ClearVIN PDF for $14.99, one time, with no subscription; ClearVIN, which issues the report, is on the DOJ list of approved NMVTIS data providers. None of these is an AutoCheck report, and none includes the AutoCheck Score.

On October 26, 2026, against AutoCheck’s $29.99, one report cost $9.98 at Titlecheck.us, $9.99 at VinAudit, $14.99 at VinInspect, $14.99 at VinGurus, $17.99 at ClearVIN, $19.95 at VinReport, $19.99 at VINData and $24.99 on EpicVIN’s Global page; VIN Lookup sold the original ClearVIN PDF for $14.99, one time, and VinCheck.info advertised a free ad-supported report.

Are AutoCheck alternatives as good as AutoCheck?
They answer different questions. AutoCheck adds its score, 21 days of updates and buyback protection for a missed state title brand. Titlecheck.us lists NMVTIS title, brand, odometer, junk, salvage and total-loss records. VIN Lookup’s original ClearVIN PDF lists title brands, odometer, damage, total-loss, theft, lien, auction and sale records where returned. No report shows every accident.

CARFAX is the other large paid report ($49.99 for one on its U.S. App Store listing, October 26, 2026). For less, DOJ-listed NMVTIS sellers such as Titlecheck.us and VinAudit sell title reports, and VIN Lookup sells the original ClearVIN PDF for $14.99. Free: NICB VINCheck for theft and insurer total losses (terms as recorded September 23, 2026) and NHTSA’s recall lookup.
Who issues the report VIN Lookup sells?
ClearVIN. VIN Lookup (free-vin-lookup.com) sells the original ClearVIN PDF for $14.99, one time, with no subscription; ClearVIN, which issues the report, is on the DOJ list of approved NMVTIS data providers.
