What is the difference between the 3-report and 5-report packs?
Only the credit count and the price. The 3-pack is $29.99 for three reports, the 5-pack $44.99 for five. Same report, same one-time terms.
Check the review date and linked sources for context. Live availability, prices and record coverage can vary by VIN, source, jurisdiction and time.
Only the number of credits and the price. The 3-report pack is $29.99 for three report credits, about $10.00 each; the 5-report pack is $44.99 for five, about $9.00 each. Both carry the same feature list: the same complete report as the single option, one credit per VIN whenever you decide, the same sources and coverage labels, and no subscription or expiry pressure.
- The two packs are the same product at two sizes — nothing is unlocked by the larger one.
- Per report, the 3-pack works out to about $10.00 and the 5-pack to about $9.00, against $14.99 for a single report.
- Both are one-time purchases; credits stay on the order until you spend them on a VIN.
- The cheaper per-report number is only a saving if you actually use every credit.
Side by side, the differences are two numbers
The catalogue gives the 3-pack and the 5-pack an identical feature list, changing only the count: everything in the single report, three or five times; use each report on a different VIN whenever you decide; the same sources and coverage labels on every report; no subscription and no expiry pressure. The descriptions are aimed at different shoppers — three reports for shortlisting a few cars, five for serious shopping or a small lot — but the delivered document is the same.
| 3-report pack | 5-report pack | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $29.99 | $44.99 |
| Report credits | 3 | 5 |
| Roughly per report | $10.00 | $9.00 |
| Single report, for comparison | $14.99 | $14.99 |
| Report format | Same complete provider report | Same complete provider report |
| Renewal | None — one-time purchase | None — one-time purchase |
Which one is actually cheaper for you
Do the arithmetic in both directions. Divide the pack price by its credits to get the per-report figure, then multiply by the number of cars you will genuinely research. Five credits at about $9.00 each is the lowest unit price on offer, but it is only a saving if you run five VINs; a shopper who checks one car has paid $44.99 for a $14.99 job.
The safer way to choose is by shortlist size. If you are down to two or three cars, the 3-pack matches the work. If you are early, comparing widely, or checking stock, the 5-pack is the one that gets used up.
What this does not cover
- The refund policy does not state that unused pack credits are refundable, so buying credits ahead of a decision is a commitment.
- A pack credit does not add record categories, speed or coverage — coverage still varies by VIN, source, jurisdiction and reporting date.
- The per-report figures are rounded; the amount charged is the pack price shown at checkout, before any applicable tax.

Frequently asked questions
Is the report from a pack credit different from the single report?
No. Every credit unlocks the same complete provider report format as the single-report option, with the same sources and coverage labels.
Can I spend the credits on different vehicles?
Yes. Both packs state you can use each report on a different VIN, whenever you decide; credits stay on your order until you use them.
Is either pack a subscription?
No. Every option is a one-time purchase with no membership, automatic renewal or recurring subscription charge.
Do the pack credits run out after a while?
The current pack copy says credits stay on your order until you use them, with no subscription and no expiry pressure. Keep the order access details and the terms you accepted.
