Why people look for a Covideo alternative

  • Price. Listing sites report about $69 a month per person, or about $49 paid yearly, and team plans are quoted.
  • Buying on a demo. Covideo asks you to request a quote; there is no price on its pricing page.
  • A small store with a few salespeople pays per seat for features it may not use.

The best Covideo alternatives

CarShots Video messages. Free forever for 1 salesperson with unlimited videos; $19 a month for the whole store. Record in the browser (up to 2 minutes) or upload, put the video on a page for one shopper or on top of the car's Car Page, and text it from your own phone or email it with a moving preview. Captions the shopper can switch to their language, watch alerts, and CRM leads as ADF/XML on Car Pages Pro. How it works.

BombBomb. BombBomb is a video email tool sold per user, used most by real estate agents. Price: Core: $36 a user a month paid yearly, $42 monthly. Core + Copilot (AI): $56 yearly, $70 monthly. Enterprise: custom. Good fit if you want a general video email tool with its own AI add-on, and you sell more than cars. CarShots vs BombBomb.

Vidyard. Vidyard is a video tool for B2B sales teams, with a free plan and a paid Starter plan per seat. Price: Free; Starter $59 a seat a month paid yearly, $89 monthly; Teams and Enterprise custom.

CitNOW. CitNOW is the big personal video name with franchise dealers in the UK and Europe, for sales and the workshop, sold without a public price. Price: About US$500 a month flat to start, per a software listing site (secondhand). Good fit if you are a franchise dealer whose brand or group already runs on CitNOW, or you want workshop video for service. CarShots vs CitNOW.

TruVideo. TruVideo sells video, messaging and payments for dealer service departments, embedded in dealer software and sold on a demo. Price: No prices published; its pricing page goes to "Book a demo". Good fit if your main need is service video with estimates and payments, inside your DMS or service software. CarShots vs TruVideo.

Loom. Loom is a screen and camera recorder for work, with a free Starter plan and Business plans per user. Price: Starter free; Business $18 a user a month; Business + AI $24; Enterprise by quote.

Prices checked November 2, 2026, per seat in each company's own currency, before tax. "Secondhand" means a software listing site reports the price, not the company. Five-salesperson costs multiply the per-seat price by five; companies that quote team plans may charge differently.

When to stay with Covideo

  • Your salespeople live in VinSolutions, DealerSocket, CDK or Elead and you want the record button inside the CRM, not a link copied into it.
  • You run a large group and want the tool most of the biggest dealer groups already use, with an account team.
  • You want one vendor for sales and service video across many rooftops and are happy to buy on a quote.
