The Shiftly Auto Alternative

If you’re researching Shiftly Auto (ShiftlyAuto) — or already using it and rethinking the price — here’s the honest case for AutoLister Pro as the alternative: the same core job, a third less per month, published pricing instead of a demo process, and three platforms instead of one.

Two tools from the same era

This isn’t an upstart clone chasing an incumbent. AutoLister Pro has been at this just as long as Shiftly Auto — both tools came up in the same era, born from the same observation: salespeople were burning 20–30 minutes per vehicle retyping listings into Facebook Marketplace, and a Chrome extension could do it in seconds. From those similar roots the two products made different bets. Shiftly bet on the traditional dealer-vendor playbook: demo calls, custom quotes, feed-based setup, Facebook only. AutoLister Pro bet on the way modern software is bought: published pricing, online sign-up, posting the same day — and one workflow that covers Marketplace, Instagram, and TikTok. Years in, both bets have customers: Shiftly is established and widely used, and AutoLister Pro has grown to 429+ active dealers, rated 5.0 on Google and the Chrome Web Store, with zero bans reported.

The pricing gap, in real numbers

• Per month: AutoLister Pro is a published $99/mo. Users report Shiftly at ~$149/mo — that’s about 50% more for a Facebook-only tool (put the other way: AutoLister Pro is a third cheaper).
• To get started: users report Shiftly wants the first three months up front — roughly $447 before the tool has proven anything on your lot. AutoLister Pro costs $99 to find out, and you can cancel next month.
• Over a year: ~$1,788 at Shiftly’s reported price vs $1,188 — about $600/year saved per salesperson, while adding Instagram and TikTok instead of giving anything up.

All Shiftly figures are user-reported, since their pricing isn’t published — which is itself part of the comparison.

Why dealers switch

• Published pricing, no demo required. $99/mo per salesperson, from $799/mo per dealership — on the pricing page, not behind a sales call. Users report Shiftly runs ~$149/mo with the first three months paid up front; AutoLister Pro is month-to-month, cancel anytime.
• One click, fully finished. AutoLister Pro fills every field, confirms the listing, and shares it to up to 20 of your Facebook groups in a single click — users report Shiftly takes about 4 clicks per listing with manual group sharing.
• Three platforms, one workflow. The same click posts to Facebook Marketplace, Instagram, and TikTok. Shiftly is Marketplace-only.
• No feed setup. The built-in scraper reads vehicles from your dealer website, AutoTrader, CarGurus, Cars.com, AutoTrader.ca, CarGurus.ca, CarsForSale.com, RV Trader, and more.
• Full listing management. Auto price updates, auto-renew, automatic sold-listing removal, delete & relist — included on every plan.

Side by side

What switching looks like

There’s no migration, because there’s nothing to migrate: no feeds, no DMS integration, no onboarding call. Sign up online, install the Chrome extension, open any vehicle page, and your first listing is live in under 30 seconds. Most dealers run it against a handful of units on day one and decide from there — month-to-month means the trial is the subscription.

To be fair to Shiftly

Shiftly Auto is an established tool: it’s widely used, emphasizes compliance and spaced-out posting, and supports DMS/feed sync. If you specifically want a Facebook-only vendor with feed-based inventory and prefer demo-based buying, it remains a credible pick — our full AutoLister Pro vs Shiftly Auto comparison covers both sides in detail.
