Comparison
Automo vs HomeNet Automotive
HomeNet specializes in inventory syndication to listing sites. Here is how a complete, all-in-one DMS compares for independent dealers who need more than just inventory feeds.
What is HomeNet Automotive?
HomeNet Automotive, part of Solera Holdings, is an inventory syndication and management platform. It focuses on distributing vehicle inventory data across multiple listing platforms and helping dealers manage their vehicle data at scale. HomeNet is typically used as a component of a larger tech stack rather than a standalone DMS.
Pricing comparison
Automo
Automo plans start at $29/month (Supersonic) and $59/month (Hypersonic). 14-day free trial included.
HomeNet Automotive
HomeNet Automotive pricing is not publicly listed and varies based on the number of vehicles and feeds. It is typically an add-on cost layered on top of your existing DMS.
What Automo covers beyond inventory syndication
Complete DMS — not just a feed tool
Automo covers inventory management, a dealer website, CRM, deal management, analytics, and Facebook Marketplace posting in one subscription. HomeNet focuses on inventory data distribution rather than your full operation.
Your dealer website included
Automo includes a professional dealer website with every paid plan. Two themes — Velocity and Nova — with instant switching, full customization, and automatic inventory sync.
Built-in Facebook Marketplace posting
Automo includes a built-in Facebook Marketplace posting tool with scheduling and automated listing management. Facebook Marketplace is one of the largest vehicle shopping platforms and does not accept standard inventory feeds.
AI tools that improve your SEO
Automo Hypersonic and Ultrasonic plans include AI vehicle descriptions and a weekly AI blog writer — both of which help your dealer website rank higher on Google over time.
CRM and lead management built in
Automo captures every lead from every channel into one CRM dashboard — website forms, chat, Facebook Marketplace inquiries, and listing site leads all in one place.
Transparent, affordable pricing
Automo starts at $29/month with a 14-day free trial and no long-term contract. HomeNet is typically an add-on service on top of an existing DMS.
Frequently asked questions
Does Automo syndicate inventory to listing sites?
Yes. Automo includes outbound inventory feeds to AutoTrader, CarGurus, Kijiji Autos, and Carpages. For Facebook Marketplace, which does not accept standard feeds, Automo includes a built-in posting tool.
Can I manage photo processing and overlays in Automo?
Yes. Automo includes photo upload and management with branded overlay templates. Apply overlays to the first photo (Supersonic plan) or all photos (Hypersonic and Ultrasonic) with your dealership name, price, phone number, and more.
Is Automo a replacement for HomeNet?
For most independent dealers, yes. Automo covers inventory management and listing syndication as part of a complete DMS — so you do not need a separate syndication tool. If you are managing very large inventories across many platforms simultaneously, discuss your specific needs with our team.
