Stokpax vs AutoLeap

An honest Stokpax vs AutoLeap comparison: AutoLeap is repair-order shop management from $179/month, with inventory as a supporting module, not a parts-store invoicing tool.

AutoLeap is a well-regarded auto repair shop platform — work orders, VIN lookup, labor rates, quotes and estimates, plus an inventory module that helps a shop maintain stock levels and order parts from vendors (integrating with PartsTech and Nexpart, among others). Its invoicing is real and well-liked by reviewers, sent by text or email with a pay-online link — but it is built around billing a repair order, not a standalone counter or wholesale parts sale. Stokpax is the other shape — inventory, invoicing, customer/supplier accounts and cash for a business that sells stock, with no repair-order workflow to work around. Here is a straight comparison, including where AutoLeap is the better fit.

The honest verdict

If you run a repair shop and want work orders, VIN lookup and vendor-connected parts ordering in one platform, AutoLeap is a solid, well-reviewed choice starting at $179/month. But if you are a parts store or wholesaler with no repair orders to track — just stock coming in and invoices going out — paying for a repair-shop platform built around the R.O. is the wrong tool for the job. Stokpax covers inventory and invoicing natively for that business, from $29/month with a 7-day free trial.

Frequently asked questions

Does AutoLeap have inventory management?

Yes — AutoLeap includes an inventory module that helps shops maintain stock levels and order parts from vendors like PartsTech and Nexpart, but it exists to support repair orders, not a standalone parts-counter or wholesale sale.

How much does AutoLeap cost compared to Stokpax?

AutoLeap starts at $179/month (Essentials), with Pro at $309/month, Elite at $409/month and custom Enterprise pricing. Stokpax is a single plan from $29/month covering inventory, invoicing, customer/supplier accounts and cash, with a 7-day free trial.

Is AutoLeap good for a parts store, not a repair shop?

AutoLeap is built around the repair-order workflow — work orders, VIN lookup, labor rates and estimates — for auto repair shops. A parts store or wholesaler that just sells stock and invoices for it is usually better served by an inventory-and-invoicing tool built for that job.
