All 61 rows reviewed October 19, 2026; BUILT entries updated October 31, 2026 as deferred work, pricing rules and cores & returns shipped. Checkmarks reflect documented competitor capabilities or the BUILT information supplied for this design; plans and implementations vary. The basis for each “Not offered” label is identified in its feature notes. “Scope inference” identifies an assessment of the published product scope, not a direct vendor denial. “Not verified” means the reviewed evidence did not establish availability. Planned BUILT items are proposed and unreleased.

How this comparison works & source directory

Discovery tools and shop-management systems serve different purposes. This matrix compares individual capabilities and names related tools where the workflows differ. It does not assign a winner based on checkmark totals.

How negative labels are determined: “Not offered” is separate from a missing mention in a feature list. Modist’s workshop-operation exclusions are a product-scope inference from its stated discovery/referral model and published shop tools. They describe tools supplied by Modist, not tools a listed shop uses independently. Other uncertain entries remain “Not verified.”

BUILT entries use founder-provided background and product workflows supplied for this design; this source review is not an independent test of the deployed BUILT product. Proposed roadmap entries translate the founder’s stated expansion direction into comparison areas; scope and delivery dates are not commitments. Basic job reports are not represented as a full accounting suite, and intake photos are not represented as a complete diagnostic inspection system.

Modist: platform and vetting, shop profiles and analytics, shop discovery.
Shop Boss: official support articles, feature overview, plan details, customer portal, integrations and workflows, marketing, multiple locations.
Openbay: customer FAQ, provider tools, service records. Openbay has public shop profiles; its main service-search flow requests service, vehicle, and location details.
Tekmetric: commission tracking, shop management, feature matrix, invoicing and accounting, marketing, permissions.
Shopmonkey: audience segmentation and financing, feature matrix, performance shops, workflow and history, teams, permissions, and commissions, multiple locations and marketing.
AutoLeap: feature matrix and plans, specialty and custom shops, estimates and approval history, inspections, technician app, marketing and customer management, integrations.

Founder biographies and the specific evidence for each feature are linked in the expandable rows. These rows do not compare reliability, implementation quality, support response times, or total cost. Feature scope, integrations, and subscription requirements should be confirmed during each product’s demo.
