VinScroll vs Covideo

Covideo is a video messaging platform for dealerships. Salespeople record personal videos on a phone or desktop and send them to leads, including from inside VinSolutions. Service technicians record repair recommendations that managers approve and send to customers. Covideo says more than 5,000 dealerships use it, and it has added AI tools for polishing videos.

Questions dealers ask

Is VinScroll a replacement for Covideo or an add-on?

An add-on. Covideo is for your staff talking to people who already reached out: leads and service customers. VinScroll runs every unit as a paid social ad to shoppers who haven't contacted you yet. A store can run both.

Does Covideo require a 12-month contract?

They don't publish contract terms; ask for them in writing. VinScroll is month-to-month.

Does Covideo make videos of my inventory automatically?

Their automotive page mentions AI features to showcase inventory and create videos at scale. It doesn't say every unit is covered automatically, so ask them to show you. VinScroll builds an ad for every unit in your live feed, and new arrivals get one automatically.

Does Covideo run Facebook ads for my inventory?

Their pages don't mention paid social ads. They focus on video messages to leads and customers, including replies sent from inside VinSolutions.

Where do Covideo's reviews on this page come from?

Capterra shows 4.9 out of 5 from 34 reviews, but many of those reviewers work outside automotive. We quoted automotive reviewers only. All three quotes are from December 2022.
