The difference with our tools is that we develop software specifically designed for our indicated supported vehicles which is why our applications are capable of reading vehicle specific information, and performing more complex tasks such as identifying vehicle specific fault codes using OEM diagnostic routines. Cheap tools tend to be missing parts, or missing compatible software, since hardware is basically useless without good software to go with it! The first thought that should spring to mind is ‘Not much’, which is exactly right.
Now, what do you really think a $10 scantool will give you? No matter how you look at it, its not much! What does that really get you in this day of age. Now just thinking about that value, $10aud. One of the common questions we receive is “why doesn’t my $10 ELM cable read my fault codes?” This is obviously not affordable for the average joe, which is why software developers such as ourselves develop cheaper solutions! The average OEM tool and software are in excess of multi-thousands of dollars which also tend to have muti-thousand dollar yearly subscriptions. Scantools are extremely complex pieces of hardware, which have to perform complex tasks to decode protocols on a microsecond level (thats 1/100,000 of a second!). The old saying “you get what you pay for” couldn’t be more accurate when it comes to diagnostic scantools.
