Spidersnet is one of the best-known names in UK dealer websites and software, and its dealer management system is called Autopromotor. If you use it now and are wondering what else is out there, this page sets out how Bivetica Motors compares. We have tried to be fair: Spidersnet does several things we do not do yet, and we say so.
Based on information Spidersnet publishes on its website (November 2026). Packages and features can change, so please confirm the current offer with Spidersnet.

Where Spidersnet is stronger
- Experience and size. Spidersnet says it has been providing dealer websites and software for around 30 years and works with over 1,000 dealerships. Bivetica Motors is new.
- Autotrader. Spidersnet offers a live Autotrader connection with stock kept in step and Autotrader tools in the system. Ours is in testing and will be available once approved by Autotrader.
- Checks and valuations. Spidersnet lists vehicle checks and valuations. We have not connected a history-check provider yet.
- Workshop. Spidersnet lists service and MOT online booking with service invoices. Motors does not cover the workshop side.
- Marketing services. Spidersnet offers in-house SEO and pay-per-click services, and support by phone, email, live chat and WhatsApp.
Where Bivetica Motors may suit you better
- Prices you can see. Our prices are published: £50, £80 or £120 a month. No setup fee and no VAT to add. You do not need a sales call to find out what it costs.
- The same tools in every package. A small forecourt gets the same software as a large one; you only choose how many cars you hold.
- Video, 360° and plate blurring from your phone. Walk round the car once for a 360° spin, add an inside view and a video, and blur the plate with one tick.
- Your data is yours. The account owner can download all the dealership’s data at any time.
- Founding-dealer offer. The first 100 eligible dealers get 6 months free, starting when setup is complete and the account is approved as ready.
Moving from Spidersnet
Motors can import stock from Spidersnet-style CSV and XML exports, and has a switch-over checklist: stock, photos, customers, sold history and your website. Ask your current provider for a full data export first. Your current website stays in place while you check the new setup, and you only point your domain at the new site when you are happy.
The honest answer
If you need a live Autotrader connection, finance proposals or an iPhone app today, Spidersnet may be the better fit for now, and we would rather tell you that than waste your time. If you are an independent dealer who wants clear prices, a website and the day-to-day running of the forecourt in one place, try the demo and see whether Motors suits the way you work. Prices are on our pricing page.
