AI Plate Checker vs Carhealth
Both sites offer a free check and a paid full report. This page sets out what each one gives you before you pay, what one report costs, and what the reports cover, taken from the two public sites on 2 Oct 2026. Prices and offers change, so the date at the foot of the page is the one to trust, and the figures are re-checked monthly.

What Carhealth offers that we do not
- Bundles of two or five reports at a lower per-report price, for someone checking several cars.
- Trade accounts for dealers.
- Salvage and auction records listed as part of the full report.
What we do that they do not
- The condition score and the plain-English verdict are part of the free check, not the paid report.
- One price for one report. Nobody has to buy five to get the low price.
- MOT advisories explained and MOT statistics built from the records of the cars checked here, free to read.
