sendit scan alternative: a max bid on the lot page, no pasting
sendit scan is a paste-a-link tool. As of Oct 12, 2026, its homepage says: "Paste an IAA or Copart URL. Get the verdict." It also says you can try it free with no account or card.
CarFlipIQ goes the other way: the card is drawn on the lot page while you browse, so there is no link to paste. The cost is an extension to install. The benefit is a number on every lot you open.
What sendit scan does
Its pricing page (Oct 12, 2026) lists a Pro plan at $30 a month for 50 analyses a month and a Dealer plan at $120 a month for unlimited analyses, priority support and fleet tracking. The Pro feature list reads: photo damage assessment, real auction and retail comps, repair estimates with shop links, a bid simulator with a max bid, and a My Cars tracker with profit and loss.
Beyond the paid tool, its site publishes fee and shipping tools and a title-law page for each of the 50 states, which is a useful reference whether or not you ever subscribe. Its homepage also describes the tool as a free Copart and IAA salvage auction analyzer.
Because you paste a link into a web page, nothing needs installing, and so there is no browser permission to grant.
Who sendit scan is for
Buyers who want a repair-aware verdict on salvage lots from any device, with no install and no account for the first try. Its Pro list centers on photo damage and repair estimates.
What CarFlipIQ does differently
The card is already there. With the extension on, every Copart or IAAI lot you open shows a max bid beside the current bid. There is no copy, paste or tab switch.
The resale side is local listings. CarFlipIQ's LocalIQ™ price index is built from local used-car listings, priced in your saved state, and the card shows how many comps back it. sendit scan's pricing page lists auction and retail comps; we have not seen how it builds them.
Less repair help. The card does not estimate repairs or assess photos. Photo-based inspection (AI Inspect) is currently limited to the Elite plan and early access. If the damage assessment is what you pay for, sendit scan is the more complete tool.
A short permission list for the extension. It asks Chrome for storage plus access to a fixed list of auction sites and carflipiq.com, nothing broader.
