It depends on the features you’d like to use. If diagnostics and live data are enough for you, then a paid subscription is not needed, as these features are part of the FREE plan that comes with every device by default.
Meanwhile, the PRO and ULTIMATE plans are designed for users who want to go beyond diagnostics and get more control over their vehicles.
The PRO plan includes manual coding features for Volkswagen Group vehicles, while the ULTIMATE plan offers everything in PRO plus nearly unlimited access to One-Click Apps for all officially licensed brands – Volkswagen, BMW, Toyota, and Ford (US models only) Groups. It also lets you build your own One-Click Apps – just keep in mind programming expertise is required.
Both plans include priority customer support and early access to newly developed features as they roll out.
Keep in mind you can buy Credits – our in-app currency required for activating One-Click Apps – separately, so the subscription isn't necessary.
