Frazer has earned its reputation: 19,000+ dealers, decades in the market, and genuinely loyal long-term users. But if you're pricing it for your lot, the public numbers take some assembling. Here's what Frazer costs in 2026, based on publicly listed plans — and what to check before you sign.

Prices below reflect publicly listed plans as of mid-2026. Vendors change pricing — confirm with Frazer directly before deciding.

The two numbers that matter

Frazer's pricing has two main shapes:

  • The annual plan — publicly listed around $1,299/year. This is the number Frazer's affordability reputation is built on, and for a desktop-first Windows install, it's a fair price.
  • Hosted cloud — around $199/month, or roughly $2,388/year. This is what you pay if you want Frazer without running it on your own Windows machine — access from anywhere, no local install to babysit.

That second number is the one most shoppers miss. The moment you want what every modern SaaS product does by default — cloud access from any device — Frazer's price nearly doubles.

What's included, and what to ask about

The core Frazer package is genuinely complete for a desktop DMS: inventory, deal processing, BHPH, a large forms library, and accounting. Long-term reviewers praise the support team.

The recurring complaints in 2026 reviews are worth pricing in too:

  • The interface is dated. Frazer's own users say it. If your staff lives on phones and tablets, a Windows-first workflow is a daily tax.
  • Price increases. Multiple reviewers mention periodic price hikes that sit awkwardly with the affordability positioning.
  • Your website is separate. Frazer is a DMS — your dealer website, and often your inventory feeds, come from another vendor with another bill.

The real comparison: total monthly cost

The honest way to compare dealer software is everything you need, per month:

| | Frazer (annual) | Frazer (hosted cloud) | DealerVLO | |---|---|---|---| | DMS | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | Cloud / any device | — | ✓ | ✓ | | Dealer website | extra vendor | extra vendor | ✓ included | | Syndication feeds | via integrations | via integrations | ✓ included | | Effective cost | ~$108/mo + website | ~$199/mo + website | $29/mo flat |

A typical dealer website vendor runs $50–$300/month on its own. Stack it on Frazer's hosted cloud and you're at $250–$500/month for what a flat-rate modern DMS includes at $29.

Who Frazer is still right for

If you're committed to a Windows desktop workflow, want the deepest legacy forms library in the business, and don't need a website from your DMS vendor, Frazer at $1,299/year remains a defensible choice. That's a real segment — it's just a shrinking one.
