Summary:
1. Software inception and protection
Launch x431 is built the inception on the VCI so if you lose the VCI then you must buy one and shift the account to it. And if you lose that tablet then you just have to buy the tablet and log in your user name and password.
Autel built the software inception on the tablet, so if you lost the tablet then all lost and if you lost the VCI, then easily you might buy the VCI.
2. Update Cost
Autel Update Cost is expensive over Launch which is reasonable in update cost.
3. Additional equipment added to the device
Launch allows you to add key programming while autel don’t have this option and you need to buy stand alone device.
If you need Autel device has both scanning and key programming, go for IM608.
Launch X-431 PAD 7 allows you to add TPMS TGGUN that can program the TPMS sensors while Autel don’t have the option to add this device and you need to buy stand-alone
TPMS tool like TS508 or ITS600.
We need to mention here that some models of Autel has the TPMS function built-inside, like MaxiPro MP808TS, Maxicheck MX808TS.
Both Launch and Autel allow you to add videoscope camera and battery tester.
4. Key Programming tool
Autel is more advanced and better when it comes to key programming. But need MaxiIM tablet but no MSUltra.
5. TPMS sensor programming and re-learn
Autel is better than Launch. But need stand alone TPMS scanner of Autel.
6. Price level:
Autel is more expensive than Launch.
7. Reports
Both give the user the scanning report but Autel Ultra have cloud base that gives you the option to download the report easily.
8. Heavy duty scanner
Launch heavy duty add-on is better, cheaper and easier to use than MaxiSys CV.
Autel has the option to buy only stand alone device while launch allow to add the heavy duty module.
9. Region
Launch is better for European, Korean and Japanese cars, while Autel is better for American cars.
