AMP or MeetScarlet: a car wash app with your name.
For one to three car wash sites that want an app with their own name at a published price, MeetScarlet is the better pick: $349 a month for one site, app included, while AMP, which says it is built for multi-site and enterprise operators, sells its app alongside AI cameras, kiosks and a CRM and shows no price. MeetScarlet's setup is $999 on monthly billing and free on yearly. We make MeetScarlet; every AMP fact here comes from AMP's own pages.
Which should you pick?
Who wrote this: the team that makes MeetScarlet. We compare from each vendor's own public pages, read on November 1, 2026, not from a hands-on test of the rival. Where a vendor does not publish something, we say so rather than guess.
Pick MeetScarlet if you run one to three sites with an attendant and want a member app with your wash's name at a price you can see before any sales call: $349 a month for one site, with setup free on yearly billing and no cameras or kiosks to install. Our team sets the app up and submits it under your own Apple and Google accounts, members buy unlimited plans and packs in it, and your attendant checks their plate or pass.
AMP may suit you if you run many sites and want AI cameras that recognize members from the lot, lane kiosks, and a CRM with SMS, loyalty points and games.
Why car washes pick MeetScarlet over AMP
- A published price with the app included: $349 a month for one site, or $3,490 a year with no setup fee; AMP's pages show no price
- Plans sized for one site, or up to three on MeetScarlet Pro; AMP says it is built for multi-site and enterprise operators
- Your app is published under your own Apple and Google developer accounts; the AMP pages we read don't say whose accounts hold its apps
- Start with the app alone: no cameras or kiosks to install, and your attendant checks members by plate or pass
- Our team imports your member list from a spreadsheet or CSV export and sets up your plans, packs and sites as part of setup

Where AMP may fit better
- AI cameras that recognize vehicles and customer type without the customer doing anything
- Kiosks for the lane, including cash kiosks, or a link to your existing point of sale
- SMS campaigns, with campaign copy and on-brand images generated in its CRM
- Points loyalty, games and gift cards sold in the app
Questions to ask on an AMP demo
AMP's public pages leave these open, so ask before you sign:
- What do the app, cameras and CRM cost for one site, and is there a setup fee?
- Is the app published under my own Apple and Google developer accounts?
- Who owns the app listing and member data if I leave?
- Can I start with the app alone, without cameras or kiosks?
- If you leave, can you export your client list, and what comes with it?
Ask us the same questions about MeetScarlet; our prices are on the homepage.
Moving to MeetScarlet
We import your member list from a spreadsheet or CSV export, then set up your plans, packs and sites as part of setup. About 4 to 6 weeks for the store apps, most of it Apple's enrollment. Your web app's link is ready during setup, and members can book there as soon as you choose your MeetScarlet plan. They keep the same account when the store apps launch.
Questions
Straight answers. Anything else, ask us on a demo.
Does AMP make a branded car wash app? #
Yes. AMP says its app is fully white-labeled and published as a standalone app on the App Store and Google Play under your wash's name and logo, not a shared template (read November 1, 2026).
How much does AMP cost? #
AMP's pages show no price; they offer a free demo and a form about your wash. MeetScarlet's price is published: $349 a month for one site with the app included, plus $999 setup on monthly billing, or $3,490 a year with no setup fee.
Can MeetScarlet replace AMP? #
For the member app, yes: members get an app with your wash's name at a published price, and an attendant checks them by plate or pass. MeetScarlet doesn't replace AMP's cameras, kiosks or CRM.
Is this comparison independent? #
No. We make MeetScarlet, and we recommend it to car washes with one to three sites that want a member app with their own name at a published price. Every AMP fact comes from AMP's own pages, dated, and we say where AMP may fit better.
