Sonny's Quivio or MeetScarlet: a car wash app with your name.
For a car wash that wants a member app with its own name at a published price, MeetScarlet is the better pick: $349 a month for one site with the app included, while Sonny's Quivio prices its app and CRM on request and connects them to Sonny's point of sale. MeetScarlet's setup is $999 on monthly billing and free on yearly, with no point of sale to change. We make MeetScarlet; every Quivio fact here comes from Quivio'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 and want members buying unlimited plans and packs in an 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. Our team sets the app up and submits it under your own Apple and Google accounts, and your attendant checks each member's plate or pass at the wash, with no change to your point of sale.
Quivio may suit you if your wash already runs Sonny's point of sale and you want one vendor for it, the app, member texts and emails, and site reporting.
Why car washes pick MeetScarlet over Quivio
- A published price with the app included: $349 a month for one site, or $3,490 a year with no setup fee; Quivio's prices are on request
- No point of sale to change: MeetScarlet stands on its own, and your attendant checks members by plate or pass
- Your app is published under your own Apple and Google developer accounts; the Quivio pages we read don't say whose account holds its app
- Our team imports your member list from a spreadsheet or CSV export and sets up your plans, packs and sites as part of setup

Questions to ask on a Sonny's demo
Sonny's's public pages leave these open, so ask before you sign:
- What do the Quivio app and CRM cost for one site, and is there a setup fee?
- Does Quivio work without Sonny's point of sale?
- Is the app published under my wash's own Apple and Google developer accounts?
- Who owns the app listing if I leave?
- 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.

How much does Quivio cost? #
Quivio does not publish prices on its site; its CRM page says to contact Sonny's for pricing details. 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 Quivio? #
For the member app, yes: MeetScarlet sells memberships and packs in an app with your wash's name and checks members at the wash by plate or pass, at a published price. It does not replace a point of sale, CRM campaigns or Quivio's staff selling tool.
Is this comparison independent? #
