Washify or MeetScarlet: a member app for a small car wash.
For a car wash that is keeping its point of sale and wants a member app with its own name, MeetScarlet is the better pick: $349 a month for one site with the app included, while Washify is DRB's point of sale for small washes, with an app you color to your brand and no published prices. MeetScarlet's setup is $999 on monthly billing and free on yearly. We make MeetScarlet; every Washify fact here comes from Washify's own page.
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 already have a point of sale you're keeping 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.
Washify may suit you if you need a new point of sale as well as an app, with RFID gate tags, plate recognition, pay stations, and text and email campaigns.
Why car washes pick MeetScarlet over Washify
- A published price with the app included: $349 a month for one site, or $3,490 a year with no setup fee; Washify's page lists no prices
- An app with your wash's name, published under your own Apple and Google developer accounts; Washify's page doesn't say whose name or account its app is published under
- Keep the point of sale you have: MeetScarlet doesn't replace it, 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

Questions to ask on a Washify demo
Washify's public pages leave these open, so ask before you sign:
- What does Washify cost for one site, including the app, and is there a setup fee?
- Is the app published under my wash's name and my own Apple and Google developer accounts?
- Who owns the app listing if I leave?
- Which hardware do I need to buy, and what does it cost?
- 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.

Does Washify have a car wash app? #
Yes. Washify, owned by DRB, offers an iPhone and Android app where customers can sign up for your monthly wash plan; you customize its colors, buttons, services and icons, and in-app activity shows in Washify's POS reports (read November 1, 2026).
How much does Washify cost? #

Is Washify part of DRB? #

Can MeetScarlet replace Washify? #
As 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 is not a point of sale, and it has no gate hardware, texts or email campaigns.
Is this comparison independent? #
No. We make MeetScarlet, and we recommend it to car washes that want a member app with their own name alongside the point of sale they keep. Every Washify fact comes from Washify's own page, dated, and we say where Washify may fit better.
