Hold the Send
LotBeacon vs Dealership Copilot
Dealership Copilot's homepage says "Dealership Copilot is the AI concierge and CRM for automotive dealerships" and "a person approving everything that goes out."
Both have a human gate. The difference is that Hold the Send checks the draft against your pasted prices and house rules before the human sees it, and shows the reason on the hold.
Lines above are from Dealership Copilot's public homepage, read November 4, 2026. Honest limits for LotBeacon stay on the compare page.
Questions
Can I cancel?
Yes. Monthly plans are month to month, and you can cancel any time; there is no refund for the current month. Yearly plans can also be canceled any time, with no refund for the current year. New orders have no onboarding fee. The terms under the pay button apply to your order. Contact nathan@holdthesend.com to arrange cancellation.
Does it send on its own?
No. A person presses Send on every message. Today, your rep pastes the thread into the desk, reviews the checked draft, and copies the reply back to Messenger or the CRM. Live Page connections are rolling out store by store.
Is there a free trial?
Individual reps can start a 14-day Solo trial with a card upfront, then $149/month. Cancel before the trial ends to avoid the first charge. Start at /solo-trial. Stores and higher plans use a 15-minute check on recent leads, not a trial.
Why not just use ChatGPT?
ChatGPT drafts a reply. It does not check that reply against your facts, your prices, or your house rules. Hold the Send does, and it holds the draft until a person presses Send.
What does the 15-minute call cover?
Nathan pastes your own leads from last week into LotBeacon, drafts the replies live, and shows you the check catching any wrong price, payment, or promise before Send.
Is this approved by any automaker?
No. Hold the Send is not approved or certified by any automaker. It is a desk tool for the rep, not a dealership system integration.
What does it cost per message?
Nothing per message. Solo is $149/mo, Independent Lot is $299/mo, Franchise Store is $599/mo. No per-message meter, month to month.
What happens after the founding period?
The founding rate locks for 12 months for the first 20 licenses. After that, standard pricing applies.
