Checkup vs Phonecheck: enterprise-ready diagnostics with a Free on-ramp

Checkup vs Phonecheck is a real comparison for repair shops and trade-in / buyback shops that need serious station diagnostics — and for teams that want an enterprise-ready system without a mystery quote wall.

Free $0 / €0 / £0 · Premium US $25 / EU €21.90 / UK £19.90 per month

Checkup is enterprise-ready diagnostics-first software: Instant Diagnostics + Mobile App Diagnostics, grading, PDF reports/labels, secured data erasure, and service history available so you know what’s been replaced (iOS). Start on Free (5 checks/mo · $0/€0/£0), scale on Premium (US $25 · EU €21.90 · UK £19.90) with 250 checks, 55 IMEI blacklist, carrier lock sample, users & roles (separate logins/permissions), and 6 months history — Free already supports multiple stations (limits workspace-wide).

Phonecheck markets enterprise diagnostics with a branded marketplace Device History Report (DHR) credential — a different product story from Checkup's workspace device history reports.

Checkup includes device history reports in your workspace — documentation for the chain (retained per plan: 1 month Free · 6 months Premium). Wipe on Checkup = secured data erasure for a clean handoff.

Why Checkup is enterprise-ready

Enterprise-ready here means the system is ready for multi-station shops and team permissions:

  • Consistent Instant Diagnostics + Mobile App Diagnostics every shift
  • Grading profiles so “Grade B” means the same thing across the team
  • PDF reports and labels for counters and back rooms
  • Device history retained per plan (1 month Free · 6 months Premium)
  • Free: multiple stations in one workspace (limits workspace-wide)
  • Users & roles on Premium for separate logins and permissions
  • Workspaces and billing built for shops that need team permissions and higher volume
  • Published Premium limits (250 checks, 55 blacklist, carrier lock sample) so ops can plan volume — add-on packs if you need more carrier lock lookups

The happy path for many repair & trade-in shops is Free → Premium. That does not make Checkup a “tiny shop only” tool — it means you can prove the station workflow on Free, then run enterprise-ready volume and team structure on Premium with clear numbers.

A carrier (or network/SIM) lock check shows whether a device is locked to a carrier or unlocked. If it’s locked, shops need to know which carrier, whether that carrier fits the buyer (you don’t want to be stuck with a phone locked to a carrier that doesn’t matter to the customer), how lock status changes device pricing, and whether there are financial obligations on the device — separate from IMEI blacklist status.
