Autel or Launch? A Quick and General Comparison Says....

A question  commonly asked is "which brand is better? Launch or Autel?" 

In the erea of automotive equipment, Launch and Autel have undeniably solidified their positions as top-tier contenders.

Both brands offer very powerful, comprehensive, advanced and reliable scan tools.

Product Positioning

  • Autel has established itself as a prominent figure in the industry, known for delivering diagnostic tools that seamlessly combine top-notch quality with user-friendly experiences, all while pushing the boundaries of innovation.
  • On the flip side, Launch sets the pace by providing quick, precise, budget friendly and OEM-level diagnostics that make a distinct impact.

Vehicle Compatibility

  • Launch is more suitable for European, Korean, and Japanese cars.
  • While Autel is better suited for American cars.  

Collectively, both options stand as robust and capable tools in their own right. 

  • If you're seeking a user-friendly tool with extensive coverage, we recommend directing your attention towards Autel's scan tools. 

 

Autel Seems Able to Solve More Technical Issues:

A Diagnostic Tech, Wrench, said on Batauto forum, I like autel, it just seems better suited for rough abuse than the launch. I also have used the newer version launch, it seemed slower even though it had android 7.1...

If money is not so much of an option, I would go autel. But the updates are more expensive because the autel actually does more vehicles. Where I live, we get a lot of bizarre cars, diesels and such, and every update I get from autel works.
