BUY WITH CONFIDENCE

Whether you're buying from a dealership, private seller, Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, or an online auction, Orto helps you identify hidden problems before you spend your money. A quick **license plate lookup** or **VIN check** can reveal title issues, odometer discrepancies, recalls, theft records, salvage history, and other problems that aren't obvious during a test drive.

Orto helps you make informed decisions with trusted vehicle history information from licensed data providers and official sources.

BUILT ON TRANSPARENCY

Every Orto report is backed by trusted public records and licensed data providers. We clearly show where information comes from, and if data isn't available, we tell you instead of guessing or hiding missing records.

FOR DEALERS AND PROFESSIONALS

Orto is also built for dealerships and automotive professionals. Manage inventory, add notes and photos, perform 15-point inspections, compare vehicles side by side, assign work to your team, and run unlimited lookups with Orto Dealer and the companion web dashboard.

Whether you're a private buyer, seller, collector, enthusiast, or professional dealer, Orto helps you make smarter decisions with fast, reliable car history checks, vehicle history reports, license plate lookups, VIN checks, and VIN lookups.

Orto currently supports vehicles registered in the United States. Vehicle history reports are not a substitute for a professional mechanical inspection, and the absence of records does not guarantee a clean vehicle history.

Ratings and reviews

Great app, unfortunately unless your a car dealer you will find it hard to justify a subscription at the current rates. About all the day to day practicality I can find is 'Yep! That's a 99 Buick alright!' Now when car shopping it's a different story. But how often do most of you do that? If the subscription included ownership information then I would be on board today. We seem to be at the too expensive for idle fun, not enough information for the price. Maybe someday.

I LOVE the free version of this app! Typed in my license plate on a vehicle my son got from helping his dad work at a tow company one summer, (no title), that was abandoned, and it told me everything I needed to know. It even shows you service records such as oil changes, new tires, tune-ups. Shows where, when, and even gives you a phone number if available! For FREE! Carfax better lookout! Thank you for creating such an awesome app.

Used to be an amazing app, used very frequently to see vehicle history on a vehicle that I was interested in purchasing. Now it seems they've done away with the free reports and you have to pay to upgrade to Premium to get it to do anything, not to mention you're now limited on how many reports you can run, and since the app sometimes glitches, it will run one report a couple times and eat that amount up. Overall, very disappointed. This app used to be really great, now its just payware.

What’s new

Made some small UI tweaks, and fixed an error with the app restarting occasionally.

Thanks!
