I would suggest that you compare Autel against Launch. I went through this process last summer, and ended up with: https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Pro.../dp/B06XB93NCP

Both Autel and Launch have minimal 2 way support. WRT Subscriptions - usually you get 1 or 2 years of free upgrades, then it will cost...

I did look into the Launch, the Autel 808 and 906 are in an above category, especially the MS906BT

I am not surprised - I wanted to keep it under $1000. I forget any real differences I may have found. The thing to remember is that although features may be advertised, they don't always work in the testers based on the automotive manufacturer. This is why a lot of professional folks have multiple testers.
