Isn't Carly for BMW? I didn't know they had an Audi version.
Friend of mine has it for his BMW but he bought it some time ago when it was an "unlimited/perpetual" licence.
Nowadays (certainly for BMW) you have to firstly buy the device then pay an annual fee to activate it that isn't at all obvious what it is!
It's not that cheap either.....

At the end of the day, VCDS is the gold standard for gold standard vehicles.
And the 3-VIN version costs less than 3 tanks of A8 fuel. In fact with an S8 90-litre tank, it's less than 2 full tanks of 99RON.
