About this app

A car’s true cost extends far beyond its sticker price. TrueCostAuto is a practical, user-friendly car ownership analysis tool that helps you calculate long-term vehicle expenses before you make a purchase decision. With objective data analysis and intuitive comparisons, you can evaluate different vehicles rationally, choose the optimal option that matches your usage habits, and arrange your car budget reasonably.
1. Accurate Daily Ownership Cost Calculation
Get a comprehensive breakdown of your vehicle’s full lifecycle costs. Beyond basic fuel or energy fees, the app covers depreciation loss, insurance premiums, routine maintenance, and capital opportunity cost. It clearly calculates your daily and per-kilometer usage expenses, helping you fully understand all implicit ownership costs without blind estimation.
2. Intuitive Comparison for Fuel & Electric Vehicles
Easily compare the economic efficiency of gasoline cars, electric vehicles, and plug-in hybrids. Simply input your annual driving mileage, and the app generates visual comparison charts automatically. You can clearly check the mileage threshold where electric vehicles become more cost-effective than fuel cars. For PHEV users, it simulates real charging habits to deliver accurate and practical energy consumption results.
3. Scientific Depreciation Prediction & Resale Planning
Adopting precise residual value algorithms, the app forecasts vehicle residual values for 3, 5, and 10 years after purchase. It analyzes the most cost-effective resale period scientifically, assisting you in arranging vehicle replacement plans properly and maintaining your vehicle asset value.
4. Customized Evaluation & Intelligent Scoring
Each vehicle is given a comprehensive purchase recommendation score (0–200) based on multi-dimensional data including economic performance, maintenance cost, and personal usage preferences. Recommended cost-effective models are visually marked for quick and straightforward selection reference.
5. Global Localization & Adaptive Configuration
Supports more than 20 mainstream languages worldwide. Adapted to over 26 countries and regions with localized currency symbols, unit standards, and regional tax rules. The app automatically matches local configurations after region switching, delivering a tailored local experience for global users.
6. Local Data Storage & Reliable Privacy Protection
All your vehicle comparison records, budget settings, and analysis data are saved locally on your device only. The app does not force cloud data uploads, ensuring your personal consumption and budget data are fully protected and private.
