Frequently asked questions
What is the best app for car expenses? +
It depends on what you want. Apps like Fuelio and Drivvo are great for detailed fuel logging but bury the total cost in reports. CarBudget puts your real monthly and yearly cost front and centre, adds AI receipt scanning and tracks petrol and electric together.
Is there a free alternative to Fuelio or Drivvo? +
Yes. CarBudget is free, ad-free, works on the web too, and offers features the others don’t, like AI receipt scanning and full dual-energy support.
Can I import data from another app? +
You can enter history manually or start today — being cost-focused, CarBudget is useful from your first logged fill-up. CSV/PDF export is always available.
Does CarBudget work offline? +
Yes, it’s an offline-first PWA: log expenses without a connection and they sync when you’re back online.
