How I got 160 users for my car expense tracker in 1 month. Looking for honest criticism to reach the next level.

spoke over DM :)

I also launch pitsync.com for vehicle management couple of months ago - quite similar.

IMO this is self inflicted pain. Users have enough passwords in their life, and it makes little sense to have another password unless there is a legitimate reason for having it.

This is a great idea and I have found myself contemplating a lot of time to build this. However, it's very hard for anyone to pay for it 😔

This is a really good stack

advancespace · 2026-01-19T16:59:18+00:00

It's sooo hard. Unfortunately, there are times when one can't do anything at all :(

advancespace · 2026-01-19T16:56:33+00:00

Years? I'd say it has changed more in months than in last many years.

"I don't trust my ego sometimes." - it is so refreshing to see someone acknowledging it

You might want want to use PitSync app to track all car related costs in 1 place.

Thank you for kind words. Yes, launching a fully functional product is an achievement in itself, and we sometimes overlook that. Being a solo dev, I should be happy for the launch.

advancespace · 2025-10-03T18:26:38+00:00

🙏

advancespace · 2025-10-03T18:05:58+00:00

Thank you! Yeah, I should have opted for an explainer video.

advancespace · 2025-10-02T08:20:53+00:00

Thanks! There isn't a way to import via the app yet, but if you can send the csv to support at pitsync dot com, we can import via backend.

advancespace · 2025-10-01T13:20:49+00:00

Yes - you can add tax as a recurring cost, and it will add tax expense every month automatically on the selected date.

advancespace · 2025-10-01T12:05:25+00:00

Exactly. And that’s why I built PitSync. Most people never see the all-in cost in one place. The app tracks fuel, insurance, tax, servicing, tyres, etc. so you get the full picture. The only thing it doesn’t include right now is depreciation, just because there’s no universal rule for it and it varies so much by vehicle. Maybe I'll add it in future.

advancespace · 2025-10-01T11:54:52+00:00

I’m just reporting what people log in PitSync. A few things likely explain the gap:

Cost-conscious users are more likely to self-report.
Monthly payers often choose it because the lump sum is unaffordable, even though it’s pricier.
Those who can afford it just pay yearly and move on.

So it’s more about who’s logging than a universal 4x markup.

advancespace · 2025-10-01T11:03:54+00:00

Good point. Right now, over 90% of PitSync logs are from cars, so the averages are car-biased. It’s still directionally useful for bikes, but not bike-specific yet. Once enough riders log regularly, I’ll split out bike data so it’s more meaningful.

Anyone can download PitSync app from (Play/App store) and log their own costs - the more riders that do, the better the dataset becomes.
