Your whole trip, on budget
Set a daily or whole-trip budget in any currency, then log what you spend in a fast tap-to-add feed. See exactly how much is left, live and offline. TruePrice checks each expense against real local prices, so it can tell you when you paid the tourist price, not just what you spent.
Live budget counter
Green while you're under, red when you go over. For today, or the whole trip.
Judged against real prices
Log a catalogue price and it gets a fair or overpaid verdict from the local price data.
Trip Wrapped
End a trip for a shareable recap: what you spent, your biggest splurge, under or over budget.
Daily-budget trips are free. Whole-trip budgets, multiple saved trips and CSV export are Pro.
On your home screen
A small or medium widget keeps your budget-left in view without opening the app, and a gentle evening reminder nudges you to log the day.

AI, when you want a second opinion
One AI, three ways to catch a rip-off
Every AI answer runs a live web search first. An estimate is always marked as an estimate, never a verified price.
Ask any price
Type what you're about to pay and get an instant fair, overpriced or great-deal verdict with a typical local range.
Scan a menu or receipt
Snap a photo and TruePrice reads each line, flagging what's fair and what's a tourist markup.
Log it in your trip
Add an expense by text or photo. Catalogue matches get a real verdict; off-catalogue items get a destination estimate, clearly badged.
AI estimate. Prices may vary.
Pro Pro. 40 checks a month. One scan or one question counts as one.
Better together
Split one budget with friends
Share a trip with a short invite code. Up to 20 travellers join from their own phones and it becomes one live shared pot. Every expense shows who logged it, the counter moves in real time, and a duplicate check stops two people counting the same dinner twice.
Free. No Pro needed to share a trip.
Real-time sync
Everyone sees the shared budget update the moment someone logs a spend.
Who paid what
Stats break spending down by person, so settling up after the trip is simple.
Private by code
Only people with the invite code can join, and a trip that has ended can't be joined.

Why TruePrice
Why not just Google the price?
Fair vs trap, not an average
Cost-of-living sites blend locals and tourists into one number. TruePrice splits what locals pay from what tourists get charged.
Checked, not crowd-noise
Prices are verified against real sources and refreshed regularly, not guessed from random submissions.
Built for the moment you pay
Instant offline answers from the price database, plus an AI second opinion when you want one (Pro).
More than prices
Scam alerts and local emergency numbers for every country, in the same app.
A tracker that knows the price
Other trip trackers only log what you spent. TruePrice also tells you whether it was a fair local price or the tourist one.
Why I built it
Why I built TruePrice
I'm a solo developer, and I built TruePrice for one reason: so you don't get scammed. Knowing the fair local price changes everything. You stop overpaying, and locals stop being treated like a cash machine. I added the trip tracker so you can see not just the fair price, but whether you actually stuck to your budget on the trip. Honest prices, respect both ways. No company behind this, just me, keeping the data real and the app free for everyone.
