Will it know my brand, or just Hot Wheels?
Any brand. Recognition looks at the car itself instead of matching against a fixed list, so Mini GT, Tomica, Kaido House, boutique resin and oddball castings all work. Try the strangest car on your shelf first.
How accurate is it, really?
Strongest on carded cars, good on loose ones, and better with a second angle or the base stamp. When it is unsure it says so and shows you the candidates. You can correct any field, and corrections make it better for everyone.
Where do the values come from?
Live marketplace listings plus sales logged by collectors, with outliers filtered out. You get a range and a date, not a single magic number. They are a collector's guide, not an appraisal, and your own figure always wins.
What is the catch with free?
There is no subscription and there never will be. Eventually there will be optional one-time purchases for extra capacity or deeper research. Some shopping links earn us a small referral fee at no cost to you. That is the whole business model.
Who sees my collection and what I paid?
Nobody, unless you decide otherwise. Everything is private by default. Share links and public profiles are opt-in and can be revoked in one tap, and no public page ever shows what you paid. You can delete your account and data from inside the app.
I have hundreds of cars. Do I have to scan them one by one?
No. Photograph a 5-pack and the whole lineup goes in at once, confirm a stack of scans in one pass, or add cars by hand. Most collectors start with the display case and do a shelf a night.
It is a beta. What if it disappears with my data?
Your collection is backed up on our servers, and you can export everything to CSV whenever you like. If you ever leave, your list leaves with you.
