## What is Car Catalog?

Car Catalog is a car encyclopedia with 370+ brands, 3,700+ models, 10,000+ generations and 56,000+ modifications: full specs of every trim, two cars side by side, a VIN check in open registers, car recognition by photo, market prices and your own garage — in 12 languages.

THE WHOLE CATALOG, FREE
• Brands → models → generations → modifications: 370+ brands and 56,000+ modifications, from everyday cars to rare ones
• Full specs of every trim: engine, power and torque, 0–60, top speed, transmission, drivetrain, dimensions, weight, fuel consumption, EV range and charging
• Photo galleries, body-style chips, editor's collections, leaderboards of the most viewed and most powerful cars
• Search by brand, model or trim; recently viewed and saved cars always at hand

COMPARE TWO CARS
• Put two cars in the tray from anywhere in the app and see them side by side
• The verdict names the winner on power, acceleration, weight and price, then every spec in two columns
• History of your comparisons

FIND A CAR BY VIN, PLATE OR PHOTO
• VIN decoding for any car; plate and VIN checks in the open registers of the countries that publish them
• Alerts first — reported stolen, inconsistent mileage — then registration events, facts from every source, previous cars on the plate and matches in the catalog
• Take a photo or pick one from the gallery and an AI model names up to five likely generations; if the car is not in the catalog yet, suggest it
• Your checks and recognitions are kept in history and can be deleted at any time

MARKET PRICE
• For a chosen modification on your country's market: used prices (listings, minimum, median, maximum, by model year), new prices at dealers while the model is in production, the trend and a short AI summary with sources
• Figures are shown in your currency

YOUR GARAGE
• Your cars, linked to the catalog or typed in; mileage, service diary with parts, fuel, expenses, tires, inspections
• Reminders by date or mileage, delivered as notifications
• Statistics for every car

SAVED, COLLECTIONS, PHOTOS, NEWS
• Save brands, models and generations; the list follows your account to other phones
• Editor's collections and a feed of photos from owners — add your own, it appears after moderation
• Car news from leading automotive media, with a link to the source

MADE FOR YOU
• 12 languages: English, Ukrainian, Czech, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Romanian, Turkish
• Your country, currency and units
• Offline copies of the pages you opened (Premium)

ACCOUNT IS OPTIONAL
• Everything in the catalog works without signing in
• Sign in with Google or Apple to keep favorites, garage and Premium across devices; the check by VIN or plate, recognition by photo and market prices need an account
• You can delete your account in the app at any time

FREE AND PREMIUM
The catalog, specs, search, garage, collections and news are free. Premium unlocks comparison, the check by VIN or plate, recognition by photo, market prices and offline copies, and removes all ads. Watch a short video to unlock a comparison for the rest of the day (up to three a day). Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage them in your App Store account settings.

Car Catalog is not affiliated with car manufacturers, state registers or classifieds. Data comes from open sources and public registers and may be incomplete; AI summaries and photo recognition can be wrong — verify before you buy. News comes from public feeds of automotive media and links to the original.
