## What is CostCurve?

Know what ownership really cost. CostCurve turns purchases into an honest record of price, use, time, and what happened next - without mixing unlike currencies or flattening everything into one score.

BUILD YOUR COLLECTION
- Record price, purchase date, category, notes, and an optional target cost per use.
- Log every use and watch cost per use change over time.
- Keep currencies separate so the numbers stay meaningful.
- See best value, neglected items, and collection-level trends.

MAKE BETTER OWNERSHIP DECISIONS
- Pause before a new purchase and write down the real need.
- Mark an item kept, sold, retired, or replaced.
- Add resale value and see net ownership cost.
- Keep a decision note so the context is not lost.

FREE
- Track up to five active items.
- Log unlimited uses.
- Try one Purchase Pause decision.

COSTCURVE PRO
- Unlimited items and Purchase Pause decisions.
- Read item names and prices from receipts on device.
- Full sold, retired, replacement, and resale lifecycle tools.
- Deeper insights, goals, sharing, and CSV export.

Receipt reading uses Apple's on-device Vision framework. CostCurve does not send receipts or item details to an AI service. Your collection is stored locally and can sync through your private iCloud account when available.

Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled in your Apple ID settings. Restore an existing purchase from Settings > Restore Purchases.

Sharper ownership insights, clearer cost-per-use tracking, and refinements for faster purchase decisions.
