Every fuel app tells you what you spent. Bharometer tells you the thing Indians actually want to know: kitna deti hai. Log a fill-up and your real mileage works itself out, tank to tank, in km/l for petrol and diesel and km/kg for CNG. Not the number on the dashboard. The number your vehicle actually returns. SNAP THE RECEIPT, DONE Point your camera at the fuel bill and the litres, amount and rate read themselves. Five scans free, unlimited with Pro. On newer iPhones, on-device Apple Intelligence cleans up even faded and crumpled bills. Nothing is uploaded. LOG A FILL-UP IN SECONDS Quick Add is a tap-only pad with no keyboard. The full form handles odometer hints, partial tanks and the fill-ups you forgot. YOUR REAL MILEAGE, NOT A GUESS Automatic km/l for petrol and diesel, km/kg for CNG, and efficiency for EVs. Your trend sits beside your average, so a slow drop shows up here before it shows up at the garage. Cost per km, monthly spend and fuel price history come with it. EVERY CAR, BIKE AND SCOOTY Multiple vehicles, each with their own stats. Petrol, diesel, CNG and EV, including bi-fuel CNG with petrol. THE FULL COST PICTURE (PRO) A Cost Log in nine categories covering service, insurance, PUC, parking, tolls, fines and the rest, plus advanced stats and charts across fuel and costs. NEVER MISS A DATE Reminders for PUC, insurance and service, by date or by odometer reading. PUMPS AROUND YOU Petrol pumps and CNG pumps near you on the map, with favourites and your visit history. Find the pumps along your route before a highway trip (Pro). YOURS, PRIVATELY No account, no sign-up, no ads. Your fuel data stays on your iPhone, or in your own iCloud. Only anonymous usage analytics leave the device, never your data. iCloud sync, CSV import and export, Home Screen widgets, light and dark themes. BHAROMETER PRO The fuel core is free forever. Pro adds unlimited scanning, more vehicles, the Cost Log, advanced stats and on-route pumps. Pro Monthly, โน199 per month, auto-renews monthly. Pro Yearly, โน999 per year, auto-renews yearly. Pro Lifetime, โน1,999 once. Pay once, yours forever. (Prices shown for India, local pricing applies elsewhere.) Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Fuel Tracker at none against InstantMessage's shown. Fuel Tracker also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
