The simplest logbook of all time: Automatic, tax-compliant, and including expense management. Vimcar digitizes your mileage log and makes managing your vehicle expenses easier than ever before. IMPORTANT: The Vimcar app works only in conjunction with original Vimcar hardware (Dongle or Box). Find out more here: https://vimcar.de/installation Everything Automated Our hardware records your trips automatically and transfers the data directly to your digital logbook online. As soon as your vehicle is parked, the trip data appears on your smartphone. This saves valuable time and says goodbye to tedious manual note-taking. Tax-Compliant & Tamper-Proof Vimcar was developed with tax consultants and meets the strict requirements of the tax office (Finanzamt) as well as the highest data protection standards. To guarantee seamless documentation and protection against manipulation, you have 7 days after the end of a trip to categorize it. After this period, the entry is locked in accordance with legal requirements. Maximum Efficiency through Intelligent Address Linking Use your smartphone address book directly in the app! Our core feature recognizes recurring destinations: when you drive to addresses already stored in your contacts, the app suggests them directly for assignment. Even with multiple contacts in the same vicinity (e.g., in industrial parks), you can select the correct business partner with just one click. Time-consuming typing is completely eliminated. Keep Track of All Vehicle Expenses Now you can record all vehicle-related costs directly in the Vimcar app. Whether it's fuel receipts (differentiated by fuel, electric, or other), tolls, insurance, or car washes – there is an optimized form for every type of expense. At the end, simply export everything together with your mileage log. All Features at a Glance: - Automatic Recording: Every trip is captured via hardware and stored online. - Quick Assignment: Categorize trips as private, commute, or business with just one click. - Tax Compliance: 7-day rule to ensure tamper-proof documentation. - Merging: Combine multiple trips into a single entry. - Export: Generate tax-compliant reports (PDF, CSV, WISO, and more) at any time. Efficiency Features - Address Book Integration: Direct access to your smartphone contacts for lightning-fast assignment. - Intelligent Location Recognition: Suggestions based on existing data for repeatedly visited addresses (even with high contact density within a 50m radius). - Car Finder: Easily find your parked vehicle at any time. Comprehensive Expense Management - Manage All Costs: Record tolls, service, car washes, and more. - Specialized Fuel Forms: Detailed recording for combustion engines, electric vehicles, and hybrids. - Complete Export: Submit your mileage log and expense receipts in one consolidated file. Highest Data Protection Standards - Secure Transfer: HTTPS encryption and server location in Germany. - Privacy: You decide whether to use the GPS receiver.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: FYRST at 5.0 against Vimcar's 4.4. FYRST also leads on monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Vimcar's advantage is review sentiment (92% vs 78%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
FYRST holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 18 and 7 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of Vimcar's written reviews are positive against 78% of FYRST's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Vimcar ships an update monthly, FYRST every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
