OwnOrShare

OwnOrShare is a mobile + web AI app that tells you, with receipts, whether you should own a car or rely on carshare/rentals for your exact routine. You connect your calendar (optional), home/work locations, and typical trips; the app estimates annual mileage, parking patterns, and “friction costs” (time to find cars, walk time, late fees). It then compares true ownership cost (payments, depreciation, insurance, maintenance, parking, tickets, financing APR) versus a blended mobility plan (carshare + rideshare + occasional weekend rental). It outputs a simple recommendation, a break-even trip count, and a monthly “mobility budget” you can stick to. It also flags hidden gotchas like insurance gaps, surge pricing risk, and neighborhood carshare availability. This isn’t a marketplace; it’s a decision tool that prevents expensive regret and helps users renegotiate their lifestyle around transportation reality.
