There are now many applications for tracking car maintenance. Free, paid, simple, or feature-rich: how do you choose? We have compared the main solutions available in 2026.
Comparison criteria
To choose your app, here are the criteria that really matter: number of vehicles managed (single or multiple), ability to store documents (invoices, photos), automatic email reminders, exports (CSV, PDF), an AI assistant for scanning invoices, shareable history with a buyer or garage, and of course the price.
AutoKarnet — The most complete
AutoKarnet is a French web application that covers all needs: multi-vehicle management, automatic email reminders, PDF invoice storage, expense statistics, CSV and PDF exports, and an AI assistant that scans your garage invoices. Free for 1 vehicle and 5 services, Premium at 1.99 EUR per month for unlimited use. The main strengths: a simple and fast interface, no advertising, and data hosted in France.
The alternatives
Other solutions exist on the market. Some are free but ad-supported, others are specialised in fleet management for professionals. Native mobile apps (iOS\/Android) offer a good experience but require installation. AutoKarnet has the advantage of being a PWA: accessible from any browser without installation, with the option to add it to your phone home screen.
Verdict
For an individual looking to track maintenance on one or two cars, a free solution like AutoKarnet works perfectly. For a professional managing a fleet, the Premium plan with statistics and exports becomes essential. The key is to choose a solution you will use regularly: the best service logbook is the one you actually fill in.
