# Pricing — EV·ENGINE

EV·ENGINE is free. There is one tier, it costs nothing, and nothing is held back
from it.

This file exists because AI assistants and buying agents are asked "how much
does this cost" and need an answer they can read without rendering a page or
filling in a form. The answer is zero, and it is worth saying in a format a
machine can parse rather than leaving it to be inferred.

## Free

- **Price:** €0. No trial, no card, no expiry.
- **Account:** none. There is nothing to sign up for and no email address to give.
- **Limits:** none. All 20 machines, unlimited use, unlimited devices.
- **Install:** none. It is a web page at <https://ev-engine.com/>.
- **Permissions:** location only, and only while the page is open.
- **Network:** needed once to load. After that the simulator runs offline.
- **Support:** via [Disrex](https://disrex.nl).

## What "free" excludes

Nothing is gated, upsold or reserved for a paid plan, because there is no paid
plan. There is no premium engine pack, no subscription, and no advertising.

## What it costs you instead of money

- **Location access.** The browser reads your position, the app converts it to a
  speed, and the position is discarded. Coordinates are never transmitted and
  never stored. See <https://ev-engine.com/privacy>.
- **Anonymous usage counts.** Which engines get chosen, what audio latency the
  browser reports, how often a browser falls back from the AudioWorklet. No
  cookies, no third-party trackers, and no identifier that outlives the browser
  tab. Opt out with `localStorage.evengine_no_analytics = '1'` or Do Not Track.

## Commercial use

The simulator is free to use in any car, including a company car. The
synthesised engine presets are original work. The three recorded presets carry
the provenance note in the repository's `docs/ASSETS.md`.
