Scoring and fair play
ValuX is designed to be transparent. This page explains where gameplay prices come from, how vehicle information is prepared, what a score means, and what the app does to keep rounds fair.

ValuX rounds are built from vehicle listing and auction-style market data. Each playable car includes structured details such as make, model, year, mileage, body style, engine, and a price used as the round answer.
The app is for entertainment and education. A displayed price is not an offer, appraisal, guarantee, or recommendation to buy or sell a vehicle.
Before cars are used in gameplay, records are checked for obvious duplicates, missing core fields, unusable photos, and inconsistent vehicle details. Images are compressed for app performance, and sensitive visual details such as license plates are reviewed and redacted where appropriate.
Cars with unclear or unsuitable data can be excluded from the game. The goal is to create rounds that feel fair: enough information to make an informed estimate, but not so much that the price is obvious.
Base score is driven by percentage error. A perfect guess earns 1,000 base points. As the guess moves away from the actual price, the score falls. At 50% error or more, the base score reaches 0.
In the iOS app, streaks and Pro status can add multipliers after the base score is calculated. This keeps the core game understandable while rewarding consistent close guesses.
0% error earns 1,000 base points before any multiplier.
5% error earns about 900 base points and can help maintain a streak.
50% error or higher earns 0 base points for that round.
Game scoring is validated server-side in the iOS app. Daily play limits, leaderboard entries, purchase status, and score calculations are protected on the backend so players cannot simply edit local data to gain an advantage.
Weekly leaderboards reset on a regular schedule so new and casual players have a meaningful chance to compete.
Free players may see ads. ValuX Pro is available at $2.99 per month or $19.99 per year in the U.S. App Store and removes ads, expands daily play, and adds a 1.25x score boost on every guess.
Advertising and privacy choices are described in the Privacy Policy. Purchase and subscription terms are described in the Terms of Use.
ValuX presents car-price clues in plain language so players can make informed guesses without treating gameplay prices as professional appraisals.
