Question 1

Is OwnWise free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the Individual plan is free and includes warranty & coverage tracking plus monthly repair diagnostics and coverage checks. Paid plans add higher limits and extras like proactive coverage tracking and renewal reminders — see our Pricing page for the full comparison.

Question 2

What types of coverage does OwnWise check?

Accepted Answer

We check manufacturer warranties, extended protection plans, home warranty policies, credit card purchase protection, retailer warranties, utility programs, and active recalls. The Coverage Analyzer walks you through it for any product you add.

Question 3

What appliances and brands are supported?

Accepted Answer

OwnWise supports major home appliances (refrigerators, dishwashers, washers/dryers, ovens) and HVAC systems, with 150,000+ products across major brands including Whirlpool, LG, Samsung, GE, and Bosch. Try it with the Repair Diagnostic.

Question 4

How is this different from just calling a repair company?

Accepted Answer

A repair company charges $100–$300 just to show up. OwnWise checks your coverage first — so you only pay out of pocket when you truly have to. We’re the smarter step before you call anyone. See How OwnWise Works for the full walkthrough.

Question 5

Is OwnWise available yet?

Accepted Answer

Yes — you can sign up and use OwnWise today. The Repair Diagnostic is in beta and the Coverage Analyzer is in alpha, and both improve every week. Early users are first in line for premium features, like guided claim filing, as we roll them out.

Question 6

How does OwnWise handle my data?

Accepted Answer

Your product, receipt, and coverage details are used only to check coverage and guide repairs — we never sell your data. See our Privacy Policy for the full details.

Question 7

How do I contact the OwnWise team?

Accepted Answer

Email us anytime at founder@ownwise.io — we’d love to hear your questions, feedback, or any coverage and repair issues you run into.
