Our vision

Why Amicitia?

When times are tight, saving money isn’t stingy — it’s street smarts. The questions every Hongkonger asks: “Where’s a cheap meal? When are the cheap shows? Where do I save on groceries?”

The answers are scattered across forums, groups and a dozen apps — by the time you find them, the deal is gone. Amicitia brings it all together: a map for cheap eats, a calendar for cinema deals, and a price history for groceries. Every entry shows when it was last checked.

Curated by editors, not bots

Every entry is checked by a human, with its source stated. No black-box feeds.

Freshness is trust

Updated today = green dot. Over 7 days = “price may have changed”. Honest.

Your data, your call

Price queries only go online when you tap. Records stay on your phone.

Features

One app, six ways to save

Curated and updated daily by editors — every entry shows when it was last checked.

The 3-veg rice map

Core

A map of Hong Kong’s cheapest eats — three-veg rice, siu mei, factory-district canteens and dinners under $40. Switch between map and list, filter by area and price. Green dot = updated today.

Cinema deal calendar

Every cinema chain’s specials in one place: Monday discount shows, morning matinees, member days. Pick a date and see what’s cheap today.

Budget travel picks

Editor-curated airline promos and affordable destinations with rough cost estimates — no need to refresh airline sites all week.

Affordable homes

Quality budget housing: tong lau, village houses, co-living. Editor-screened, with links back to the original listings.

Neighbourhood services

Cheap haircuts, laundries, repairs and shoe mending on a map of local shops — near and cheap, at a glance.

Price Watch

data.gov.hk

Taps into the Consumer Council’s open data: rice, oil, salt and everyday staples. You tap to query, results stay on your phone, with price history and trends.

Preview

What the app looks like

The first three are live app screenshots — the map runs on the government topographic map; price history is still a design preview.

FAQ

Questions you might have

How much does it cost?

Nothing — free forever, and currently no ads at all. We run on open data and free infrastructure, so running costs are near zero.

Where does the data come from?

Food, cinema, travel, housing and services are curated daily by editors. Prices come from the Hong Kong government open-data portal data.gov.hk “Price Watch” (provided by the Consumer Council, updated daily).

Do you sell my data?

No. There isn’t even an account system. Price lookups only go online when you tap to query, and the results live only on your phone. See the privacy promise in the footer.

When will it launch? What about community reports?

The app is in development — the food map, price watch and cinema calendar come first. Community reporting opens in phase two; until then, all content is editor-verified.

Do prices go stale?

Every entry shows when it was last checked: green = today, grey = within 7 days, orange = “price may have changed” with an automatic recheck.

Why the name Amicitia?

Amicitia is Latin for friendship — one person finds the deal, everyone saves. 香城計, its Chinese name, plays on “scheming to save” and “counting prices” in Hong Kong (香城).

Save together, spend smart.

Being smart with money can be fun.
